kontra.11 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Can mods please change the name of this thread. Disgusting attitude to have about one of the club legends. I'm personally sick of Fred but he deserves the respect for being one of the leaders of our club, as does Super Matty Thompson. 23 - 12- 11 Time may not be on their side but Fred and Matty still deserve respect This.

Peter Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Oh well, Matt has been marked out as one of our danger men by Chris Greenace http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-sport/phoenix-desperate-to-end-week-with-win-20130302-2fcqi.html Or does the association with Colosimo mean that he will target Thompson and Simon????

Jimmy Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Surely he won't start against Adelaide. Give Meeuwis a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 There seems to be no plan whatsoever to what we are doing. What was the point in signing Meeuwis from the Eredivisie for three months - in reality probably just four more games now - if we're not going to start him? He should have started in Dunedin today. Thompson has played three half-decent matches in 12 months. 12 months FFS. His pass completion rate must be about the lowest in the league. It's not as if we need to give him more game time to assess him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toogood18 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 On reputation in the league for past performances, possibly. On current form in the past season, no. Meeuwis has been with us for three weeks now, it's time he starts ahead of Thompson. Might be the catalyst we need this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony999 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 A nightmare all season. Thommo gives the ball away every time while Colosimo hoofs the ball long and gives away needless penalties and free kicks. Both out next season PLEASE!

HEARTinator Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 As much as it's been frustrating watching Thomo this year, his form has been "inconsistent" to say the least, we need to applaud him for reaching 200 HAL games for us. He's been a loyal servant and we need to appreciate that. But he needs more bench time next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 There's no room for sentiment in football, nor indeed in any other form of employment. We have players on our books who are coming out of contract at the end of this season, and there's pretty much agreement from the club's supporters that some of them are not performing at the required level for us to be serious contenders for the Premiership. If the club is serious about the A-League then these players should be released. Â It's always a tough call when someone just isn't measuring up to the job, whether on the football field, on a building site or in an office. Managers are there to make those tough calls. Â The end of this season will be a test of JA and JD. What they do is not just about the players, and they need to be careful about the message they send to the club's supporters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red or Dead Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I know he's a defensive midfielder, but why does he 9/10 times look to play the ball backwards even when we're on the counter attack? Â It shits me to tears! We break away and instead of attacking he holds the ball or plays it sideways or backwards which allows the defenders of the opposing team to get back into position!! Â I think he's better in the attacking midfielder role rather than the defensive...leave the defensive shite to Hoffman! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We break away and instead of attacking he holds the ball or plays it sideways or backwards which allows the defenders of the opposing team to get back into position!!  I think he's better in the attacking midfielder role rather than the defensive...leave the defensive shite to Hoffman! lol  he's what coaches call a negative player. Instead of looking to play forward and play 'positive', most of the time he's always playing backwards (if he isn't losing the ball)  We look so much more better when we try to play forward as a team because we have enough quality up front to cause problems and create chances. One of the main reasons he should be released at the end of the season, we need more positive players in our squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I found this little quote in the Lynch article interesting:  He (Thompson) is quoted as saying: 'I have enjoyed my time here, but I intend to carry on for several seasons yet.'  This might be interpreted as an indication that his time at MHFC is drawing to a close? The key word is 'but'.

Peter Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Give him the respect he is due. Hopefully for his 200th he will be moved out of defensive mid and into the free box to box/attacking role he does well. It might shut a few people up. I agree however, Matt does look poor as a sitting duck where he is being played at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiz.heart Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 A legend? people need to calm down as we are still a very young club and still far away from creating any 'legends'. I would consider a club legend to be a player that has put in atleast a solid and consistent 5-6 years at a club. No aleague club has any legends so far with the exception of maybe the tards with wife-beater archie. Even if Matty T plays the next 2 seasons with us his current form will never guarantee him legend status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
