Mr MO Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 35 minutes ago, haz said: Im going to be entertained reading this forum for the next few days if we lose. On the other hand, if we play our best game of the season so far and win comfortably, im sure we will be hearing no compliments of Joyce from here. Why compliment him? He recruited a squad around one striker, doesn’t have a back up and now drops him. Bruno is hopelessly out of form and certainly deserves to have a rest. But to me Joyce seems lost regardless of the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torn Asunder Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 He should at least be on the bench, but if he’s cracked it then it’s better that he is dropped. No player should ever be guaranteed a start ... it should be earned and fought for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a big call to drop a player on $1m per season. If it works there won't be many complaints, if it doesn't then Joyce can expect to get a barrage of criticism. It's not as if City is a popular or well-supported club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffplz Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I'm not saying anything about Fornaroli's skill, I've kissed his head personally after he's scored, after the FFA Cup I embraced him, i'd sell my mother to him for a dollar. However, he doesn't press like these forwards do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're certainly missing O'Halloran, but, really, we don't have a creative number 10, and our defensive positioning and shape in defensive transition is poor and has been poor all season 1 minute ago, neio said: Put on Najjarine, give us something exciting to look at He should have started.

You can’t drop everybody at the same time. Saying that Baccus is starting to show cracks going back backwards with forward movement, better put Brattan back in his spot.

haz Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I think the most ironic thing about this, is that there are people on here that were calling for Bruno to leave the club only 3 weeks ago, and now the same ones are mad that he was dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meredith did make a good point (also applies to Bruno when he plays), that our attackers dont get the ball facing the goal. Wales, McGree, Najjarine and Bruno can all take on their man. But getting the ball with their back to goal won't benefit the attack at all. This happens due to the tactics of not playing direct, rather just passing it around.
