  1. Game management was poor - we were facked after equalising, so what do we do, push on and get smacked on the counter - we should have sat back a little after that one, in the context of the season, a draw would have been alright and kept us level with Cental Caravan Mariners (Fuck Matt Simon)...

    I also think we should play 4-4-2 ... put Antonis or Caputo next to Jmac, and fack of Lopane

    Right hand on shoulder and left hand shirt pull was never going to stand. I think the VAR would have pulled it back too. 

    I want to win too.

    Freeze frame means shit all. Ya get a million of these little  contests in the box every corner ... Broxham (who is an incredibly weak person) had already lost the ball at this point due to his lack of strength and testicular fortitude, and if anything JMac is actually trying to help him from falling given his brittle nature. Ball is well and truly gone from  him at this stage as he was out of the contest ... 

     

    I was at the game ... and everyone was bemused that it was a free kick ... EVERYONE ... even the ref

  3. Was at the game and had a clear view of the disallowed goal. 100% not a foul, there was a heap of strength over the ball type contests in that box scramble and Jmac was simply stronger than Broxham, who is a whiny little bitch that flung his arms out and weakly fell over, crying real tears as well.

    Goal should have stood and Broxham should have been carded for extreme weakness

  4. Was at the game and dont think our current squad suits the formation we play.  We try to dominate possession and then are totally predictable with side to side passing, and then wide attacks that go nowhere, except backwards or side to side.  Talbot kills 98% of attacks he is involved in .... i think Galloway should be given a go.  Jakolis is improving, has a sublime touch, but still struggles with his finishing pass, and has no chemistry yet with JMAC, or Aziz.  And our system does not work for JMAC.  Its so easy for anyone to defend against us , let us have the ball and overload out wide and compress the middle ... our wide players hardly ever try and get in behind (only Aziz on occasion).  And eventually we cough one up on the counter.  And our current style means we get very few counter attacking chances.  And when we do, JMAC has no pace or touch to take advantage (as he is a tap in goal scorer)

    Maybe we should have had a couple of goals last night, but also out stale play makes me think we didn't deserve to win.

    With the players we have, I think Vidmar must tweak our formation.  

    I want to see a traditional 4-4-2 and this would be my starting 11 ... 

     

                 Young (GK)

    Galloway   Nuno   Good    Aziz

    Sakhi  Ugarkovic  Arslan  Jakolis

                JMAC   Natel

     

    I think this would work heaps better.  Easy for Leckie to slot back in as well...

  5. Good, Nuno, Talbot and JMac are the only ones from last year's team on the pitch... pretty much completely new ball game.

    Def gonna tale time for us to gel. Jokalis hasn't got a final ball in him ... has been the way in every preseason game as well

    Overall team balance seems a bit off. We've got quality in the squad. Just not clicking. Will take some time. I think a bit of player rotation may help as well.

    If we are always going wide on attacks, at least try to get in behind ... this will suit Jmac.  The Brazillian seems he has a few nice tricks. He should start over Jokalis

  6. I have unbridled hate towards this service ... its literally the worst ... EVER!!!  From the crappy interface and streaming functionality for live sports, to the inability of the TV app to remember watch history, to the delays in getting access to replays.  Its a disgrace to have to give them any money ... but how else can you watch away games, etc.  Fack em ...

  7. FIFA recognises us as Premiers / Champions ... fuck the Finals cup. Terrible, terrible concept  ... just look at the history of really shite one sided games ... it just doesn't work to produce a true champion  

    The sooner they piss it off the better. Last game of the season should be the Australia cup. Least that has some legitimacy.

    Harper and Beath are genuine cunts

  8. I also think the football purest are just not into the Finals Series.

    Let's face it, we are champions.  They've already given us a proper trophy recognised by FIFA and that gets us into the ACL.

    The blatant sting and cash grab for finals just doesn't sit well, especially given the cost of memberships, and like mentioned above the limited benefit you get for being a paid up member come finals.

    To me, if they did a proper Australian Cup, and timed it better throughout the season, that could be the final game of the year. It would be a lot more genuine, and I reckon worth paying for (rather than it being a dodgy pre-season fixture).

  9. I went to all home games this year, but not going to this one ...

    Very little reward for members (and I am a foundation one) ... Ive forked out decent money all year on the club ... really, should be better deals or tied into memberships ... for this game, for me to reserve my yearly seats for my family is $170

    Feels like a hollow game, will be watching (and screaming at the TV ... i think its of Free to air) ... will be doing the lads a favour as they'll have a small crowd in Sydney if we make the GF

    Fuck Sydney. hope we pump them

  10. There should be more value put on the Australian Cup, and that should be played in Sydney two weeks after the last game of the season (like the FA Cup at Wembley)

    They should also eventually have relegation / promotion playoffs at this time as well.  That can be their festival of football.

    I cant get motivated about finals this year, without the hope of us playing at home in the finals cup final ... (as we are already league champions)

    As everyone starts to realise the current position of power that CFG hold.  They have been patient in Melbourne, but now, our sustained success (like a juggernaut) will roll on.  I've already had a Tard supporter whinge to me that the comp is now boring as we win too much 😝

    You have to appreciate how they have created their position of power.  Selfishly long may it continue for Melbourne City ... 

      

  12. I need to watch the replay ... hearing that Harper was carrying on as per usual

    Its sort of funny that the tards had a bunch of ex City (Heart) guys running around for them and Bruno was probably their best

    When I look at our crowd and how many young kids are City supporters, I reckon in 10 years we will pass them in terms of support numbers (if we can continue being successful and producing Socceroos)
