Mass spends the whole game buzzing around everywhere and by half time he's fukd. Paartalu's positioning at the moment is no good and is nowhere near it. Realised last night that by half way through the second half, this bloke is stuffed because he's trying to do the job of three men. Hence some of the sloppy stuff he produces the longer the game goes on.

Missed a golden opportunity to score more goals tonight. Did anyone notice the touch and poise of Redfoo Malik? Fukn woeful I thought. We should have targeted that.. pretty hard though i guess when you have 45kg Mate playing in the completely wrong position. Better off trying to change him into a LB then persist with this central striker bs.

Hmmm looked like a quality penalty to me.

Can't believe how no one has mentioned Paartalu yet. I had no idea where he was half that game. Not sure if he did either. Mooy is a legend and he must be getting pretty pissed off having to cover him for so much of a game. Until he gets himself right, I wouldn't start Erik. Instead I'd have Mass drop back as the DM. He would last the game longer picking the ball up from the back and buzzing side to side, instead of up and down. That way we can keep his energy on the pitch too. Mooy and Mauk can then play as the more attacking midfielders until Koren is right, if we stick with this formation.

Weird isn't it. Move our front three from last week across a position to the right and all of a sudden it looks a lot better.

Good to know about Williams - just have a strong feeling he isn't ready. Happy to be proven wrong though. Think Nicky may be in trouble though as they would probably want to promote one of the younger dudes before him.

Agree on Kalmar, lucky to get a bench gig now. Also dont think Williams is ready just yet, but Garuccio should be.

He says that Aaron Ramsay will not cope at left back - I wish! I'm sure that Aaron Ramsay would have better technique and defensive positioning than Iain Ramsay. Germano will play there this weekend.

Agree, but not in round 4 after 2 draws and a loss. Marino > Mate. Mate needs a swift foot up the arse and some time in the Youth team. He's become our own Nicky Ward, the occasional flash of brilliance followed by endless mediocrity. Maybe, but that's a call based on potential since he hasn't proved anything yet. He'll get his go after Villa has gone and Williams is right, which wont be this weekend.

Don't know exactly, but you'll see them start 10:00am most weekdays from what I have seen.

This. It's ok to corral someone like Barbarouses as he would just skip past you if you dive at him anyway. But to also retreat at the same time just allowed him to run directly into the line/box without any pressure on him what so ever.

Again, well said. No one has tapped me on the back yet and said I cannot wear my old Heart gear. Nor have I received any club emails banning me from wearing anything but sky blue. So until that happens, I believe the issue with away kits not being available is a supply issue - and not some conspiracy theory that our new owners are now disrespecting us by trying to whitewash our history.

Exactly.

I reckon Germano will play LB this week.

Do people realise that our home kit is also unavailable from the club?

No, I am pretty sure I see the point. Writing in other threads that CFG are 'cunts' makes it quite clear to me. Seriously, as if wearing the red and white Heart gear will get them to change. If you want to make a point to them, rip up your membership of their club (and yes, it is theirs now). Are you prepared to do that?

Are you a Melbourne City member?

At least you have an opinion of them... because I bet they wouldn't give a f*ck about you... and why would they - especially with the continual shit you have dumped on them since they took us over.

EXACTLY!

Absolute gun

Actually don't think this is as far fetched as it may sound. Wouldn't be surprised if they try this at some point.

Can see Trani getting the gig at some stage this season.

I think chapman was injured in youth league on Sunday. You are correct HUN reporting its a week for him with a hamstring I have a feeling Williams won't be ready and if so, will be from the bench. Garuccio may be on the bench also. Germano is a definite however.

Completely agree Peter, Im feeling more disgruntled and isolated from this club I once loved than ever before. This. Peter to your credit this is exactly what you predcicted and it is exactly what has happened. It was so frustrating being at the game on saturday, without the old heart fans there would be no identity for the club at all. Im out Tipping you weren't as frustrated 44 minutes into the first half...
