haz Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 @Embee Talking City should try to get a journalist in as a guest to talk about the media's perception of the men's team.

Hardware Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Hi, Listen to the last podcast. I totally disagree with the dire predictions of 'we'll finish 5th', 'Perth and Brisbane are better than us', ect on the latest podcast. The first half against Sydney, a part from Muscat's red, we were all over them, high pressing attacking football. It has to be said, Sydney's first goal was poor defending by Malik and Muscat, but we had the run of play and we were dominating the league dominating top side, and the Fitzie goal was the perfect reply to balance the game, and help the score at the time, represent what was happening on the pitch. That first half, couple with the fact we had a 5 1 away romp over Wellington, a youthful gutsy draw against Roar, a hard done by but spirited derby against Victory where we were, for the most part, the dominant side, we have a lot to look forward to if we take this form and effort to the rest of our games toward the finals.

We lost mate. I'm with you in the positive stakes but ifs and could ofs mean zero. Score at the end is what really matters. If we drop points against Mariners 5th is looking pretty much a certainty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's a lack of ambition. There is an acceptance of mediocrity in all levels of performance at City, whether on the field or off it, that just doesn't match the ambition. Some very poor decisions have been made in Manchester and by the Board of Melbourne City, notably retaining people in key positions at CFA Melbourne, and mediocre officers inevitably lead to mediocre troops. We were warned by the handful of Manchester City fans on this Forum that change would be more of a slow burn than an inferno, but it's certainly taking its time in coming. FFA haven't helped, thwarting some of CFG's plans on bringing players to Melbourne, but I lay most of the blame at CFG's feet for poor decision-making on key management positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haz Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 @Embee@thisphantomfortress Ever had any thought into taking Talking City from a audio podcast to a YouTube channel similar to Blue Moon Rising, Arsenal Fan TV, Full Time Devils etc. I know that Talking City currently has a channel where the post-game fan interviews are posted, but it would be good to see in the future a type of "couch talk" where highlights, pictures, press conference snippets, and dank memes are shown? Of course though this would require more time and resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardware Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Finally got around to listening to the pod boys. Good chat with Matt Windley. With regards to the possession issue, I feel our problem definitely is a mentality centric problem, we are most dangerous when we run at opposition teams with the ball. I find our players become quite static when receiving and holding the ball without moving with it, and looking for other player to move into positions to receive which most of the time are quite predictable for oppositions to read, (Luke Brattan is a huge perpetrator if you watch him, gets the ball, stays where he is and holds it under his foot and awaits to see what runs from others are made around him, usually two others players making predictable runs to space, for a triangle setup). I still think our biggest problem which hasn't been touched on is our defense, and to a large extent the transition from defense to attack (playing it from the back). We are last in the league for tackles, and last in the league for clearances, they're the facts. Bozanis I feel is another part of why our defense hasn't been up to scratch, I think Sorensen is the man to have in goals (he's much more of a leader in goals based on watching from the sidelines, and his wealth of experience I believe should have automatically given him more of a two game chance at the start of the season before being dropped). Vukovic is a pivotal player for Sydney, and clean sheets are why they are on top. Melbourne wins lies with their defense achieving clean sheets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robust differing opinions and well argued points. For the record if Sorensen doesn't play the rest of the season I'll take the bat to Valkanis myself.
