  1. I have a sense of excitement for this game.

    I want to see a hard nut effort by our team battling to the very end like they did last week.

    Mombaets really needs to get the boys to deliver balls to Jamie's feet and let him try to dance around the defenders because if Mombaets continues to attack from out wide and/or high balls then it won't be the right play against their tall backs.

    For me this is a game that we need to adapt to win. Attacking through the centre is a must and Luna, Brilliante and Florin need to impose dominance in the midfield battle and released decisive through balls to our attacker's feet.

    If we can achieve this it should be a good win and prove that we deserve 2nd place.

    The game will be won in the midfield.

    Looking forward to the game.

    Come on City

  2. IMO even though he may make some technical mistakes, he reads the game so much better than Dean.

    At his age, improving on technique is far easier than learning to read the play which is more about instinct and intelligence which Dean has proved over time that he is deficient in.

    At this point in the season I would have Glover at No.1 by a long way.

    Yes either low crosses cut out but the first defender or a high cross from Noone landing on the linesman's head. Surely we train on this but for starters Noone can't cross and Susaeta doesn't seem to get past his man to get a good cross in. It needs to a lot work still but is trainable. We also seem to be outnumbered on many occasions when we breakout it's usually Jmac and three defenders in the box, that would require a pin point cross. On Sunday the only time we had the numbers in the box was after a super long possesion spell.  

    Yes, pretty poor delivery, however I still think the wide play doesn't maximise our forward strengths.

    Even if we try to come forward through the centre and get it to Jamie's feet, he may not have a clear shot but at least he may drag out 2 defenders and create space for other players running through.

    We need some other plays to break up the deep defensive lines and become more unpredictable going forward.

    And to add as many others have mentioned for a few seasons now, we need to move the ball faster and with more intent.

    In my opinion, one of Jmac's weakest feature is actually taking on defenders at one on one and general fieldplay. He just needs to be put one on one with the goalkeeper or get good low or high crosses so he can ran against them - Any more time on the ball will get to his head and he won't even get the shot on target, that's obvious the last couple of games.

    Possibly, but he needs to be given more opportunities because atm he is mainly delivered low crosses and doesn't get the ball at his feet anywhere near often enough.

  5. Great game after the first 20 minutes of boring nothingness, then the tempo ramped up and we had some great plays from the defensive 3rd. 

    I still think we are playing too wide for Jamie and we really need to cut in centrally to Florin and Luna to get the ball to Jamie's feet so he can take on the defenders. Many opportunities arose but the wrong option was taken imo.

    It was a physical game and we met the challenge where previously, more often than not, we would let the opposition bully us into a loss.

    Overall it was a 'need to win' game and we won as a team.

    Well done guys.

    From the NASA website :droy: 
     
    Yes, the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change.
     
    Sorry but NASA is full of shit just like the rest of these government funded bodies. John Cook's 97% crappy study has been throughly debunked and no serious scientist uses that line because its utterly embarrassing. The data used has proven to be deliberately manipulated and created as a tool to win over the masses.
     
    The 97% was put together by lumping a number scientific papers which indeed endorsed anthropogenic global warming. The problem is, some of papers authors claimed human impact but did not quantify it, others claim anthropogenic global warming was a concern but had no position on the cause, in fact only handful of the papers specifically quantified the human impact to be over 50% ie "the main cause". Most of the papers does not go into detail in regards to cause and its long or short term impact. 
     
    Here's a perfect example of how a statement can be turned into propaganda very easily. Say I'm asked my opinion on male domestic violence... I make the statement that male domestic violence is a horrible thing and it needs to be stopped. 1 female killed a week is 1 too many. I also add that an Australian female is 6 times more likely to die on our roads and puts into perspective that Australia has a very low Female death rate due to domestic violence compared to the rest of that world...
     
    Manipulation: HeartFc agrees that male domestic violence is a horrible thing and needs to be stopped. (no nuances mentioned, just a blanket statement which can be fit into headline and tacked onto some random percentage of agreement or disagree. 

    Mann's Hockey stick theory, which was the premise of the NASA UNIPCC Al Gore propaganda all those years ago has been debunked over and over again. Actually at the time it was questioned because scientists from around the world acquired data that didn't support it, an when Mann was asked for his data that supported his theory he refused. Up until this day no scientist has had access to that data.

    And yet this big propaganda machine based on fake data and pushed into every part of our lives by the fake science religion headed by UNIPCC and spewing out of the mouths of the Marxist Greens and Labour party. Even more frightening is the indoctrination of our children through lying propaganda set by the Marxist education department who is instilling fear into our children with no truth to what is taught whatsoever.

    It is also a fact that this 97% consensus thing is totally fake because of the 1500 scientists that were asked if they support the Mann-based fake science only about 57 were said to have responded (again questionable truth) and out of that 57 there was a 97% conconsensus. So the whole consensus thing is bogus.

