Kiro Kompiro Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Metcalf reminds me so much of Nemanja Matic. The key thing that EM has added is the one touch play all over the park. That second touch is what kills momentum. No other team in the A-League is doing the oen-touch as well. Great to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, we try to play out the back very quick on most occasions, one touch football. Here’s where some players with poor control can’t keep up, tonight Jamieson shows if we keep developing like this he would soon become a weaker link. 4 minutes ago, Missing_Moy said: Luna looks dangerous over a dead ball Maybe I’m too critical but besides the free kicks and the toe poke, he wasn’t present. I want more out of this guy but I’m not sure if it’s there in this physical league. Loved seeing them play in the red kit tonight!

playmaker Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Good team game. These are games we need to dominate and we did so. Workman-like performance against a weaker opposition.

belaguttman Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Deservedly, top of the ladder. Positives: Excellent performance across the pitch, Le Patrone has transformed the team. For the first time ever, we are varying our pace of play: slower buildup, the quick attack. This has been made easier with good movement off the ball that opens space in attack, shuts down opponents and closes passing lanes in defensive transition. It brought tears to my eyes to see us playing such positive, attractive football in red and white. Dominant midfield tonight, Griffiths, Brilliante and Metcalfe controlled the game, usually played the useful pass - forward when necessary and back when we needed to slow the play. Good use of subs, maintained the pressure on the field, attacked until the whistle Crowd was loud, particularly active. Well done. Negatives: Sloppy goal to concede Should have scored more goals from the number of excellent chances We're collecting quite a few yellows, we'll pay for that mid-season as quite a few players may miss games 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 I thought Mariners were decent, actually pretty good. We just dominated them, and we played with a nice tempo. At times we played that slow side to side possession and then we either took on a man or played a direct ball and continued. It was Delbribge and Good and then they fed Metcalfe and Brillante who were both tremendous. I agree Jamieson was probably our weakest going forward but defensively he was superb. Griffiths again has shown he is undroppable and was solid. Wales was good and Noone showed his class. Luna isn't as shit as I first thought and I'm hoping he is a confidence player and after his dummie I think he started playing with more flair. And finally Wales was very serviceable, he just needs to make better choices but he deserves to continue on the left. Great night and super result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityWildcat Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Not a great game but good enough. Delbridge and Good are really becoming a terrific partnership at the back. We have some great options off the bench. Shockingly poor crowd. Really. But Active were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Just got home, so some more thoughts. We were excellent all over the pitch. A few shout outs- Curtis was a rock, Brillante- wtf were Sydney thinking? How did we prise him out of there? The bloke is incredible at breaking the opposition down. I was stoked to see Luna score. Actually I though the first half chance might have been easier, but not if he’s one footed I guess. Hopefully that goal will give his confidence a much needed boost. No JMac. 6 goals in 2 games, 6 different scorers. Active- Heart era like. Just killed it. Finally I thought CFG would have to leave for us to play in red and white at home again. How sweet it was.

kiko Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 They are very well organised team at the moment. Brilliante and Griffiths make a lot of the team accountable. Wales too with his hard running forays and work rate. I agree with the comments surrounding the variety of attack. We’re not so obvious. Finally found a way to play without Fornaroli. This team has a lot of improvement in them. Jamieson and Bourzanis need to tone down the risky play however. Galloway another composed player. I really liked Daniel DeSilva from Mariners. Any chance we can snap him up next season I’d go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSeater Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Haven’t logged onto here in aaaaages but tonight’s game was so bloody terrific I wanted to get back amongst the forum. Unfortunately I’m overseas at the moment so i couldn’t attend, but managed to stream the whole game at my hostel. What a cracking performance from the lads. Everyone played their role and it was a joy to watch us play with such fluidity in attack. Metcalfe was probably my MOTM, but only just edged it over Griffiths, Good and Brillante. I know there will be a lot of negativity about the crowd figure tonight, and I have to admit, it looked pretty ordinary on the broadcast. But the terrace were simply superb tonight both in numbers and in voice. I know the City Terrace lads have had a bit of a tough time of it lately, but tonight was terrific and I hope they can build on it. The crowd numbers themselves do not matter at all if we’ve got a good atmosphere and we’re playing good football, and we had both of those in spades tonight. One of those games that really served to remind me why I first fell in love with this club, can’t wait til the next home game 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrillhouse Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) putrid weather but same result as last week, batter opposition but not score as much as we should of and concede a soft goal definitely helped that ccm didn't have a striker starting, silvera is a weak cunt noone form is concerning, wales is Wales no home game for a month now and only 2 left for the year no thread for Metcalfe but really excited for him, manages to find so much space up forward and is actually aware of the play around him, if he keeps developing he won't be in Aus in a couple years Edited November 8, 2019 by Thrillhouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was having a bite to eat before leaving for the match it was wet and windy and just 7 degrees down here in Bayside. With much of level 1 at AAMI exposed to the rain, only the rusted-on fans are going to attend in last night's conditions. And I suspect most who did last night were from the Heart days. It really was wonderful to see the boys in our true colours again. We completely dominated, perhaps held it in defence a little too long at times, and missed a whole lot of chances up front, but overall it was great to see. There's so much young talent at the club coming through that the days of having a weak bench seem to be over. Some great individual performances last night as already pointed out by others in this thread. My only adverse criticism would be Bouzanis' kicking. Finally, on a personal note if I may, a big thank you to the Forum lads who came over to see me at half-time. It meant a lot to me, and I hope to catch up with you all again at some stage. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally different feeling last night, on and off the field, from the past few seasons. The goal celebrations showed that the players were happy inside themselves and as a group, active were great and enjoying themselves, and despite the conditions we all felt part of something good. As you say, big message for the club. And the League - don't let corporates and money destroy the clubs we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florin won’t be missed, just like last year will take a while to get back to fitness. Unless the other 4 midfielders get injured. Windy would be nice to have as CB back up but as it stands isn’t in the first eleven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
