Quite a few and most of them want out of the Club thanks to the coach and his peanut gallery crew. Pierias has gone, and that one was ready to start games 12 months ago. It will be one that’ll haunt us. This flog has changed the Club culture alright, he’s made it as toxic as fuck. From the senior side right through the women and youth. No-one through the club knows what the hell is going on. Lies and deception are the order of the day. Looooong way back with some too far gone to haul back. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted March 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 What a boring, shitful game. As expected, he goes with a 5-3-2 again, strangely using Berenguer as a striker. It worked well against an under-done Sydney but it was foolish to think it could work again. It’s far too defensive and the link-up play was largely absent all game. That midfield isn’t creative enough and lacks any sort of drive. Metcalfe should’ve been given more minutes when we were chasing the game. He looks sharp and gives us something we don’t have in the middle. Just another underwhelming performance from a boring team filled with identical players, led by a fraud of a coach. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have de Laet and Bruno - since round 5 we have effectively operated with 1 marquee. Wellington have no marquees (but they sit above us). I'd say what we have got wrong is the Visa spots, Harrison and Berenguer aren't worth it while de Laet and Bart are classy, and Wazza's (mis-)management of the team and presiding over the exits of O'Halloran and Bruno. As bela says above, why have we prioritised giving a 21 year old from England experience in a senior league when we could be helping to develop any number of locally talented players?

But best part was the post match interview on the pitch with Joyce, he seemed anxious, blamed the players then stormed off when asked about his link with Man U. What a loser. Very unprofessional.

Dylan Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) This may be a bit of hopeful delusion here. But I have noticed that there seems to be a noticeable shift to not only how City is covered but also the general supporter sentiment toward the club around the place. Perhaps this will be one good thing to come from Joyce. He does actually lead to a cultural change. Not because he created the change himself but rather he will end up being the catalyst for it after he pisses off.

Blame at players too BUT they are set up to fail. When Joyce was elected the question was: would you rather win ugly or play entertaining football. I actually think we would rather the latter because that mentality seems to bring out the best in players. No one seems inspired to win ugly. How many defenders did we play and we had 3 put past us? This is shite football that does not work in this context. Bring back the entertaining football. I dont mind if we lose games - at least we can say we gave it a crack.

When Joyce was assigned as manager we all assumed he would bring a high level of competence however over the last two season he has managed to destroy the culture and has left the club in the worst condition in the club's history. Great achievement tbh as not many people are capable of this grandeur. People say he is a nice guy though right! Geez.

I was so bad at it that if the ball landed anywhere on the green then I counted it as in the hole. That reduced my score to only double par. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I'm sure it's obvious enough to everybody, but what this game proved beyond doubt is that nothing has changed fundamentally. We are still woefully inconsistent, we still contrive to lose matches we should win (and collapse to draws when we should win), we still get played by opposition histrionics (the penalty was won by the rolling around and face holding from a previous foul) and we are still undone by the long ball played through from defence to a pacy forward. All of these things would have been true, and we're utterly frustrating, two or three years ago. Nothing has changed except that now the football is turgid, and both players and fans are mutinous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are we inconsistent? We’ve played the same sort of defensive football style for 2 years with the same outcome. Scraping out wins with luck and deservely losing others. Same as last season so that is actually consistent! Is consistently being inconsistent actually still inconsistent? Haha I hate to break it to some but the games we did manage to win this season were merely fortunate (as mentioned by others on this forum). We won games we didn’t always deserve to win and that luck has run out now, exposing our true football.

Imtellingyou Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 By having nearly all defenders line-up and still conceding three goals, possibly conclusion may be that we actually have a very weak defence. That's another not implemented 'cultural change '. In the same time we have Bart as the last line commander, who is arguably individually the best A-league defender. So much puzzles around our boring pitch display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
