belaguttman Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Irunkunda always scores against us, no matter how long he's on the pitch; we'd have to score 2 to win it. My prediction is another loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Hack Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Looks like Schreiber is back fit as included in squad. As has Durakovic and Shillington. Hall looks like he'll play again as Souprayen has a groin issue. Might be good to give some of these kids a run for a change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 (edited) Goodness me. That's not an impressive line-up. Nabbout still not a starter? I see the women got done 3-1 as well. Edited January 25 by jw1739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 (edited) That was a disappointing half, despite the lead at half time. Three good chances in the first 15 minutes, squandered, then, after scoring, we lost all momentum with aimless passing, misplaced final passes, and then really riding our luck in defence. Adelaide looked like scoring every time they came forward. Young has been our best player and has kept us from a repeat scoreline of the last game. If only we had one player that was as direct as Irankunda. JMac is getting next to no service Natel has too many touches.

belaguttman Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 (edited) We won. Sad times when we start defending a 1-0 lead in a home game at 60 minutes. I guess its a reflection of where we are at at the moment. Positives: We won Jamie Young kept us in the game Negatives: JMac invisible with next to no service, why wasn’t Caputo brought on? Natel takes too long to control and shoot Edited January 25 by belaguttman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewConvert Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I am a little more positive. I am a big critic of Talbot but he managed to neutralise Irankunda most of the time and when he was caught out, Antonis, Mazzeo and others made sure he didn't have much of an impact although Irankunda could have equalised but uncharacteristically he fluffed it. Jordon Hall started again and although not spectacular he was solid in defence and stopped a certain goal; between Reis and Hall is hard to pick as Reis does provide forward drive which Hall does not appear to do but Hall has more speed, probably start Hall and have Reis come off the bench in the second half. Galloway had a much more improved game on the left which is not his natural position. I asked that Antonis start and he definitely delivered. Natel had a much more improved attitude, and he can win the ball in the middle and drive forward but its his last kick into the box that lets him down. Young had a good game as well. Need more from Ugarcovic, still not convinced by Lopane. Mazzeo was a nuisance like a mosquito in the night but I don't think he was much of a threat. On another note I was surprised that AU had not selected Popovic (who I rate) but then the commentators said that he might be off to South Korea. AU have a nice production line of youth development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cremorne Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Keep playing Hall until he makes a bunch of errors. If he's younger and faster, then he should keep the spot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always both; all strikers have their strengths and weaknesses, JMac is a great finisher, and great at finding space, give him the right ball and he's likely to score. He's not as effective away from the box, not one for imposing himself on games. He's a team striker, not an individual striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually did get some opportunities yesterday with excellent through balls from Arslan but was outmuscled or couldn’t control the ball.
