Tangerine Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Best result would be to get Wellington again. Adelaide and Central Coast are both in good form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On current form and given that any full strength opposition in recent weeks just plays straight through our midfield , this final series is going to be challenging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Yes, I fear we could easily go out in the semis. But then I thought that last year and we went to the 'neutral' venue close to Macarthur's home and got the job done. To all intents and purposes an away tie. Don't know whether the home and away format helps us or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewConvert Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Not very optimistic. Not so much about the players or opposition but I think that all the other coaches have outcoached PK. And yes we did beat WP but that was because of an OG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted May 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 If the club and CFG hierarchy haven't looked beyond the actual results of the league season and seen PK's limitations then they are fools. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imtellingyou Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 One could say , just win every match and no worries. This draw sucks for us. If paper favourites and home teams go through, then we will play Adelaide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed! Players look sick of the micro managing in game. Team selection has been questionable to say the least. Players not being rewarded after good performances but instead being benched for PKs favourites. Those ACL games were hugely disappointing the way PK managed them. Not making any changes in 38 degree heat when we are clearly out on our feet. It's ridiculous. Flo and O'Neil being injured reflects on him imo 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 This is borderline crazy. We have just won the League, we have just won back to back titles and some are seriously suggesting we sack the coach. I get he has limitations but come on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a big percentage of the population in Glasgow, Celtic finishing second in the league is indeed worse than being relegated in the Faroe Islands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how toxic I want the forum to become. When you play in a league that is won by only 2 teams and Celtic being one of them then I can kind of understand the expectations. However we are playing in the A League though and it's a lot more competitive and rarely do teams completely run away with it. Sure we aren't perfect but we should enjoy these moments for now, of course until we bottle it in the finals.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand how he behaves on the sidelines. Screaming at the players like they're kids, or whistling at them like they're dogs on command. He's awful. And that's not even starting on his player management. But you're right. He's on the precipice of achieving what no other team has done and win back to back premiership/championship doubles. In a league like this, why on earth would owners want to get rid of him if he achieves that. Unless he bangs the sheik's wife, he ain't going anywhere.

Baka1 Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 There was less toxicity on this forum when Heart finished bottom 2 back-to-back. Never change fellas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 I just dont see how PK can be moved on. However, taking a lesson from Sydney I beleive if we don't refresh the squad with new players we're destined to fail at some point. Sydney have a number of excellent players but I think they've simply gone stale. Same coach, same ageing players, same tactics. Hoping PK can give the squad a boost with a few excellent signings in the off season. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the main reason why some want to see PK moved on is because the evidence suggests that there won't be a change in tactics or his preferred team selection whoever we sign to replace any departures. It's a mistake to look only at results. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imtellingyou Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 The only possible treat to PK position is coming with this weekend matches. If WU wins that opens the door to possible semis matches where our squad quality only may not be enough. He could be outsmarted. Overall it's a just tiny possibility.

Nate Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Yeah, I 100% wanna face Central Coast - especially as we have to play an away fixture and I'm not keen on Adelaide at all. As for that Western v Nix game, that Young save was the best I've ever seen in the A-League. Hopefully he and Western can perform a miracle and topple Victory in the semi.

Yep agree, Adelaide have become a bit of a bogey team and we don't have much luck playing in Adelaide. That save was ridiculous! Lightning reaction time to make that save. Absolute clutch save! Would love to see Victory taken down by the United homeless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
