jeffplz Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I think he took it seriously, but tried saving his entire career by going against all odds and trying to win a trophy with a purely youth team. Would've been a fairy tale story-- if it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzgerald I think you're close. Think I might swap sides with Brandan and Caceres. If we can't win with that team then we don't deserve to but you can see that for the A-League season we need to fill the remaining spots with quality.

Would've been a fairy tale story-- if it worked. He played 2 centre backs that couldn't head the ball & also dropped the best heading midfielder, against a side known for using the air to score. He had Kisnorbo on the bench but didn't bring him on even though Perth got free header after free header on the 6 yard box. If he was serious, then that is scary.

Indeed, never underestimate an apparently lesser opponent in a cup competition. Every league club in the UK has experience of going out to lower league or non-league adversaries, and every smaller club retells for generations it's giant killing victories over bigger clubs, and even the near misses.

Murfy1 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Fair play, the starting lineup looks spot on. Our strongest lineup (assuming Fernando isn't 100% match fit [which looked the case with his debut]). Really keen to see how Kamau goes. I reckon he's gonna quickly become one of our standout players. Big chances for Caceres and Retre to show they deserve gametime in midfield. Competition will be fierce for the midfield spots this season, so they'll both have to step up. I want to see how Arzani goes off the bench as well, as I'm not sure how much of a killer pass Retre and Caceres have, and I have an inkling that Arzani is a real creative player who could have quality passing in his game. Time to shine. As long as the players perform their roles, I reckon Fornaroli will be clinical and we'll get a good outcome. However, the players better be in top gear, because I think Western Australia is our least successful state with regards to away games, so this match is a potential bananaskin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality is ok, certainly a lot better than most free streaming sites but would be great if you could get into the normal HD service. Just a pity you can't record. Hope that helps. Don't want to sound like I'm recommending Foxtel as an upstanding service (given the usual package price I see them as rip offs).
