Good to see the forum is on the edge of group suicide 16 minutes into the first leg.

Pencil it in tonight! City 3-1 winners. We will put to bed any doubt that we are the best team with a dominant performance away from home

Post and Gauci made some absolutely cracking saves, we got very unlucky not to win by several here.

When our forward-line aren't on it we have no chance. Jmac and Nabbout have been hopeless, while Leckie has been quiet.

We've completely lost the midfield.

nah never a pen arm close to body

Seriously how many times does Tom Glover just kick the ball out of bounds, on the full, in a dead ball situation? Does this cunt even practice.

For those interested, this is the reply from the PFA. "They are different awards and unrelated to each other (except for the fact they are both named after a legend of our game). The A-League Men award (just awarded to Connor Metcalfe) is voted on by the broadcast commentators for on field performances. The PFA Award is more of a lifetime achievement award and based on a combination of the following factors: leadership, achievement as a player, commitment to one's fellow professionals and service and dedication to the game." So there we have it "from the horse's mouth" so to speak.

This is now official and clearly it's a media award. https://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/news/connor-metcalfe-takes-out-2021-22-alex-tobin-medal I've enquired of the PFA if this award is one and the same as the Alex Tobin OAM Medal and await their response.

If we were sensible we'd be playing for an away draw. We aren't sensible

Definitely take that, clearly the better team. Made better opportunities. Adelaide looked out of gas by the end, can't see 57yr old Isiaias and 83yr old Juande being able to back up for another 90. Definitely advantage us

Yes, had the opportunities. Adelaide is lucky to get a draw here. Bring on Sunday brunch time!

I couldn't watch the game but kept check of the highlights. So based off that there was only one team that was winning that game and it was us. So well done boys. Great job.

Yeap that was the bare minimum for tonight. On what I've seen tonight, I'm very confident of getting a result on Sunday.

Huge result and momentum fully with us. Terrific work lads!!

I see a team full of individuals who just don’t understand each other on the pitch, lacks cohesion. A team which manages to grind out performances on individual quality. Dressing room is gone - PK out.

I don’t think we have ever had the midfield.

I reckon we will get some midfield play back if Gomulka starts passing forward and take a little more risk. God I miss having a midfield.

Fuck me Glover is useless

My hopes are not high. That's the standard PK squad.

Thanks for chasing this and clearing this up. Of course just like with many things within our Australian game, it makes total sense to use the same award name for different archievements within the same season.

Bloody nervous about this one. Honestly, I could even tolerate a 1 goal loss tonight - just no blowouts please PK, at whatever cost.

This surely is more of a high press high sock situation.

Always.

Having Florin back is huge but I am worried we'll get his pedestrian version coming off a bad injury. Honestly, I'd only bring him off the bench for the first leg personally but Adelaide away is a massive test so I guess we can't afford to hold back.

No Frenchman in the squad tonight.
