We were rubbish because of how JVS set the team up to play and due to the complete lack of response tactically througout the game.

n i k o Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I thought active was pretty good tonight actually. Although I still don't understand why any chanting needs to begin when the team is in the dressing room and the music is blaring. Just wasting energy for nothing. But anyway, what a fucking shit result. We did look lost without Mooy in the centre but it seemed our subs once again were questionable. Why was Hughes taken off so early? Why was the ranga put in central defence? Why wasn't Clisby started in left back? It's almost comical it's that ridiculous how up and down we are.

xXJawsaXx Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I agree with kingofhearts re: Melling and Mauk. They're really talented young players, but are not mature enough to hold a midfield. Speaking of Melling, I was impressed with his ability to keep a level head after the whole 'offside controversy'. We all know how hotheaded he can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSeater Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Possibly the worst experience I've ever had at a night at the football. Arrived at the 37 minute mark due to faults at Burnley Station and then had to watch that absolute crap. - 2nd goal was garbage whether it was a goal or not. Who the fuck doesn't play the whistle? - That double sub at half time was game over for me. Terrible decision by JVS. How many more "final straws" can he survive? - Having a back 4 of kids including 2 converted full backs for the whole second half was a joke. Always going to lose at that point. No leadership bar Sorenson. - Sorenson was the only bright spot for me. Stood up when we needed him and put his body on the line time and time again. I've never been fully sold on him, but after tonight I am. Very impressed. - If anyone was wondering how Novillo didn't make it in Europe tonight showed why. Losing your head like that as a pro is unacceptable. Then basically starting a fight with Melling before storming down the tunnel was pathetic. - I would love somebody to have the balls to just shoot. Also I get the attitude of hating on the people who left early, and I can definitely understand that as I would never leave early, but after being served up crap like that time and time again I can't blame people for leaving early at all.

