NewConvert Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I watched the Matildas beat the Philippines 8-0 so I missed the first half. The second half City played liked the Philippines. What on earth did somebody see in Ugarkovic and the new visa players? Message to the club, Adelaide played plenty of talented youth yet the club recruited ageing players? And Rado? well GTFO now.

Nate Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Turned it off after the third, can't believe we conceded another 3 lol. Horrendous game style and way too much player turnover to account for I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofhearts Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Ugarkovic has been the most disappointing this club has had for a while I tell you what.

neio Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) The most disappointing thing is the 10 minutes it went from 3 to 6. We just folded like a deck of cards, that's nothing to do with talent or even game plan that's a group of players who decided it was a bit tough to fight out the 90. Talbot is a shadow of where he was 12 months ago, Reis is a much better CB than RB but still he isn't up to starting, Souprayen was ok tonight but you can't tell me there isn't a 28 year old who can do the exact same job, Ugarkovic has been a flat out fail so far, Sakhi is just a meh player, Jakolis tries but lacks consistent quality, Antonis is only a solid back up, Lopane isn't a winger. That leaves about 3 players in Young, Behich and Maclaren from tonight that I'm completely happy to start every week in their position that they played. The squad build is not great, and we don't have the kids this season to support and supplement any weakness we have. It's going to be a long season Edited October 29, 2023 by neio 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Probably the worst performance from a City men's team for 4 or 5 years. The scoreline flattered us. Positives: I was watching the Matildas on another screen It was only a 90 minute game. Negatives: We were still on the plane back from Thailand: no intensity, no plan, no movement, no pressing, no ball control, 20 minutes before we even had a shot on goal. If I saw one more back pass I was going to scream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citypool Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I said I'm preseason young isn't the answer bloke is on the verge of retirement. UGA and Antonis are just journey men not the kind of guys you should aim for to win titles. Then the others aren't Worth mentioning especially old mate who dives twice in a week.

jw1739 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 That's what I thought. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Melbourne_City_FC_records_and_statistics today was our worst ever defeat. So FFS people stop making excuses. I'm not saying it can't get better but let's be honest. The club needs to be honest too. You can't solve a problem until you actually admit that you've got one.

playmaker Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Yeah let's blame Rado for CFG raping the MC team of Floran, Van der ven, O'Neil, Barisha, Jordan and Tulio. Why MC is rubbish is in plain sight. Ange couldn't even manage this disaster of a list. Doesn't matter if they play 4 high on an attack if there is no supply, doesn't matter how good the defenders are if there is no supply cut off. Jamie standing there waiting for supply, there is none as it was taken away with a stroke of a pen. Antonis and Ugarkovic are seasoned players from a defensive counter mindset and not a high press possession game and might not fit in at all. The mid field is where the game is won and MC has none. Let's see what happens when Arslan and Leckie are on the pitch but until then don't expect much from this list.

Our For-Against is 1-8, the last few seasons it was almost the opposite; as you've identified, our problem is in all three lines, and all we can successfully manage are low-pressure/low-value possession passes. Half our passes last night were back passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
