belaguttman Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 I think that we have 11 Scott Morrison’s playing for us tonight. We are coached by Scott Morrison 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only been successful early on with an inherited squad and favourable league circumstances.

Bella Guttman’s three year rule Quote "The third year," the great Hungarian coach Bela Guttmann always said, "is fatal." If a manager stays at a club more than that, he said, his players tend to become bored and/or complacent and opponents start to work out counter-strategie Edited August 17, 2022 by belaguttman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon top 4 if the new recruits come in, we aren’t going to dominate as we should. We are too predictable, easy to play against, too many players go missing and most of the time we struggle to put three passes together in the forward half. Can see today as well why the club doesn’t think Gomulka is ready to step in for O’Neill. Edited August 17, 2022 by Mr MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Think we'll struggle to make the six at this rate. We are poor and getting worse. It's not a lack of decent players, though we could do with a few ins. It's how they are being used and coached.

Zanty Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 a little bit reactionary, even though its the australia cup its still pre season and only our 2nd game as whole so lets give the boys time especially with no VDV, Lam or O'Neill making appearances as of yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MH4EVER Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Maybe we struggle against A-League opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icantthinkofacoolname Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 For those interested I heard the crowd was 2,067. Of course the rain and limited cover + the fact it was on a footy oval didn't help but that figures nothing special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommykins Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Big oof watching the game last night. It is absolutely bonkers to me that we came out with that formation with those players. Leckie and Florin are both excellent players, but playing them on top of each other led to exactly the level of coherence that was always going to happen.

jw1739 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 The other two A-League clubs involved last night got home only after extra time and penalties - Adelaide United over Adelaide City, and Brisbane over Avondale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSeater Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Certainly not making excuses, as that performance was insipid at best, but why is it that we always seem to draw A-League opposition from the round of 16 onwards? Either way, quite concerning. Hopefully VDV and Lam can come in and provide some better structure and balance in the midfield from the get go, as we looked all over the place in the middle last night.

neio Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 Very much concerned, but by no means end of the world. Still 7 or so weeks until start of season. Hopefully we can get some proper pre season games going, not just playing WU 37 times against some other Aleague opponents to get us ready.

Torn Asunder Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 A shitty loss against a team that shouldn't be playing in the Australia Cup ... well that was no surprise!! However, if our new recruits, and best starting 11 doesn't lift our performances (despite the idiocy of our coach), then this game is a harbinger of our season to come. Two things summed it up for me. 1 - Galloway half heartily warming up in the 80th minute, and showing zero interest or effort as he knew that he was not coming on, even though the game called for some fresh legs 2 - in the 4th minute of stoppage time, with the wind at our backs, we had free kick just back from the 1/2 way line ... rather than getting everyone forward for one last set piece attack via a long ball, the ball is meekly passed into midfield, then return passed back to the free kick taker ... then whistle blows ... What the actual fucking fuck? We really are that dumb as a team in not being able to recognise that sometime a Plan B is needed!

Leckie and Florin are both excellent players, but playing them on top of each other led to exactly the level of coherence that was always going to happen. At first and last season I thought Leckie could be suited to play in an AM role, he’s played there a couple of times now in the CL as well. Something isn’t right with his ball control and vision to play there. Takes a second too long with ball control, stumbles, doesn’t have ability to quickly turn away. It’s such a difficult position to play. Just like JMAC he’s more a direct player and that’s causing us issues when we need to play in congested territory. In short I rather see Leckie on the wing or up front, I’m surprised we’ve never tried him to replace JMAC at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Couldn't watch the game but I saw the snippet of Barbarouses goal. What a calamity of errors...could have been a scene in a comedy sitcom than a professional football club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
