Fredinho69 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 What a night! Manny Muscat my man of the match also he didn't put a foot wrong but tbh most of the boys put in good shifts. Kilkenny and Brattan are fantastic to watch. Their anticipation and ball movement is probably the best we've ever had at the club. Yes Mooy was great however he didn't have someone next to him who was just as good. Ceebs going into detail I'm to excited to write it all down. GO YOU CITY BOYS Also wtf happened in the mcg carpark right beneath the bridge? Cops looked like they just let it happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecguymer Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I still reckon tard #21 should have been carded in the 11th minute. He had plenty of time to avoid colliding and in no way needed both arms spread out like that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 IMO our best ever win. So often we've crumbled when we needed to win, but not tonight. Ground out the win in true cup-tie fashion. We were grand both on the field and in the stands - a lot of City blue and white there tonight and great singing and chanting led by Melburnians. Thought the team were sensational - going to be hard to pick a MOTM - with Kilkenny, Brattan and Fernando absolutely outstanding. Wonderful night all round! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofhearts Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 A big shout out to Manny Muscat, I can't find his thread, but he's everything rose should be, a mature player who isn't a shit cunt. He also fills the roll of being the team cunt perfectly ever since melling left. Well played son 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiro Kompiro Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Kilkeny the stand out. Brattan Mr consistent. The Dane was solid. Caceras loses more 50-50 balls then he wins. Fornaroli battled hard doesn't need to do as much a he thinks he does though Cahill AWOL. The swamp rat is always a danger. Love his passion Not happy with either full back or the back 3 experiment- we rode our luck and if Berisha doesn't miss an open goal could have been different game. They hacked us to pieces so wel done to getting over that or a good win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all our deficiencies we still won and beat the Tards. The tide has turned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rass Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Not sure about Caceres. I think he's a good player when we're playing well and with others around him but not the one to take ownership of that starting #10 role. Even though Bruno was manhandled tonight, i thought he was a little isolated because Caceres didn't link well with him. So easy to see the difference when we have Colazo there in that role, even though it's only been a game or two. We're far more dangerous.

Watching Caceres I feel like he just doesn't have enough confidence in himself. He seems rather timid when going for the ball or choosing his options. He'll almost always pick the path of least resistance with the ball at his feet rather than the slightly riskier option that could result in a goal. He just seems to be missing that killer instict that a number 10 needs. Hopefully it's a confidence thing and will come with more game-time, he has age on his side 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewConvert Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 8 hours ago, belaguttman said: It was a real FFA Cup semi-final, intense, gritty but not pretty. We stood up tonight, on and off the pitch. The tide has turned this season, it's up to us to keep it like that. Positives: we won without pretty football, we won with intensity and determination for 95 minutes A clean sheet although Bouzanis gives me too many Redders moments. How distribution is good though, it really helps our attack. Kilkenny, Jakobsen and Muscat were very good, Rose didn't fuck up Franjic on the pitch ay last Brattan is an adequate replacement for Mooy although his role is different We won without our 2 most dynamic players, Colazo and Kamau Formation change by our genius coach Timmy v Muscunt and then Our Muscat clattering into their Muscunt on the sidelines Negatives: Too much rolling around from our Latin contingent No sausages I would disagree with that statement there was certainly some magic from Brattan, Caceres, Fitzgerald, Fornaroli. As an example, the passing in the box for a second goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to chuck that one back at them all day. Was arrogant before, now it's just wishful thinking on their part. Really felt the balance of power shift last night. On and off the pitch we were the big club. Their fans didn't turn up. Too many fair weather friends on their side. The force is with us.

Agree with others, I thought Muscat was superb, as was Kilkenny. After having an average first 45, I thought Fitzy was tremendous in that second half. His engine is unmatched in the league. Bratten is a true baller. Probably doesn't (yet) have the vision of Mooy, but his athleticism and passing range are phenomenal. Well played JVS, I thought he got his tactics spot on tonight. His engine is matched by Brandan!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
