    I smell another weird VAR situation in this one, possible red card for Delbo and the standard Wales row Z finish from 10 yards. 

    1-1.

    I.e. feels like one we should win so we probably wont?

    I am feeling different. It feels like a game we will lose because we should have won it, and therefore we will win it because the opposite of what should happen generally happens.

    That might look like that but in reality we’ve played most games exactly the same; some games who rode our luck, others we won comfortably and the ones we lost we refused to adapt our strategy but always played the same.

    Okay revise because both correct.

    We cannot seem to consistently dominate. Probably more to do with how teams set up against us, and how much it impacts on our ability to play our game.

    Right now, whilst being second, we are the third placed team based on number of games to be played. Perth with 2 games in hand are only 1 point behind. Wellington are equal points and games played. Adelaide, who are 5th, have played equal games as us.

    Based on our season so far, third seems to be a fair position to be in. We've been very good for a lot of games. We've fallen short in some others. Still the games that have hurt us the most from memory was the loss to Sydney against 10 men and the 2 games against Brisbane whilst they were still struggling. Outside of that the other losses we simply weren't in it to begin with (eg. Perth 0-3, Adelaide 1-3, victory 1-2) perhaps with exception to the Wellington game last weekend. 

    One thing is we can't afford to drop points like we have because teams like Brisbane are riding a wave of momentum. In saying that, we are coming up to an easier run of games than we've had the last 3 weeks. We can not only hold third position but perhaps cling onto second. Otherwise if we don't capitalise on it then we could drop down the ladder very quickly. 

    We're going down.... We're going down.... We're going down. We're going down. We're going down!

    Reflecting on the game...

    I watch a lot of football. I watch leagues and follow teams who play inconsistent football. A 1-0 loss away in these leagues can be copped on the chin.

    I cannot help but feel, however, that City just are not up to it against teams who match them. Yes they have the capacity to dominate but rarely have we this season. Many JMAC goals have been scrappy and have needed luck.

    It just feels like that when a team match our gameplan and compete on the same level then our plan falls to shit because we go out with the mindset that teams have to adapt to us in order to gain an advantage. Reality says otherwise.

    I know its a long trip across the ditch. Very little gave me confidence lastnight going ahead.

    5th seems appropriate.

    We still don't have quality in midfield to create enough.  Our game style is just a bit too rushed at the moment.  We are very wasteful going forward at times.  AUFC hadn't scored from a corner all year - man,  when we are off,  it's very horrible to watch

    When was our last decent outing? Newcastle was a gift - we did not earn that. Cannot remember for the life of me...

    Jmac is a touchy subject - in the eyes of some he’s a worthy marquee as he can score goals in the A-League and with others he’s not because he doesn’t bring bums to seats, goes missing in games and besides the poachers goals it’s nothing special skill wise.

    I refuse to believe it’s 100% cultural, only look at some of the errors we make or basic football skills we lack - our players just aren’t good enough to make a difference in this league at the moment.

    Some key players can’t even pass or control a ball properly, turn away or get past their direct opponent in situations when it matters.

    You would be surprised what this team can do with another decent CB (Level Hendry of higher), proper marquee player maker and wingers in their natural positions to serve Jamie Maclaren. But I’m only dreaming.

    I agree. I am happy he is in our team but would be happier to see the service to him improve.

    Yes you are right too - skill wise we have been low on competence. Frustrating to see.

    I think that people are drifting away on a permanent basis i.e. it will be extremely difficult to attract them back. I was thinking of just one match where members might stay away en bloc  - as a demonstration of dissatisfaction. But Abu Dhabi wouldn't take any notice anyway. Too fucking arrogant to admit that they've got things wrong.

    People dont feel allegiance to the club in the same way you see across the world. For one, I feel closer to my Eng club than I do Melb City. And that says a lot. Having said that, I attend every game and spend a lot of time on City.

    It is just not the same for others. A League is 'cheapish' family entertainment devoid of entertainment. The rusted on faithful, hoping one day to lift the Aussie standards and love of the game, will always be there. These are few and far between. Everyone else needs convinving to come - City needs further convincing given Victory are more appealing and have better history, play in Asia and generally are up there come seasons end.

    Even JMac is not enough to entice UNLESS he is firing with others around him. The general view is that we are offering the same mediocrity despite our good start. As others have said - these issues are cultural. Something still smells off at CFG.

    Can you even replace the Injury replacement.

    Such bad luck for the lad looked class above the rest good on the ball, pacey and reading the game. Bart 2.0

    We are fucked. 

    Could not win with the full squad. Fucked without Delbo (god knows how many games) and Hendry.

    Good and Griffo, Jamo and Galloway. We are absolutely fucked.

    Oh no. For real? I said in his thread before that it looked really nasty. Is it a partial tear?

    I actually think we’re fucking cursed. 

    Mombaerts unsure. Just suspects its bad. Off for confirmation.

    League wide this happens all too often. We suspect its the pitches. It is such a bad look when foreign players are considering coming here. As if we need the prospect of serious injuries against our league - already have enough going against us.
