Means he can pretty much select what he thinks is his best team and formation for this game. And we'll see what he's wanting to do. Players surely will be up for this, they will want to make sure they are in his plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Despite knowing better, I'm strangely optimistic about this and think we are on the verge of turning our season around. Colazo and Fornaroli to put on a show; bring on the post-JvS era Melbourne City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go 3-4-3 then bring Caceres in for Tongyik. Sorensen for Bouzanis a distinct possibility although i reckon Valk will keeo Bouzanis in. Pretty confident we'll brain them this week tbh. 2 or 3 nil with our best performance since the first derby. Touch wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of our decision-making has been truly terrible. Not really. Clisby and Melling's contracts were immediately bought out by WSW and Chapman and Retre have both played roles this year, despite both presumably being paid low wages.

Defibrillator Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Sorensen Franjic. Jakobsen Tongyik Muscat Malik Kilkenny Bruno. Brattan. Colazo Cahill I'm a Gooner after all - 4-2-3-1 in my blood. Cahill and Bruno to float and swap positions and Kamau first cab off the rank if we need more speed. More defensive than above but I'm sick of gifting goals to the opposition. Time to tighten up at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
