Kinnibari Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I expected us to lose but it still feels bad. Did not look like we were the 3rd placed team in that match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torn Asunder Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Brattan must be dropped. Arzani needs to be given a chance. Kamau on the bench only. Colazo needs to play for his set pieces and to take pens. And leave Fitzy on the right ffs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) What can I say that I haven't said so many times. I actually think that we were lucky in this game, we deserved to lose it 6-1 rather than 3-1. Another vintage Heart/City performance crumbling when the pressure is one, so predictable unfortunately. Positives: First 15 minutes cameo from Arzani the game was over after 94 minutes  Negatives: No aggression, no intensity, second to every ball, hassled off the ball in yet another timid performance Terrible in transition, either committed too many players forward or too few, always lost the ball attempting slow short passes to static players. Lost shape in defence too often, most of the second half in fact I just don't care about the result any more, we are well on our way to ensuring our 5th place finish and a timid exit after an inevitable pin dive performance in an away final Edited March 24, 2017 by belaguttman 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering it's the most expensive squad ever assembled i am leaning towards 2. Possibly 3. This discussion has been had many times over nearly seven seasons. During that time we've had just two Head Coaches (van 't Schip and Aloisi) and one Acting/Interim Head Coach (Valkanis). Every season there has been a significant turnover of players, but apart from last season (although we still choked at the end) the end result has been pretty much the same - somewhere on the scale of mediocre to poor. It is the management of the club that is the root cause of our lack of success. I'm afraid that until there is a marked change in management style, involving the setting of stretch performance and results objectives (plus a whole lot more besides), then we will continue to muddle along somewhere on the mediocre-to-poor spectrum. I haven't read anything from City yet on tonight, but I'm certain it will be along the lines of "Disappointing... but...." It won't be hard-hitting, it won't focus on accountabilities and consequences. It's management. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that its the franchise management, the continued success of both the womens and youth team shows us this.

You're the expert on this sort of stuff, so why is there this entrenched mediocrity in the men's set-up? It doesn't seem to matter what coach we have, what assistants we have, what support personnel we have, what playing squad we assemble, it takes only a couple of months before the rot sets in.

He should have saved the first goal,  Bouzanis was getting blasted on here for goals at near post when it was no where near as bad as Sorensons last night And the 3rd, if you watch the behind the goal footage where he has dived to punch ball he actually would have missed it,  he has dived about 2 metres behind where the ball would have landed. IMO he didn't want the contact I don't think he is shit,  but if we're going to judge both keepers the same,  he was pretty average last night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't think he should be dropped but he is just as much to blame as the rest of the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those aren't signs of a mentally fragile team, I don't know what is. It's got to the point where I almost hate scoring in the first 10 minutes, because we'll probably be level (at best) at half time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japiedog Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 i give up. we had a good 10 -15 minutes at the start, but shite ful after that look, give me a coach who will build a team and a squad from the defence. it might be boring as fuck , but we are not going to be giving goals away due to the stupidity of our back 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playmaker Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) The funny thing is, Popa saw we were defending by swarming the box so he pushed his attack out wide.

HEARTinator Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 That second WSWNRMA goal Kamau little pressure on Neville who has time to left foot it into great space as he sees Santa practically on his own. Brattan was tracking him but should have been standing shoulder to shoulder instead standing behind. Santa standing off our defenders to give himself room. We clearly gave him too much space. Â Ruon and Brattan too late to intercept Santa. Brattan starting from behind was not going to catch him and Ruon too far off him to make a timely contest. Santa only needed a metre of space. That's what a striker does but defending oh so fcuking slack. Piss poor defending a hallmark of this side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a look at what happens about 5 seconds prior to the first frame, Kamau just watches Neville and points at him and does nothing. Kamau has to run with the RB if he comes forward. Hopeless.
