ragga92 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Nah no chance of a win this game. I wish we had Sasha Ognenovski in our deffence, I love the man and have since his days in the VPL. I don't know why we let him go to Sydney after he spent some time training for us during an off season while he was still playing in Asia. We will probably score the first goal and do the standard by trying to keep the lead only to cop some goals in the last 30 minutes and lose the game. I am sick of losses like that. Enough is enough and things need to change. This has been going on for two years and now a third, these players need a psychologist to come down and help them seriously. You could feel it against CCM, once they scored a goal that it would be very tough to hang on to that lead and although it took them to the last second they still scored and it was a typical Heart **** up!

belaguttman Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm gonna be super optimistic and say if we create and FINISH the same quality of chances we had against CCM, we could cause an upset here. well yes it would be a sensation as we would score 22 goals instead of 0 or 1 or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournelad55 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 geeeeeeeeeeeez would love just one of Sydney's strikers considering they have: Smeltz, Janko, ibini, Gameiro and Brosque.... we have david williams who couldnt hit a barn door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silva10 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Well it is difficult to see us making changes in defence, unless we have someone in the youth team apart from Archibald who can step up to the first team. So the team I would go with would be: Redmayne Hoffman Kisnorbo Weilhart Ramsey Paartalu Miller Mooy Dugandzic Williams Duff Subs: Velaphi Archibald Melling Garuccio Marino Paddy K has to raise his game this week and I would be inclined to play Duff on the left and Duga on the right so that they don't have to cut back to get a cross in.

silva10 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Can anyone tell me why the A League doesn't have 7 subs like most leagues do? Even if two of them have to be NYL players, surely this would be better and give the manager more choice, and the youngsters the experience of a match day.

Imperial Pints Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I know I'm probably preaching to the converted but to those of you that have embraced the sky blue and come to games clad in that colour -wear some red on sat night! It doesn't matter if it's a red hat or scarf to complement your new home kit or just a plain red shirt. If those Sydney pricks are playing in front of a sea of blue they'll feel right at home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why it was originally 4 subs (inc. keeper), so effectively 3 out field subs on the bench, which is nothing. It took a long fight to get the current 5 subs as well. Hopefully the number of subs keeps increasing as the revenue of clubs keeps slowly increasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewmelbcity Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Dunno why people are banging on about Sydney's strike power. We have scored as many or more goals (can't remember exactly) than Sydney. Ibini is a flog, janko isn't exactly lighting the a league up, smeltz has looked okay not his old dangerous self. Better than last year under ja we couldn't score to save ourselves. People are quick to forget how horrendous we were under ja, at least we score now. Just got to figure out the defending side of the game. Edited November 19, 2014 by drewmelbcity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 We can forget Koren until after the Asian Cup. If Miller wants it and pulls his finger out he could be with us next season at this rate. Quite simply we need to win this game or we start to lose touch with the leading pack. van 't Schip and the players made a complete mess of the CCM match - now they have to stand up and be counted.

Attack11 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 We are an inconsistent side. we will win games that we should lose, lose games we should win, draw games and it feels like a loss, and draw games that feel like a win. The team performance or lack there of, is a reflection on the manager and coaching staff. JVS is to soft and a nice guy hence why we don't have that killer instinct...

mus-28 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 We should match up well in this one, Kisnorbo will relish playing against Janko and Ibini has gone full retard this season, while Gamiero is out injured. Their only real threat should come from Brosque and the 2 central midfielders. We should try and expose their lack of pace at the back again and the lack of steel they have in the middle of the park. But knowing this club we'll dominate the 1st half, miss a fucktonne of glorious chances and cop a soft header from 10 yards midway through the 2nd half and then we'll squander a few 1 on 1's. If we win, we win. If we lose, we lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do we not have weekly updates on player injury, we do not have player updates as to their availability nor do we have a tally showing the collection of Yellow Cards. Melling has shown plenty to justify his position in the line up. Although I would relegate Retre and bring in Mauk instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
