Harrison Posted March 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 1 minute ago, Mr MO said: Yeah I don’t buy that it’s Troisi being on Meltcalfe at every opportunity, we’ve not played him in once. Two things going on , Conor is a bit ball shy at times and/or we deem it risky. This caused Luna and Berenguer to drop and collect the ball, meaning we are short up front. You don’t have to buy it, but it’s been happening, he’s blocked off the passing lane a lot. That and Metcalfe probably isn’t as comfortable collecting the ball in that position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the good thing about Griff was that he was on the ball a lot more, creates room for others. I see the same issue now as at the start of the season when we played in this formation as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he isn't used to the role, that's all I put it down to, he is moving around but surounded by three players usually, he isn't making space for himself like Griffiths does. Edit : also the fullbacks seem to both be going higher than normal, making it easier to mark him. Edited March 26, 2021 by moops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neio Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 We're slipping. No clean sheet, it took Maclaren until 90th minute to score, Atkinson didn't assist or score, Good gave the ball away once. Terrible stuff, we can't go on like this. Hopefully CFG take action Seriously though, this team is amazing to watch. There isn't a team who can touch us when we are near our best. It's brilliant 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Juggernaut rolls on. My take: They are a decent side that came to win and threw the kitchen sink at us, however they didn’t even get close. Duck we look good. Unbelievably good. Roar in the Ange era stuff.

I think we could be as long as the majority of 11 stay fit and healthy. Of all the teams I think Sydney still have the quality, Adelaide has always been an issue, Perth possibly just cause of their attacking power but their defence sucks and Western United on their day cause they have Diamanti and Berisha. But apart from that I'm confident we have every other team covered, and some of them very comfortably. This is easily the best chance we have had at winning silverware, there is no doubt we are the benchmark at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players should be able to play twice a week, week in week out for months. 6 day break means time for a holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
