On one level I can’t blame him, but on another well mate how big are your goals? If you want to be Australia’s No 1 you need to be able to see off the challenge of an ageing Eugene Galekovic. Train fucking harder. Work on your distribution to highlight an edge over Euge. Turn over every fucking rock you can find. if your goal is to be the 7th or 8th best Australian keeper than yeah find a club willing to take you.

I definitely can't begrudge the fact that Eugene has had a late career renaissance and is playing some of the best football in his career. Simply unlucky, and not in the Aloisi sense.

rayv36 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 As good as Eugene has been id still back Birraz to be equal or slightly better than Euge, and from memory he has decent distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Eugene has been exceptional. If Birighitti wants to start he has two massive obstacles, firstly waiting for Galekovic to lose form or get injured and then secondly get over the Joyce situation. Credit to Joyce and the club for having this situation it's actually what happens at big proper clubs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 This is a great example of WJ's philosophy on professionalism enhancing our culture and team. He seems to place a huge emphasis on players that are consummate, dedicated professionals, players who approach their football careers as a way of life. EG is probably the ideal player. He is experienced, a natural-born leader, an incredibly hard worker in the gym and on the training track and gets every ounce out of himself. It results in a player of MB's calibre being benched and is the situation we want. It's going to have a positive influence on a kid like James Delianov. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With players with nothing to lose. The ones who are not favoured to start. I like how he gets the best out of them, what I don’t like is that he doesn’t seem to take into account that the seasoned true pro knows how to prepare themselves properly and if they don’t align with his “train yourself into the ground” philosophy then their feet don’t touch the ground. That’s good for bludgers But not for pros like Bruno etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inchcolm Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Success of the team lies in working together. It is the responsibility of a manager to make sure his players are utilised to their full potential. This is where the whole ‘Management Skills’ come into the picture. The most important aspect of the job of a manager is “People Management.” If you are not good with the people you are managing and you cannot expect to get the best results. The manager must be able to handle all sorts of personalities if he is to be successful. We all know of the temperamental superstar how would Joyce manage: George Best. Diago Maradona, Roy Kean, Eric Cantona, Vinney Jones, Luis Suarez etc. He would have them out the door because he has no man management skills. He is not a manager he is a PE teacher “do as you are told or you are out the door.” 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF33 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 It's got to be a pretty rare thing to have a reliable backup keeper who isn't grumbling a bit about the lack of opportunity. Nothing against Birighitti, but more than happy for him to try his luck elsewhere and, if required, pick up another keeper in his position at a rival club. Australia always has quality keepers to choose from. You can pick two roughly evenly matched keepers and let them fight for the spot, or get one outstanding keeper (e.g. Sorensen) and back him up with an understudy who's either just developing or a bit past it. With either approach, I don't really have an issue with cutting the backup loose every season and finding someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that we have Bouzanis under contract for another season. IMO club needs to decide on which one we keep - Bouzanis and Birighitti - and then offload the other. Delianov is a perfectly good back-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityHeart Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 To be honest, I have internally conclude that Joyce has mental issues. The only things that make sense to me is that he is actively trying to run us into the ground - but I honestly believe he believes in what he is doing. Birighitti not playing is another disaster. Gonna lose potentially one of if not the best keepers in the league we could have for years, for an old eugine who has little left. Incredible!

Jovan Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I never have understood that line that "he's highly rated". Nobody fucking knows if he is any good. Nobody, not even Delanov himself. Until he plays several senior games its just speculation. Okay he may have the skill set to be a great player but until he plays how can you say anything.

CityHeart Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 exactly right. What a very strange comment. To lose Birighitti is just further madness for this club. The Joyce destruction is going to take some mending. We have had a good example in Najjar this season - highly rated gets game time - not even close to a-league level! Guy has a long long way to go.

Tommykins Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Najjar has played the back end of two games, both out of position. So I'm not really sure how you'd judge if he is or isn't A-League quality tbh. Perhaps you're thinking of Najjarine?

The Joyce destruction is going to take some mending. As far as I know, you can only play with one goal keeper on the ground at any time. If Galekovic jumped ahead of him in the queue at the start of the season and has done nothing wrong to lose his spot, then I can't see why it is the club's fault if Birighitti wants to leave. I can understand being a pro that if he feels like he isn't getting the opportunities, he would want to move before his career stalls. But to blame that on the club or Joyce is going a bit far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Birighitti knew the situation when he joined - he knew that Bouzanis had gone to Zwolle on loan and was under contract to City until 31/5/20 and therefore that he had to compete with Galekovic this season and Bouzanis next season. Hardly fair to blame anyone for his failure to displace Galekovic so far. Club will have to sort out the GK situation for next season soon. My guess is that they won't extend Galekovic's contract. He's had some very good matches, but some rather ordinary ones too. Edited February 21, 2019 by jw1739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d easily be able to find him another club if we didn’t want him or he didn’t want to be here. Agree on Galekovic. I don’t think he gets a new contract but we’d have to either keep Birighitti or find someone better than Galekovic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
