the goals could also be conceded from his side when a foul is committed by him or someone covering for him. He lacks the touch, the passing range, the positional awareness of the other defenders Jamo, you are the weakest link...

Jamieson is the weakest link. He exposes Delbridge time and and time again because Delbridge has to cover for him. Didn't Delbridge get the yellow making up for Jamieson losing it? And when Yeboah skinned Delbridge he came from Jamiesons side. Every club attacks Jamieson because they know he's the weakest of the back four. I like the way our CB's are working together. Delbridge in particular is a tower of strength in the air. Both he and Goode also have been driving through the middle and starting some of our most promising moves.

Love the way Mobaerts has them playing. maclaren is so hot right now.

Noone pass it

Griffiths having a 'mare. He's a liability right now

Too many poor touches and passes for me.

Yep was watching Jamieson and thinking "Not up to it..."

Metcalf reminds me so much of Nemanja Matic. The key thing that EM has added is the one touch play all over the park. That second touch is what kills momentum. No other team in the A-League is doing the oen-touch as well. Great to watch.

What you are seeing on the pitch now is everything Heart promised to be but didn't deliver. Well Er

A young defender with huge potential seeing his career hit a speed hump known as Warren Joyce.

Confusing isn't it? The selections, the omissions. Not really. This club exists primarily to identify, target and sign up the best Australian youth under the CFG unbrella. ACL is nice but not essential. So if you want this club to continue, keep hoping more kids find their way to CFG, because that's why it exists. Me. I'm meh. Heart beat the care factor out of me, so i just take a passive interest. The A-League as whole is on life-support anyway. No-one wants to admit it yet

This wave is completely different. The 50's 60's 70's an 80's were escaping war, poverty and to start a new life. The Indians and Chinese we have migrating here are middle class and are not interested in assimilation now, or later. Ask the Fijians what happened to their Islands after the Indians moved in. They didn;t become Fijian, btw. As far as the Middle East migrants.. I don't even want to go there. Its not even up for debate.

hardly. its about getting in to the most prestigious course in the most prestigious university. Melbourne Uni's student demographic is unrecognizable from when I was there in the 90's. It might as well be a uni in some capital of Asia. @heartfC I agree with you. The claim that all immigration periods are the same because all immigrants turn out the same in the end is absolute rubbish. The current wave has no interest in assimilating. I work in an area with a large Indian population. I've lost count the number of times I've heard them say " I'm Going home, to India for a few weeks". These are young 30 somethings with kids. Australia is just a place to get better income. Its not "home".

Who is surprised by the non called penalty?

What about the arm on Bruno's shoulder/upper arm before the push? Defenders pull this shit all the time. Without VAR he would have been happy enough with a free outside the box. Bur with the VAR it became a penalty.

I meant in general defenders have been doing forever , but yes the VAR just comfirmed it was in the box

It was a soft foul but a foul.

Putting my blue glasses away..was a soft foul iside the box- Victory defender had his arm locking on bruno, then on his hand on his back. Its soft but this is the sort of stuff thats been happening for year an defenders got away with it and is exactly the sort of thing VAR will pick up. Look at all the penalties in the Wrold C

Wasn't The Gooch a winger and we turned him into a left back?

A bit meh

We said the same about Huddersfield. As with Hudders and Mooy the coach is progressive, modern, willing to play youth. Lets hope Rogers doesn't leave then.

Timmy and Arzani go to the World Cup for the same reason: they are capable of things no other players we have are. Neither will start a game and there's nothing wrong with that. Cahill is the best header of the ball in his generation of footballlers, and I mean all footballers, not just Australian ones. His goal sense is second to none as well. Arzani can dribble past opponents like no other socceroo can. Both could play very important cameo roles coming off the bench. I'm equally happy to have both in the 23.

David Villa 400 career goals, which he could not have achieved had we not given him the opportunity to score 2 with us.

Never did like him.

Probably be better off with the OPTUS deal.....
