Shahanga Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 We look a bloody good football side. Shout out to Bitchlicker. Delly and Good were ok at the back but when you add a general my god it makes a difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neio Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Just about the perfect performance Clean sheet Windbichler gets through 90 Our two main scorers on the scoresheet Midfield dominant Berenguer looks fitter than he has ever been Absolutely brilliant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Brilliant win all things considered. One or two nervous moments but a clean sheet is a great result, as are the two goals. Pretty even performance across the pitch. Maybe Windbichler down back, Berenguer in midfield and Noone up front were the standouts but impressed with the cohesion and stability everywhere.

Red or Dead Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 TBH - in terms of the A-League Championship, whatever will be will be - I'm just really excited the fact that we're 1 point away from an automatic ACL spot! Who knows what will happen in terms of actually playing ACL next year, but finally...finally we'll have qualified and be amongst the best in Asia 😍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 A good overall performance. We lost control of the game for the first 10 minutes of the second half but regained it in a polished performance. Glover's goal wasn't really threatened apart from the one time Barbaroussas stood on the ball with an open goal. We did lose some defensive shape during that 10 minutes with quite a gap between the defensive lines, but this was ur first game for ages.

bt50 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Outstanding performance across the board. Florin was exceptional, just shading out Noone. Thought Wales was pretty good tonight tbh, although he still lacks thay final ball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to win two sudden death matches to qualify for the group stage, the last of which against some quality Japanese/Korean opposition. But unless I'm mistaken winning the GF still gets you into the group stage I think, or is that the spot Aus has lost? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't had a problem in past seasons destroying teams when the premiers plate has already been won. I just think they're vulnerable. Weasel face Corica isn't as great as everyone thinks he is and tbh, players like Caceres, Retre, King just aren't what i call walk up starters in any team. Shut their fullbacks down and limit ninkovic and they're not that special. Edited August 1, 2020 by rass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great hosts with Julian De Stoop and Thomas. Production was better than fox tbh set was mint. matty from talking city was Interviewed on pre show.

NewConvert Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 A great win but what stood out for me were the rare lapses/errors. The performance was consistent throughout the match so when an error occurred it stood out. Sydney did have two opportunities - the first one was the offside disallowed goal which was fortunate and also when Barbarousses miskicked, also fortunate.

Appears that under Mombaerts we really have become more disciplined and resilient. I'm not a good analyst of the game - too emotionally involved for that - but it looks to me as though the Momby style is some nice sustained coordinated attacking moves and then a sudden long ball now and then - both our goals came from the latter and were nicely taken. I thought Barbarouses stood on the ball rather than mis-kicked? We were lucky there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, Barabarouses tripped on the ball from a moment of uncoordination, letting us "off the hook" you could say. From memory Sydney didn't create as many chances as we did...