IMO definitely the worst performance we've seen as Melbourne City. Glaring coaching errors, principally the double substitution (conceding a goal within 2 minutes just as we did against Newcastle) and the failure to bring on a replacement midfielder. But I can't absolve the players completely either. There were some awful individual performances tonight, with a number of players extremely selfish on the ball. IMO probably only three could hold their heads up after that display. The team oozed negativity right from the kick-off; once we start the sideways and backwards passing you know you're in for a bad evening. We were weak, dispirited, dysfunctional, and seemingly completely devoid of ideas. I don't believe that we can finish in the top four of the regular season. To do so we require 12 more wins from only 21 remaining matches. We've never been able to find that sort of form previously and I cannot see us doing it now. Newcastle and WSW are not even really good sides - just solid and hardworking. God help us when we come up against some of the better sides. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfy1 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Melbourne City coach John Van't Schip takes blame in A-League loss to Western Sydney Wanderers November 13, 2015 Michael Lynch Melbourne City coach John Van't Schip took the blame for his side's dreadful performance against a resurgent Western Sydney Wanderers, saying he had simply got it all wrong in preparing his team before the 3-0 defeat - the second time in two games that City has conceded three goals in front of its own fans. In contrast, Wanderers boss Tony Popovic, although typically measured in his delivery, was delighted with what he described as the best performance of the season by his team, which was winning for the third time on the spin and the second away game in a row. City appears to have returned to its flaky, inconsistent self: a swashbuckling performance in Adelaide gave hope that its capitulation against the Newcastle Jets in its previous home match was an aberration. But this ramshackle effort, where, as Van't Schip conceded, they were outplayed all over the pitch, evoked so many echoes of previous City (and Melbourne Heart) seasons past, where one good performance is sandwiched by poor displays either side. "It was a poor performance, we all have to be responsible for that and I am the first one. I am not happy at all," the Dutchman said post game. "We have to analyse what went wrong in preparing and getting the team in the right way ready for this game. We were clearly not ready, not on our front feet. "We couldn't keep the ball, we were outplayed in the midfield. I can continue, but its my responsibility, it was a poor performance from our side and a poor performance from me. "We had a poor performance and they deserved to win. "It was our worst performance since I am coach here in a home game at least. Its my responsiblity...to get them as good as possible for this game." Van't Schip is to be commended for his honesty, and he did not have the use of by far his most important player, Aaron Mooy, who was away with the Socceroos. But the story of injured players and missing stars is one which is heard all too frequently at City when results go awry: a visit to high flying Brisbane looms and the squad will need to turn things around quickly for that trip next week. Although the criticism is mounting, Van't Schip said he was confident he had the ability to turn things round. "I am confident, its important that we are all confident, the players and the supporting staff. Its something that we have to go back to the drawing board and work hard. Its a difficult game coming up, Brisbane away." http://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/melbourne-city-coach-john-vant-schip-takes-blame-in-aleague-loss-to-western-sydney-wanderers-20151113-gkyu0f.html JVS also said in the post-game presser: - "[Hughes] complained of injury at half time. I think it was something up in his calf" - "Steve [Kuzmanovski] was struggling", but it was unclear whether he meant form or fitness Edited November 13, 2015 by Murfy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neio Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Signings we made this year Sorenson - 39 years old hardly played last year Franjic - injured when signed Hughes -- 36 years old hardly played last year Zullo - injured when signed Gamiero - injured when signed There is the starting problem LB is massive problem, gooch isn't a starting LB against teams who just target him. I would hate to think what a fit castelan would have done if he played full game RB is a slight problem, but I actually think Retre is a better RB than he is midfielder Thought Paartalu actually put in tonight again. I think the dropping of him has had desired effect We missed Mooy massively and kisnorbo and Williams slightly (I know David has his flaws, but kuzi should be coming off bench as impact player and gamiero is showing absolutely nothing) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Defibrillator Posted November 13, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Just home and just flat. Despite the dodgy second goal we shouldn't lose sight of the fact we were thrashed across the whole park tonight. It was as abject a performance as I have seen for a while. I know no Mooy and we suffered - but to be so dependent on one player is an indictment on how we set up. The change of formation was just poor and didn't work the whole game. 4-2-3-1 (I suppose to stem the goal flood we've let in recently) had Melling and Paartalu sitting way too deep and inviting them in, Mauk too far forward with no ability to link up, and Bruno far too isolated. The midfield was slaughtered by experienced international professionals who kept their shape. Mauk was a real disappointment tonight - not providing a linking option, not fit enough, and not smart enough to cover if Melling or Paartalu ventured forward. The three of them played disjointed selfish football with no structure or sense of helping each other. The other real disappointment was Kuzmanovski - not presenting, not working back and when he did he is defensively very, very average. He deserved to be subbed at the break. Garruccio just outplayed and had a really poor game. But JVS what can I say? The structure was not working very early and I was sitting behind Poppa and could see he was tweaking all the first half. Often a pressing 4-4-2 to an aggressive forward 4-2-4, he just looked at our structure and overloaded it. He had us on the ropes early and JVS could do very little - or decided to do little! No one stepped up to the fight and this looks like a team not playing for their manager - obvious when you compare the interplay between players and their respective benches. His cards have to be marked surely. And if Hughes is injured that just takes the cake - the ageing recruit syndrome is beyond a joke now. To keep making this mistake just defies belief. Something has to change. Two primetime home games and we serve up this shit. What chance to grow the club??

Cityamatic Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Well, by Christ wasn't that f***ing miserable. If that doesn't see the end of JVS then I have no idea what it is going to take to get him out of the club. Completely useless tactically and I have a horrible feeling he's lost the players - I really don't think the squad is as bad as that performance looked. We seem to have become completely reliant on Mooy to create anything in midfield, and at set pieces. The only free kick that looked any good was Fornarolis in the second half, but naturally that flog Redmayne made a decent save, the likes of which I cannot remember him pulling out of his backside once with us. I think Mauk and Melling will be good players in years to come, but tonight showed up the gap in class between them (particularly Mauk) and Mooy - going to be very very sad when/if he heads off somewhere O/S next season.... Poor old Garuccio, he had a shocker tonight to add to his list of poor performances at fullback. I think the guy is a capable winger and could go on to be quite good in that position, but at this rate his career will be dead by mid season if he keeps getting played down back- and given were almost a quarter of the way through the season and we've seen barely anything of our supposed proper fullback signings, I'd say he's in for a few more games there yet. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed (or maybe I'm imagining things), but I reckon Sorensen has no confidence in him at all, for example I remember one occasion in the second half where Sorensen had it at his feet and rather than pass to an open Gooch who was calling for it near the sideline in space he put it into row Z on the wing. I actually had to remind myself Gameiro had come on late in the game, can't remember him doing too much of note at all. Sadly I think that second goal was fair enough, been playing for long enough and heard enough coaches bellowing about it to know that you play to the whistle and I reckon our guys stopped when they saw the flag. Understandable, but still something that shouldn't happen at this level. (On this, how's those A-League refs?....) Oh, and a special thankyou to the club or stadium (whoever it was) who decided to tape off a whole area at the back of the Yarra End - which included my assigned seat, and then made it my problem to sort out.

