kingofhearts Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Another missed penalty smdh. We look disjointed and shit. The midfield seems to be not working very smoothly.

We don't know the state of his (COVID) fitness of course, but yes, I get the feeling that for a player who played so well for us at the end of last season he isn't getting a fair crack of the whip.

It can very well be that that we don’t up with any silverware or ACL qualification this season. The cup was a direct spot as well. As great as last season was, the league is stronger now as the teams don’t have the salary cap cuts anymore. We kept the same team and added Pucci and Leckie, who both don’t contribute enough to be confident that we will get much better towards the end of the season. But perhaps we can blame covid for this one with a another test on Sunday. Edited January 5, 2022 by Mr MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommykins Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Well that was an incredibly poor evening of football, though I'm tempted not to read too much into the result given how much training some players may or may not have had under their belt, however there were some absolutely baffling selection decisions and the team looks so lost without Macca up front (not because he's some superb target man, but the amount of times Tillio was nowhere near where he needed to be when someone got to the byline was upsetting). Felt like the perfect game to give Max Caputo a run out, but hard to know who was available. EDIT: Would happily trade the food options from Bentleigh though, superb as always.

jw1739 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 So all we have to do now is buy Bentleigh Greens, change their colours to red and white, abandon the outback location of Casey Fields, and we have our own cosy little home in Cheltenham.

neio Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 My major takeaway and question from the game is who the hell is our back up penalty taker. If Maclaren is missing or away on socceroos duty, where do we turn? Tilio has missed his 2 I've seen him have, Jamo showed he isnt reliable, Florin has taken 1 and missed, Leckie thought there was 7 better options than him, Nabbout I've never seen take a penalty. The only one who stepped up with confidence last night was O'Neill Seems like a little thing, but a missed penalty could cost us points which we definitely need 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
