Harrison Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I think Mombaerts will go with a 4-2-3-1, so using the players we've contracted so far: Birighitti Galloway/Good/Delbridge/Jamieson Griffiths/Baccus Noone/Genreau/Berenguer Maclaren - Decent XI but it's lacking a match winner. Bring in a quality 10 and we've got a good shot at the title, although Genreau looks promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originalmeme Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 birra galloway, delbo/good, bart (we can only pray), jamo baccus, metcalfe, florin/new signing noone, jmac, signing can see us winning with that. if baccus can build his attacking game more, happy with him to play. tackles well, keeps the ball 9/10 times well. has the capacity to play a good direct pass but doesnt do it enough (stifled by joyce i bet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this type of post has been made every season since Fred got injured. The ironic thing is that's it's absolutely true, although the season and a half we had it (with Mooy) We still found a way to fuck it up. 15 minutes ago, Bob Latchford said: Don't understand the Baccus hate.

He had every opportunity to take risks be it a pass or a shot and nearly every time he chose the safe option. If he is a regular starter (Playing like he did last season) We are going backwards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 IMO the problem we have with Baccus is that is he is very predictable - get the ball, turn backwards, two or three more touches to get the ball on his right foot and then play a long looping pass out towards the left wing. By which time all forward momentum has been lost. He's also very reluctant to have a crack at goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IssySG Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Wouldn't account for Genreau being apart of our team in the 19/20 season. He said on an interview with the Daily Football show that he has every intention of staying in Europe. So he may have come back to work out another loan or maybe selling him for a fee, but I highly doubt he'll be playing in City Blue next season.

Keep the ball at all costs. thats what i was getting at, joyce took away any risk in our game, when baccus did have a crack at a forward ball it was usually very good as he finds himself in some great forward space sometimes because he turned or got rid of his marker (but then will play back or to the side).

Harrison Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Baccus shouldn't be used as an 8. Square peg... All of his qualities suit the 6 but Joyce more often than not used him as the 8, especially towards the end of the season. Baccus will get used as a 6 quite a bit by Mombaerts IMO, particularly if he goes with a 4-2-3-1 and we build up from the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playmaker Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 In a 4 2 3 1 you need midfielders that can pass a ball to cut through a defence. The only player on the list that has those attributes atm is Florin. Bacchus and Griffiths should not be starting together based on their performances last season. However Joyce was useless so who knows if they have it in them or not. That is why I am finding it difficult to assess any of the player's competencies while playing under Joyce's oppressive rule.

IMO it's "wait and see" - as with a lot of other things - Manager, another Assistant Coach, a GK Coach, Schenkeveld, Good, Brattan... Genreau...you perhaps could add in there Bouzanis and Birighitti. As far as Genreau is concerned, he's contracted to us; I can't see any value in us loaning him out again unless it enhances our prospects of getting a fee for him, or him returning to play for us a better player; - and as for us selling him before next season - well, he needs to find a club prepared to sign him first. More generally, IMO if we want to make the A-League a better league, one thing we need to do is to get fair dinkum about contracts. At the moment players feel that they can walk the moment they want to, and that doesn't help the clubs make plans at all.

No. He was well known for the backpasses, hence WSW fans didn’t mind seeing him go for the same reason. Joyce just loved it and played him for that. 1 hour ago, playmaker said: In a 4 2 3 1 you need midfielders that can pass a ball to cut through a defence.

It could be that one of the foreigners starts on the bench. I don’t think all four can fit unless one of them is comfortable playing deeper.

Imtellingyou Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Can Florin be physical and play DM? Jamo is the weakest player in this lineup and doesn't provide more crosses than Good who is better defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Based on last season I don't see Berenguer as anything other than a bench player, where we've also got the likes of Genreau, Metcalfe and Najjarine.

bt50 Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 IMO Florin takes over Dario's spot from last season as the bench player that can slot into either wing or CAM slot if we get an injury/as a 70ish minute sub. And tbh i think he's a good option for that role. At this stage its Brillante and Griffiths for the two dm spots, with Metcalfe and Genreau in reserve. Wouldnt surprise me if we were having a crack at Jesse Curran either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imtellingyou Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Florin didn't have anyone to play with on the left side. We also played with 3 DM. He was better in the last part of the season after JM came. French coach didn't sign him but he will give him opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Assuming that Griffiths goes, I'd not be devastated to see Genreau or Metcalf play the box to box role, in front of Brillante and behind Luna. If they are good enough they are old enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
