belaguttman Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Just now, jeffplz said: I think with our new reinforced defense and example of slacking from the last game we played against Phoenix our boys will understand not to put in a shit performance this game. We've learnt enough, I reckon. except we'll lose our defensive reinforcement for this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biancorosso7 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I feel a formation change coming. Something unexpected, like a 4-2-1-3, with Bruno as the 1 in behind Novillo, Zullo and Fitzy wide. Then Malik and Caceras can sit in front of defence, Caceras more box to box.

kingofhearts Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Caceras and Chapman in for wilko and mooy respectively. Chuck clisby on the bench and we'll flog em (as long as the wind is not blowing a gale force) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[LIBBA] Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I think people are also underestimating how much of a difference Maik has made in that DM role. Has gotten better and better with every game and has made it a hell of a lot eairer for Wilko and Kisnobo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt50 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Less worried about the defence and more concerned with whether we'll have enough creative influence in midfield tbh. Caceras really needs to step up this week and show everyone why hes so highly rated. Still confident however, so im guessing 2-0. Think we'll go with : Sorensen Franjic Kisnorbo Chapman Garrucio Malik Fitzgerald. Zullo Caceras Novillo Fornaroli Bouzanis Hughes Melling Trifiro Marino 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfy1 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Kisnorbo taking it game by game Michael Thompson 23 March, 2016 Melbourne City captain Patrick Kisnorbo has praised the club for performing consistently throughout this season, with a potential tilt at their maiden minor premiership. The defender says the team shouldn’t get too hyped up on finishing in the top two, and should focus on the last three games of the regular season. “We are going through a good time at the moment, when it comes to working hard on and off,” Kisnorbo said. “We take it day by day, three more big games… we are doing what we are doing at the best of our ability.” City have a crucial clash on Easter Monday against Wellington Phoenix and it is a must win game for them to stay in touch with the league leading Western Sydney Wanderers. “We got to concentrate on what we have to do as a team week in week out, and it starts again this Monday night against Wellington,” he said. Kisnorbo says that Connor Chapman will slot back into the back four for City, with Alex Wilkinson currently out due to international duties. “He’s trained hard, its an opportunity for him, Alex has gone away with the national team, he’s (Chapman) been here for a while he knows how we play,” he said. Melbourne City will host the Wellington Phoenix at AAMI Park on Easter Monday with the game to kickoff at 7:30pm (AEDT). http://www.fourfourtwo.com/au/news/kisnorbo-taking-it-game-game#:Sw0yIUOVLlA9EA Sorensen warns against complacency Bill Molloy 23 March 2016 Melbourne City goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen has warned his side against any danger of complacency as it hosts ninth placed Wellington Phoenix on Monday. The last time the two sides met - just four weeks ago – City lost 2-1. Sorensen said his side should use that result as a reminder to remain focused on the task at hand. “It’s easy to play Melbourne Victory with 30,000 people. Nothing needs to be said whereas sometimes in other games it’s a little bit harder,” Sorensen said. “That’s where professionalism and making sure you do everything right, not taking anything for granted. As I said we lost 2-1 a couple of weeks ago so we’ve been warned. There’s no excuse for complacency.” Since that result, City has won its last three games, and the Danish shot-stopper has kept conceded just one goal. In the 21 rounds prior, City had managed just one clean sheet. “Things are starting to fall into place now,” he said. “We’ve got a good sense of how we want to play and our strengths so there’s a lot more calmness around the place and I think you can see that in the games.” The 39-year-old said that if the team had to adapt then they still would be able to. “I think we’ve got a good enough team to play our style and not adapt too much but in games there might be certain things you can explore,” he said. “It’s not bothering me and I’m sure as long as we win I’ll play whatever system.” http://www.fourfourtwo.com/au/news/sorensen-warns-against-complacency#:VaOzhTQ6qZA9EA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we don't even need that. 2 wins and a draw will see us on top of Wanderers, garunteed. The only way for Briabane to beat that is for them to win all three games so I'd like to believe they'll draw one of the next three games. And the bonus is they've got a desperate Sydney and Victree to play. We collect 7 of 9 points and we'll more than likely take it out. But yes I'd rather win all three.

Jovan Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Agree with all the previous posts. Next 3 games are massive and we have direct control of what may play out. We have only ourselves to blame. Now the team has truly progressed but I'm not sure we are capable of taking 9 points to win the League. It tooks us 4 attempts to get to top and we only stayed there for a matter of hours. We have a full squad (minus internationals) and full of confidence so we are in un chartered waters and whatever happens I'm going to enjoy it.
