fensaddler Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 We're going to need to score two or three, because that defence is going to leak. The weakness in the line up we'll have for Friday is all in the back four. Muscat is a superannuated card generating machine, and Delbridge is a carthorse of a player (though I'd be pleased to be proved wrong). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Melbourne City marquee star Bruno Fornaroli say he’s ready for derby start DAVID DAVUTOVIC February 27, 2018 MELBOURNE City striker Bruno Fornaroli admits he still feels ankle pain but said he is ready to start in Friday’s local derby after two substitute appearances. Fornaroli was robbed of crucial minutes, with Bart Schenkeveld’s 67th minute red card forcing as reshuffle with fellow defender Harrison Delbridge coming on instead of the Uruguayan who was stripped and ready to come on last week. Despite playing just 11 minutes Fornaroli had a chance to score before Perth Glory’s Adam Taggart netted the winner. Fornaroli admitted he was lacking sharpness but coupled with his impressive 26 minute return the week before in the loss to Sydney FC, said was ready for a first XI spot. “It’s different when you don’t play for the last six months but I am ready. I trained today and I’m feeling amazing,’’ Fornaroli said. “I work hard outside the pitch, my mind is free now. I can play. “I’m training every day with pain. Sometimes the pain leaves me, sometimes it’s harder, but I have to work everyday and try to do everything well. “When you spend a lot of time injured it (pain) is normal. The danger is not the injury, after the surgery they say you will feel pain for (a period). I can’t think about this. “When I play also I forget a little bit and my ankle gets better, I don’t think about it, I’m not scared to put the foot in. This is a good thing for me, I don’t remember the tackle. “I still need minutes to get 110 per cent but I think this is the only way when I play.” Fornaroli revealed that watching the pre-Christmas clash was gut-wrenching but he was thrilled to be part of his first Melbourne derby after providing some memorable moments in recent years. “I’m here, I try to play this game. I live the derby game,’’ he said. “One of my hardest moments was when I went to watch the second game in AAMI Park, I turn around in the car, I saw too many people, our fans, I said ‘I want to play in this game’. “Maybe if they had put me in my ankle wouldn’t have been sore.” http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/football/a-league/melbourne-city-marquee-star-bruno-fornaroli-say-hes-ready-for-derby-start/news-story/294dc7958d45cda41392b328aad7d38a?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfy1 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Daniel Arzani wants to use Melbourne Derby as stage to prove international credentials Ben McKay FEBRUARY 28, 2018 HE’S had just seven A-League starts but Melbourne City teenager Daniel Arzani says he’s as ready as he’ll ever be for a Socceroos call-up. And he plans to show his readiness for the big time with a showing on one of the biggest A-League stages - the Melbourne derby. Arzani, 19, wasn’t in his club’s plans when the last derby rolled around just prior to Christmas. He hasn’t missed a match since, becoming a permanent member of the City side with whirlwind displays of his talent on the wing. As it happens, Victory are the only A-League opponent Arzani is yet to face in his seven starts - nine appearances in total - and he can’t wait. “I’m really excited to be playing. Can’t wait. It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere and it’s very exciting,” he said. “I want to go into this derby and just run at players. I’m really happy to be starting and I just hope I can do really well. “I always had that confidence in myself. “I just felt like I needed a chance and it was just about working hard at training and making sure I get that chance so when I do I’m ready for it.” It could be the only derby he plays in. Arzani is out of contract at season’s end and has been tipped by teammate Luke Brattan to pursue a deal overseas to fulfil his undoubted potential. Despite the hunger of local fans eager to see Australian football’s ‘next big thing’, Arzani expects to be booed at AAMI Park. “I always expect to get booed. I even get booed in Perth, Brisbane, whatever. It’s all good,” he said. “I’m not sure (why it happens). I’ve heard a couple of different reasons as to why. “I think the opposition just boo you because they don’t want to see you doing well. “It’s not a big deal it helps me if anything, I get a bit fired up.” Socceroos coach Bert van Marwijk is expected to name an extended squad for the March friendlies with Norway and Colombia over the weekend. At the time of the last derby, it would have been laughable to suggest that Arzani’s name would be among those selected. Now, it would seem negligent for the Dutchman not to call the Sydney-raised teenager into camp just to get a look at him. Arzani, who is also eligible to play for Iran, didn’t definitively answer whether he would represent Australia if asked but said he was waiting for a call. “I’d be very happy to get called up and I feel like I’m as ready as I’ll ever be,” he said. “I think I can be a bit better physically but my mindset is as good as it’s going to get.” http://www.news.com.au/sport/football/daniel-arzani-wants-to-use-melbourne-derby-as-stage-to-prove-international-credentials/news-story/591b5d249b09a8f45264f3f356e4a21a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
