neio Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 As sad as it is, we have to move on from another derby thrashing. Macarthur away is interesting, they are dangerous when things going their way. But we have shown and other team have shown they are gettable especially if you go quick and direct. I don't expect a walk over like we got last time, but 3 points is definitely expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Wish we could play the Tards every week. Everyone else knows us now and are keen to knock us off. On a positive note though we are at close to full strength and the coach has now got 3 tough decisions: * Which attacking midfielder to omit. * omit one of Griffiths/Reis/O’Neill *can he find a starting place for Tulio Bottom line is this will mean quality weapons on the bench. MacArthur are a decent side, but I’m expecting to come home with 3 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IssySG Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Tickets bought, going with about 10 people and really looking forward to it. Would love to see Tilio get a start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 If we continue to play at our best then it’s an easy win tonight. But can never be too sure of anything in this league. Maybe an unchanged lineup. Tilio is getting closer to a start though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 I think O’Neill might start and play (say) 60min. I thought he made a difference going forward. As to who to omit? Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I would say, not so difficult to leave someone out, just pick a name. The hard part is doing it in such a way that you don’t alienate the unlucky bloke on the receiving end.

Another cracking exhibition for the A League though. Two teams really going at it and a fabulous atmosphere. To even consider taking the Mariners from Gosford is just the antithesis of everything football should be about.

moops Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Good game so far, their press and tempo is making it hard for us. It's what we need as a team, as Asian teams will be more like this, enjoyable to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 That’s as poor as we’ve been in about 2 months. MacArthur have been good, but we’ve been poor. Sloppy passing. Can’t hold the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) We seem to struggle to play our traditional game against teams who play with 3 at the back. Outnumbered then in midfield and not enough creativity. Edited April 24, 2021 by Mr MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think Flo would make a difference- his quality is such that he can’t really be stressed by pressing. Also worth remembering pressing is hard. Players doing it get tired. Might open up the last 20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
