It annoys me so much that he doesn't even think that his tactics are wrong or bad at all. All he thinks is that we need more concentration and we need to "believe" more. He's either so delusional that he can't see it or he just doesn't want to be proven wrong. Rather than doing some real football managing and changing things around for the players to work on on the pitch, he's relying on the psychology of our players to improve how they play.

Kisnorbo and Migliorini IN. Kewell still unavailable. Germano goes from 3 weeks to 1-2.

The pots; apart from pot 1 aren't finalised as the teams will be put into pots based on their confederation in order for teams from the same to not be drawn together. But obviously some groups will have to have 2 European teams. Australia will need a very easy group to get through cos so many countries are dangerous this (next) year as they've all got some great players. I hope Spain doesn't win and get knocked out early. Belgium will have to live up to their hype and hopefully can go a long way. My tip is Germany. I think they'll finally win it with such great depth and quality in their side.

I still don't understand the logic...

The only strikers that would fit into our "system" would be Peter Crouch or Nikola Zigic.

Won't be surprised if he scores a brace for Malta then misses a sitter on Sunday. If he isn't jet lagged and actually plays, that is.

How much do the Fox Sports commentators love the RBB? They actually recognised that they were singing a new chant. They'd never care if it were any other supporters let alone comment on what other teams' fans were singing or chanting. There's obviously been several more instances of them praising the WSW supporters but this one was a first. It's not like these guys revolutionalised anything in terms of active support. Just improving.

Unfortunately when Golgol came on, the long balls given towards him were actually working as he headed them down nicely to whoever was waiting for it behind him which allowed us to attack and threaten (hopelessly of course). This will probably resut in JA starting Golgol next week and using the same tactic.

Just use ADP as a reason for him to go.

On Melbourne Heart's twitter page under 10 mins ago: "Fans of @redders_20 & goalkeeper fans more generally - it's your lucky day! We will be selling official on-field MHFC GK jerseys @AAMIPark!" "You can purchase the GK jerseys at our merchandise tent on the concourse! #HeartBelieve"

There are merchandise stalls in the stadium (Outside as well I think). $25

Haha, good point. Not in the squad.

If they weren't both away from home, at least 3 points could have been possible from either game. But since they're away, even grabbing a point will be hard.

Pretty sure it's the latter.

I have to say I'm in severe disagreement mate. A chilled salty pint of Ayran is the true osmanli drink to accompany a kebap. Just when I thought you couldn't top uludağ and döner...

We'll get over the line on Friday especially if Kalmar starts. JA said he was very good when he came on and was able to receive the ball and turn and open up space so this better mean he starts him. Crowd could be 10-11k. We must remember the ADP factor. Looking forward to booing Garcia and we should applaud Thompson if he is to come on as a sub or if he starts; when he first touches the ball.

Looking forward to booing Garcia.

Although the stats might suggest otherwise, we actually put in some decent crosses into perfect areas. It was just the lack of good positioning in the box and/or the outnumbering of defenders to attackers. We either only had players at the front post and not the back or we only had one man in there while the rest waited outside the box. Aloisi signed Mifsud cos he admired his runs... He would have been better off signing a Peter Crouch-esque player if we was hoping for his players to play long balls and go out wide to cross.

Have read about the RBB being louder than Yarraside on Twitter, etc. Surely it had to do with microphones on TV 'cause they were barely heard. Btw, I know they use them every game but aren't whistles banned for the crowd?

Melbourne Heart FC Squad: 1.Andrew REDMAYNE (GK), 2.Jeremy WALKER, 3.Robbie WIELAERT, 5.Sam MITCHINSON, 6.Patrick GERHARDT, 7.Iain RAMSAY, 8.Massimo MURDOCCA, 11.Michael MIFSUD, 14.Golgol MEBRAHTU, 15.David WILLIAMS, 16.Aziz BEHICH, 18.David VRANKOVIC, 19.Benjamin GARUCCIO, 20.Tando VELAPHI (GK), 21.Stefan MAUK , 22.Nick KALMAR, 23.Mate DUGANDZIC, 25.Andrea MIGLIORINI ***Two to be omitted*** Ins: 5.Sam MITCHINSON, 19.Benjamin GARUCCIO, 22.Nick KALMAR Outs: 10.Harry KEWELL (ankle – 2 weeks) I would want Kalmar to start behind Mifsud but knowing Aloisi....

Thanks. I found a site which sells it for $42. They send a code to download it from steam.

There could've been a chance of us winning this week but after listening to JA's press conference, he didn't seem to say anything about us not playing well meaning he thought we actually played decently; this will result in nothing changing for the game ahead and we will witness the same thing. The more I think this, the more I'd love to be proven wrong.

Anyone know a site to purchase it for cheap?

Hoffman will score.

We won't get smashed. Don't remember the last time we did so despite our away form. So I'm predicting a 2-1 loss with Mifsud scoring a consolation goal.
