jw1739 Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) These are the sorts of matches that really test the patience of fans. After we secured the Premiership came a flood of positive media material rehabilitating both Warren Joyce and Michael Petrillo, and elevating Erick Mombaerts and PK to at least demigod status. IMO this one shows that PK has still got a way to go. Throughout the season he's been reluctant to give subs many minutes and then suddenly here he is sending them in as starting players. He did the same against Wellington and it didn't work then - why would it tonight. Equally, the signing of Georgievski was questioned right from the time it was announced. This is going to be a disappointing evening. And I think one that dampens the recent enthusiasm for the club. I don't want to see this shit against Newcastle.

FYI before it starts some sort of shit fight, our best XI is clearly (Glover, Atkinson, Good, Griffiths, Jamieson, O'neill, Metcalfe, Luna, Noone, Mclaren and Nabbout) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what supporters expected I expected this Still 3-0 is disappointing considering how everybody goes on about how good and deep our squad is. We started some real senior players, all our Socceroos! I was expecting/hoping a narrow loss not a wipeout. Saying that even our preferred 11 would have struggled against this Brisbane, their forward speed would have been too much for Griff and Jamieson as well.

If we can get Nabbout back I’ll be less worried but still think we can make a GF. we also don’t have to travel for the rest of the season now Edited May 25, 2021 by CityBoyz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Those will certainly help. And clearly there is a big effect from the exertions of Saturday, the quick turnaround and picking largely a B team. The positive from this game has been the performance of Tsubaki.

MHFC-FAN Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 I'm not surprised by the result given the short turnaround, travel and probably a few frothies... But I can't get my head around why Glover did not play? It's not like he has to move much as a keeper unless he had a few too many celebratory drinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have to travel interstate after only 3 days after that and play a team fighting for their finals spot was never, ever going to end well. Nothing to read into this at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imtellingyou Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 We used and spent too much luck and emoticons on Saturday. We weren't that bad tonight , just nothing was going on our way. The best lineup has changed too much. Georgievski, Galloway and Tsubaki linked well on the right flank in the first half. Socceroos were among the weakest, not mentally there. Sydney also lost the focus after winning the Premiers. Let's brace for the last round result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutton - ok, beaten near post for first goal, couldn’t save other two penalties. Galloway - offensively good, no crosses really landed. Georgievski - had a lot of it as a CB in the first half and played a lot of passes short and long, defensively a mess, moved to RB in second half. Good - struggled a bit, their quick counter attacks were exposing our defenders badly and Curt wasn’t at his best. Reis - ok. Mills - not great. Garrucio - didn’t notice him much. Metcalfe - just ok, bit leggy. Berenguer - got forward a lot but couldn’t play the final ball. Tsubaki - might’ve been our best, was attacking and caused a bit of concern for Roar. Tilio - likewise, was lively and direct but lacked the finishing touch, tried to do too much sometimes. Maclaren - just not his night, when he went near post the ball went far, when he stayed back the ball went across the goal face. Luna - probably improved our midfield, played a few balls but nothing came of them. Colakovski - tried hard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. His effort and fight was nearly the best of anyone, but i think he perhaps tried too hard and got dragged out of position far too regularly, opening us up to the counter. Bit of a who cares game really, we were always going to play a side with the coming three or so weeks and securing the seat the priority. Thats not to say the XI that travelled weren't out there trying to win it, but i also dont think theres a side in the league that could make that many changes and play any better. Obv i think we can be a bit disappointed that a few of the fringies didnt step up to the plate and stake their claims, but i certainly dont see it as a reason to lose total hope given what we have to come back in. Nabbout's availability shapes as crucial if we are to go on and lift the seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO one thing we need to bear in mind is that once a young player drops out of the first team he's not just dropping one level but he's going back to play NPL3. I'm not sure that six changes were necessary and I think there's justification for some comment there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
