You have to say that we've got some talented youngsters on our books. Match Details Melbourne City FC - 2 ( Florin Berenguer 39’, Ramy Najjarine 42’) Central Coast Mariners - 0 Starting XI: Bouzanis, Galloway, Windbichler, Good, Jamieson, Griffiths, Berenguer, Najjarine, Luna, Cabrera, Najjar Second XI: Bouzanis, Delbridge, Griffiths, Good, Jamieson, Brillante, Berenguer, Luna, Noone, Cabrera, Colakovski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt50 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 I think Florin scoring is very important. He's been really ordinary as a whole for us since he came over, but i do hold out hope that with a bit of confidence he could actually turn out to be an effective player for us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Hack Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 With Maclaren probably out for first game of season with national team, is it of concern that Najjar played only a half? He's another who really needs to get on the scoresheet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Lol who gives a shit, its a bloody friendly. Its obv nice to win but anyone that reads anything into the pure result is a moron. The clubs keep the inter-league friendlies close doored for a reason - they dont want to burn fans out early. You only have to come on here about R20 and see people sooking about the league being stale and boring as proof. The other reason theyre behind closed doors is people read far too much into them, and it can affect their consumption patterns during the season, particularly if the results are poor. Out of sight, out of mind for most people. Edited September 10, 2019 by bt50 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of sight, out of mind for most people. Agreed. And let a stupid own goal like that be a wake-up call not to keep passing the fucking ball backwards. And I'd rather see our lads learn that lesson in pre-season than during the season proper. Also, who did we field during the match? So far Mombaerts has been trying various combinations, and again better to do that now than in rounds 1-5. Najjarine was our goalscorer.