    But again, to everyone reading this,  don't believe anything I say but rather understand that it is NOT settled science, do your own research with NO Bias, and find the truth yourself.

    A great quote to remember when being presented and challenged with new information, 

    'There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation.'

    I agree that we need both, but Transfer fees won't prevent someone like Genreau changing clubs at the end of a contract.

    Then the teams need to be smarter with the way they manage their players.

    Or maybe have a compensation system for clubs who develop youth.

    IMO professional football in Australia needs a complete re-structure.

    Couldn't agree more.

    What are your thoughts on the rumoured cap exemption of all visa players? Will we spend more on foreigners?

    I’m hesitant as we have an internal cap on our marquees already so are we going all out suddenly on them for those 5 spots?

    I think it's more important to have inter-club transfer fees that way investments are rewarded.

  9. I noticed in the last few games that we have definitely changed our style of play.

    Since Susaeta arrived we seem to be attacking more centrally, dominating the midfield, and look very dangerous in doing so.

    Atm we just can't score but final ball opportunities are definitely being created.

    If we keep our starting 11as it is and Mombaets just does a tweak or two,  I think that will give us our best chance for success going forward.

    Who knows, second place may still be possible with a few other results going in our favour.

  10. Boris to scrap BBC taxpayer funding via govt - BBC to charge subscription fee direct to viewers who want it

    Monday, 17 February 2020

    In the UK the BBC is funded by a government enforced so called licence fee.

    That's currently set at £154.50 ($300 AUD) per household per year generating £3.69bn for the BBC last year ($7.16 bn AUD).

    Boris will scrap the government intervention and the BBC will be free to charge a direct subscription fee to users who want to pay for the service!

    Magnificent work.

    Why should governments be in the media business when there are so many free market alternatives?

    Scott Morrison we hope you're listening and learning.

    Downing Street has turned on the BBC — vowing to scrap the television licence fee and make viewers pay a subscription. The national broadcaster could also be compelled to downsize and sell off most of its radio stations.

    In a plan that would change the face of British broadcasting, senior aides to Prime Minister Boris Johnson insisted on Sunday AEDT that they were “not bluffing” about changing the BBC’s funding model and “pruning” its reach into people’s homes.

    The blueprint being drawn up in government will scrap the ­licence fee and replace it with a subscription model; force the BBC to sell off the vast majority of its 61 radio stations but safeguard Radio 3 and Radio 4; reduce the number of the corporation’s national television channels from 10; scale back the BBC website; invest more in the World Service and ban BBC stars from cashing in with lucrative second jobs.

    Set at £154.50 a year, the licence fee generated £3.69bn for the BBC last year.

    The plan marks a further escalation of hostilities between No 10 and the corporation following speeches last week by BBC chairman David Clementi, who launched an outspoken defence of the licence fee.

     

    Hopefully Morrison follows this example as the ABC and SBS is a total joke.

    The only problem with listening to people like him without scratching the surface more is that they add one and two teogether to get 1 million.

    That holds true for all politicians, hence the wise thing to do is to investigate in depth what facts they are bringing forth to debate to implement policy.

    Personally I have been investigating the global warming aka climate change since the Al Gore fake propaganda and it's refreshing that we have politicians questioning the narrative and presenting real science which is unraveling the mainstream deluded view which is being pushed by far left politicians to implement policies which are unnecessarily burdening Australia's prosperity. 

    What I find very interesting on this topic is that not one of the Greens or far left Labour party politicians are bringing facts or real science to support their view so to have a healthy debate but rather are UN aka IPCC echo chambers with no real scientific backing.

    The issue is that the science is far from settled but rather the science against the mainstream narrative is far more solid.

    But you are right in saying that we all should be going beyond the political speeches, but rather we should investigate for ourselves what is truth. But this applies to all sides of politics and media information where we should investigate all things with no biass so to develop an opinion based on the solid foundation of truth rather than adopting opinions from mainstream propaganda.

    I'd rather watch 3 hours of Jason Hoffman attempting to football than anything that come of of Malcolm Roberts mouth.

    Your choice. I am pretty neutral to all politicians however he does bring up many points and he seems to be the only one looking at the real science at its source and it's clear that the greens are running to hide from all forms of debate; they have a habit of doing that when truth is involved.

    What's going OK with Genreau? He would been one of the first people I'd put when chasing the game, he is creative and positive when got the ball. Has he just jot come back from olyroos is great fitness or touch, or is he just not in Erick plans at the moment? 

    This has got me scratching my head too.

    Overall we were creating good plays through the midfield and arguably should have been at least level when Florin was subbed off. I would have thought either Genreau or Metcalfe should have come on to keep the midfield dominance going because we were clearly on top through that area and it was probably our best chance to save the game.

    If anything Najjar should have been central up forward as he is taller and was a better chance to win aerial battle seeing that Mombaets changed tactics.

    Not sure what to make of it.
