fensaddler Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 We really didn't play badly overall. Didn't get much luck and definitely got stiffed with a lot of refereeing decisions. Defence is our issue, and that was obvious in preseason looking at our list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewConvert Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 I turned the game just as Arslan has been taken off injured. I have to say that apart from Arslan and Davila, the other visa players have bee underwhelming. Natel plays like he doesn't want to be here. Reis was OK just slow. And I remain unconvinced by Ugarcovic. Can't believe he has played over 100 A-League games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what's the bet Galloway gets dropped next game? Perhaps it is just me but I didn't see anything different in those last 10 minutes. Soups header went wide and fell on JMACs hip and finally a Macurther player stuck out out a leg. Seen the same patern most the game except for the first 10 minutes for the second half. Dominant, created heaps until that final ball, second ball never fell for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recall at least 5 times, in a straight line. It was like we parted the red sea for them to come straight through. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofhearts Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 We have looked better but fmd we are still shit defensively. We won't be going anywhere unfortunately until we fix that up. It doesn't help that all of our cbs or 30 plus. Our team is crying out for some decent youth players, surely we have a decent young cb or two? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like our biggest issue this season is our CB's. As has been pointed out they are both over 30 and can't run down an opponent even if they tried.. It's so frustrating to watch. Nuno certainly ain't the Nuno from a couple of seasons back.. Galloway at the back makes a massive difference though!! Surely going forward you have to play Behich - Reis - Good - Galloway. Have Talbot and Souprayan on the bench. I would even give Antonis a start over Jakolis. Never thought I'd say these words but Antonis actually looks half decent so far both in the league and when he has played in the ACL. Jakolis is absolutely terrible IMO. Be curious to see if he drops out the squad when Leckie comes back. I for one hope he does!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 I find the Jakolis comments unwarranted. I didn't rate him at all the first couple of games I saw him either. But since then, of all our attacking players he has been one of the most effective. Natel, Lopane and even Jamie for most of the games have been average majority of the time. He's been the one outlet that actually runs at defenders and has assisted many goals so far this season. Maybe it's some of his theatrics earlier on which make people not rate him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 I think that Jakolis timing is slightly off. Hence the offside calls and the kicking of the ball into opposition players. Otherwise he does a lot of positive things. Assuming that Leckie or Nabbout make a come back this season I am not sure where you would fit him.

Assuming that Leckie or Nabbout make a come back this season I am not sure where you would fit him. Nabbout is out for the season and I suspect he has played his last game for us. Last I read on Leckie is that he has suffered a "setback." I wouldn't count on him being fully fit for a while. I still feel that our main problem is lack of forward movement and lack of ball speed rather than ability of players. However, agree that both Natel and Jakolis have been frustrating so far. Personally I can't stand Jakolis' simulations and that doesn't help. There's a reason why these players' clubs let them come to us and we're seeing those reasons. Galloway was a revelation and I can't think why he hasn't been a starter for so long. I'd also like to see Antonis start. He had the balls to take that penalty, and overall he's played pretty well while he's been on the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing of the run and the speed of the assisting player to deliver the ball on time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't help, either, when JMac is relatively short so anything in the air has to be right on the button for him to score. Natel is also a problem because he's not exactly an industrious player - nothing like Tilio last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natel had a good 10 min period then was taken off but decide that has been average at best. He has the Brazilian style but without the end product. Without that you have to at least put in the work to make up for it. I'm not sure if he has it in him to do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka1 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Natel is the City-era Maycon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 I think one of our main problems is that we have too many players who are ok but nothing more. Young, Reis, Souprayen, Talbot, Sakhi, Ugarkovic, Natel, Lopane, Antonis, Jakolis are all at a capable aleague level but they lack the killer punch or star quality that you need from your best players in this league. To get anything out of this season we are going to rely so heavily on Arslan and Leckie to create and Maclaren to score, while it will work in some games it's not sustainable without getting regular better contributions from everyone else. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
