Biggest problem is  we probably won't or JVS refuses to change formation.  OH if only.

Just finished watching the replay. I can see no reason why Franjic ought to be in the starting XI. He seriously underperformed for the whole time he was on the pitch. Say what you want about Malik or Clisby or Caceres, Franjic was just poor. Start Retre instead and if things are not working then sub Franjic on or if things are going really well then bring him to get some form.

I don't mind if we play the same system against Newcastle as I think we'll run over them. The problem lies in when you play a team like the Wanderers who have player that will hurt you.

The problem with this is Retre is much better in the midfield then he is as a rb, i'm willing to give Franjic a couple of games before we start writing him off.

I haven't written him off. He has shown that he can produce quality before he joined City and since. The problem over the last fortnight is that I am having difficulty seeing his output being productive. Like I said having watched the game again with the ability to pause, rewind, etc. that is when I realised that he was by far the worst performer on the pitch for Melbourne City. It could have been exhaustion but the previous week, well I wasn't that impressed either. I agree that Retre is better midfielder than RB but right now, at least to me, Retre is the better starting option for RB.

The contrast in opinions on this team depending if we win or lose from this forum is just ridiculous.

If we beat Central Coast at home, we're better than Barcelona. If we lose 4-3 to the top side away then we're gonna get relegated and JVS needs to be burnt at the stake immediately.

Caceres missing due to red card suspension?

Would like to see this XI and formation played vs Jets, depending on; Kisnorbo is still injured, Hughes is fit, Wilkinson is signed in time (and fit).

I believe Melling played well as CB against Western Sydney, even though we were molested on every counter due to JVS's tactics, and should remain there for this game.

Even though we continually get scored against playing a 3-5-2, we should still play this formation against the Jets (Fornaroli has scored more then their whole team combined and we kept our only clean sheet against them)

If Hughes, Kisnorbo and Wilkinson are unavailable then we should go back to the 4-3-3, but knowing JVS he will stay with the 3-5-2 and we will only win 3-2 against a team that shouldn't even come close to beating us.

Does Sorensen play for another club? What's that red emblem beside his name?

They just need to survive this week and then it gets pushed out to 8 yellows before you miss a week...

Still walking on a tight rope for my liking. El-Tuna and Harry get fouled week in week out. Hope they don't lose it and smack someone in their face..
