We were still fairly sterile in the first half, but once we started to actually attack the Perth goal we looked a lot better. Tilio easily our most attacking player, and IMO Van Der Venne had a very good first full match in a City shirt. JMac and Leckie both not quite sharp enough today, question mark over Berisha and Nabbout did nothing when he came on. Defence solid but but IMO Talbot will be giving way to Galloway soon. Crowd a little disappointing perhaps, but Perth have never been a good drawcard at AAMI and being the last day of the Cup Festival didn't help. Overall though really good to see City getting four and keeping a clean sheet as well. We only got 3k less then the wanderers so we’re staying with the other team’s average. I’d like the club to show more ambition though we’re a top team on the pitch so we need to be strong off as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought VDV was excellent. Ran his arse off all night and really harrassed the opposition at every opportunity. Showed great nous and touch too and was unlucky to hit the post twice in a minute and not score as he was the one still making those runs at the end. Great effort considering his preseason was interrupted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 It’s such a weapon to be able to put Leckie in AM, things just happen with him there. Do we think he’s got the engine to play there full time an apply the same level of pressure Luna and now Berisha are doing? 53 minutes ago, rass said: Totally agree with this.

It'll be interesting to see how we accommodate Leckie, VDV, Berisha and Florin in midfield, Leckie, Tilio, Maclaren and Nabbout up front and still find opportunities to play Oresti and Caputo. It's a good problem to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