Murfy1 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Beyond angry and disappointed at this stage. Just when the club was starting to build something, 11 months undefeated at AAMI Park, 10 games undefeated, it's all washed away after 2 horrorshow home losses. It was bad enough having the train break down on the way into the game, but seeing the team break down and capitulate was even worse. WSW just controlled the game. Melbourne City's pressing was half-baked, and when you don't get your pressing right teams easily play through you and pile on pressure. And they exposed our makeshift fullbacks on numerous occasions (why do we still have makeshift fullbacks?), and 3 times decisively. The team was off all game. I agree that many players were selfish and dwelled on possession and got us in trouble. Also Mauk, Kuzmanovski, Garuccio and Clisby all had shockers. It was lambs to the slaughter with these kids in this game. Not sure what's worse, how disappointing their performances were, or how much the team relies on kids to carry the load and play important roles in the team. Maybe the awful double-sub was forced, and worse has been JVS' inability to get the players motivated and playing at full energy for 90 minutes (or heck, even just most of a game) this season. The team has lost every time it's conceded this season, and once of course after the team scored twice. The capitulations are damning. It's simply tragic for supporters and would-be supporters. It feels like the same old sh*t with this club, with poor loss after poor loss. Panic stations now for the club and CFG, to ensure that Melbourne City isn't simply regarded by the people of Melbourne as the same old Melbourne Heart sh*t with new branding, they will have to make some decisions.

Harrison Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Christ I wanted a win tonight. Generally I don't like wishing for losses but I think that this might be the straw that broke the camel's back, and maybe this loss is one worth copping. JVS was outcoached tonight. Aside from Novillo's chance, which he royally fucked up, we created very little. Midfield was shredded, forwards isolated etc. Been said already. Didn't mind some of Paartalu's tackles in the mid, but that was about it as far as positives go. To go from last week, to this, is a kick in the guts. Infuriating really.

I tried firing yous up, we copped the 3rd then all of a sudden everyone from halfway up the terrace stopped singing. I dont think im a flog tbf. Plz respond Look, it's not fair to use tonight as a judgement. Hard to get anyone to cheer with such a horrible performance going on. And kudos to you guys for having a go and getting up every home game to get the active area going. But calling people flogs just because they found it hard to chant on such a shit night made me react in kind. I agree the Tando chant was unfair and stupid when Sorensen was our best tonight. I understand that even repeating the same 3 chants sounds okay if there are 10k doing it and having 15 different ones can still be a bit lame with only a few hundred doing it. Just think if we don't have huge numbers then we need to be a bit more clever and make it more interesting with some wit and variety. Easy for me to say that of course. I don't think you are a flog, but calling others flogs doesn't help us. Everyone supports in their own way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 So how many goals have we copped after JVS has made brilliant subs? Our last three games we have conceded 8 goals, all of them in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope people remember their faces and give them shot if they ever come to a game again. Fucken pieces of s*** I left early. Go fuck yourself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told I can have a seat towards the sides of the yarra end. Or I could sit down the other side of the stadium in GA. Cool. What's the point of booking a seat then? Exactly my thinking. Did you get any answers as to why it was closed off? Or if it was going to happen again? (Probably more annoyed about this then I should be, but after sitting down to that steaming bowl of dog turds the team served up to us tonight everything is giving me the sh*ts more than it should) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victards Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Just arrived home and i am completely lost for words and deflated. It's really fucking sad to say but this shit-house feeling I, and im sure the majority on here are feeling, has become the norm after almost every single game for the past 6 years. When will this change? What the actual fuck is the club doing to fix this? DO WE WANT SUCCESS?We're all left with these questions, yet nothing is being done to answer them. This club makes it so hard for us to love when all it gives us, is false hope and pure shit. All my thoughts have been pointed out already and agree with the majority on the thoughts of tonights abysmal game. Following this club is a fucking cancer. And for what I'm hoping is to be the last time i do this, #JvSOut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sectioned off at the other end as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twats like that is one reason l never supported Victory. Long and behold, we have a few of those in our own support group. hah what do you mean, flares have been around since melbourne heart started mate stop braggin like they never where in melbourne heart/city, sounds like the same repeating process with the capo and the yarraside days, all you cunts that are complaining that its not better are the problem you honestly reckon no capo ever wanted to start a new chant over the 7 or 6 years.....of course they fucking did but its cunts in the active that just blur them out and give them no chance its fucking obvious really stupid behaviour which has been toxic with the coach same shit terrace same shit coach same shit results just different name. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
