Don't let that dickhead Andy Harper get in your head, he laid the boots into Berenguer every chance he got saying he looked tired and heavy legged. His commentary was near on unprofessional last night the was he was flat out barracking for WU to win. Of those so called neutral experts Bozza is the only one who gives us any credit at any stage But Berenguer was invisible, couldn’t stay on his feet, his usual short burst all lacked intensity, lastly stayed hidden behind his man a lot which forced us to play the long balls. Don’t rate Harper but that was the old pre Christmas Berenguer we’ve seen last night and clearly he wasn’t right.

I thought as a midfield trio they were all down and beaten, but who cares we still have a game to play, and unless he is injured, I'm not changing the starting 11.

Missing_Moy Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Metcalfe looked very Energetic when he came on compared to Flo but we’d just scored a goal and the game opened up a little then! Flo should’ve put us up when he missed the goals entirely from 7 yards out IMO Edited August 27, 2020 by Missing_Moy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The week off probably helped him overcome the issue but came at the expense of his match fitness and general sharpness. Will be better for the run though and will certainly start.

My feeling with Berenguer is that he is not a person with a lot of self-belief. He's missed so many easy chances with us. I recall one fresh-air swing from about a metre from the goal-line. The opposite of, say, Maclaren, who is probably nowhere near Berenguer technically but has oodles of self-belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berenguer might be an Archie Thompson type player, in that when he is playing against opposition that are marginally less skilled than him he can significantly out perform them, however when he is up against players that are marginally better than him (i.e. AT playing for Australia against reasonable opposition), he is made to look rubbish.

Says we're either (a) just a solid team, or (b) the process is totally fucked (maybe both). By the numbers: We finish second by 6 points and only get one nomination for A League team of the season (JMac). Sydney finish top by 6 points and get 4 starters and 1 pine warmer. Wellington finish 3rd for 2 starters and 1 pine warmer. Brisbane 4th and 1 starter. Geelong United finish 5th with 2 starters. Perth 6th with no rep (fairly right).

More than happy with it and I hope we see most of them in City colours again next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityWildcat Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 What an absolutely shit end to a crap year. We make the GF after 10 years and 99% of us cannot be there. Which means we are BOUND to win The Toilet Seat. Le Genius departs straight after. And we're quite probably back to being managed by a former player. This has not served us well. Bah.

I reckon most of the old Heart faithful would have gone as well. Would have been a big turn-out of travelling fans. Indeed it is sad.

Almost half our games we can’t even pass it to each other more than three times! Windy would be up there if he played all season I would say.

belaguttman Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 It's taken me until now to pick my jaw up from the floor and reassemble it after we won our semi. A pretty average performance, but we won with an average performance in a very important game, hopefully, that wasn't our 'grand final'. I'm looking forward to the delayed telecast in standard definition, a real highlight of football television! Still, we are in a final, and actually playing pretty well. We do need Florin to lift, our midfield was invisible in the semi, but the smurf's style suits us better than WU's bus. It's hard to know how it'll go, hopefully a win may encourage Le Parton to stay, we really need the coaching continuity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
