We have no one to feed the ball unless it's caceres is on no AM to feed front free Bruce is a right winger but has no speed and no skills. I haven't played soccer for 5 years I'll do better than him. Mailk well....... I just wanted to know what the coachs thoughts are that he loves playing this same team Simo can't agree more! Be careful what you say about Cahil here, you can think it but not express it - I got burned for that lol. This league and team can't carry players like that, it is hard enough working to cover for the squad fillers like Rose, Malik etc.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heart_fan10 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 what the hell has happened to us? with all the quality we have in the squad we are not creating any chances and most of our goals are coming from penalties lately.

Popular Post GreenSeater Posted January 27, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 BOUZANIS - Can't blame him for the first goal as the defending was fucking shit, but that second goal he should have done much better with. ROSE - Fuck me dead. I've stuck up for this guy more times than I can count but he really is just absolute trash. As soon as Colazo moved to LB we looked 1000x better. MALIK - I have no words. One of the worst individual performances I have ever seen in a City jersey. Should never start ahead of Tongyik. JACOBSEN - The best of our miserable defence, but still not great. Played Nabbout on for the opener. FRANJIC - Has been in great form lately, but tonight he had a shocker. The first goal is entirely on him. Really really poor tonight. KILKENNY - Not his usual self tonight. Misplaced a lot of passes, got to the ball second a lot. Losing his mind at the ref over their second goal is just pissweak tbh, that shit happens, blame the awful defending. BRATTAN - Genuinely awful tonight. Worst game he's played for us so far. Just kills off any momentum we have by slowing the play down way too much. His set pieces tonight were terrible as well. KAMAU - Another poor performance. At the end of the day, Bruce is a young kid. His confidence is down and he looks scared to do anything other than run full pelt to the line and then pass backwards. Needs a spell on the pine to get his head sorted. Fitzgerald must start next week. COLAZO - Why this guy keeps being played on the wing is beyond me. He's a bloody good player, but we looked so much better with him at LB and he looked a lot more comfortable there. Should play LB and start Brandan next week. CAHILL - Very poor tonight. As I mentioned the other week when I was defending him, he's not a playmaker. He's a poacher. He needs good service to score goals because that's all he offers. Tonight he got poor service, and therefore played poorly. The amount of times he was playing as a number 10 and Fornaroli was the striker trying to win headers was a joke. Play the players to their bloody strengths! FORNAROLI - Looks totally lost. Can't blame him. When he plays deep, he looses his back to goal magic. When he plays up top we refuse to play it to his feet. I don't know if that's tactical or just stupidity from the players but it's not good enough. Feel sorry for him because he's clearly frustrated at the system. BRANDAN - How the fuck is this guy not starting? He is a mile ahead of Kamau and Colazo (when he plays as a winger) and yet he can't get a look in! Adds the flair we desperately need. Has to start. CACERES - Probably our best player tonight. I'm usually not a huge fan of Caceres but as soon as he came on tonight he actually played like a number 10 and pulled the strings. I don't think he's ready to start, but maybe should be brought on earlier. FITZGERALD - In 10 minutes he did more than Kamau did in 80. That says it all. This guy actually wants to attack the defenders and wants to score. Must start next week. Overall a fucking shit night. Changes need to be made or we'll get fucked by Victory 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Seriously, in the end they're not going to listen to us unless they lose face or money. It'll need the sort of mass fan protest we saw last year, people walking out or not turning up, people making it clear they're not renewing unless things change, for CFG to sit up and take notice. We need to do something orchestrated at the Brisbane game. Banners, chants, walk outs, backs to the game, silence, something to make the point to these thick skulled functionaries. IMHO, it's going to have to be active that leads this, but I'm happy to join in once I know what needs doing. Had enough now, they're taking the piss and treating us all like fools.

japiedog Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Nadal v Dimitrov was pretty good.... I spent more time flicking over to that than watching our "performance" to say that I am disappointed is an understatement In the old days of Heart when we didn't win for 200 matches or so, I could live with it. We had shite ownership, shite facilities, shite management and average players We now have the best funded club, best facilities, the best squad we have ever had , shite management we are playing a brand of football that was found out in the third week of the season, and nothing changes Every team knows how to stop us I hate going to Eithad , so I'm not going to the Derby, fuck knows if I'm going to the Brisbane match the following week Edited January 28, 2017 by japiedog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Get a few things of my chest. Selections are poor, but actually they aren't our main problem- that's pedestrian ball movement or more simply no plan on how to actually score goals. As for travel? Fuck me I thought we were a professional outfit? Plan to arrive with plenty of time to spare. If it still goes pear shape adjust your team selections. It's not rocket science. Selections? Our squad is not so wonderful that we can have 2 of the best players in the league on the bench. It's insanity. We persist in playing Colazo as a left winger, presumably because he's a left footer, but he plays "Dutch style", cutting in so the crosses come from the left back. Really he plays in a manner better suited to the right wing. To top it off this means one of our squaddies is a permanent starter instead of just a back up like he should be. Our disinterest in recruiting 2 starting central defenders to replace Wilkinson and Kisnorbo is now starting to bite. We have no one to play next to Jacobsen as Malik is well short of the mark. "The kid" (Tongyik, hope he at least sat next to Tommy on the bench and peppered him with questions about positioning) is at least likely to improve or we could fall back on the experienced and versatile Muscat who was good earlier in the season. Surely blind Freddie can see that Cahill is no longer an elite midfielder? Needs to either play up front or off the bench, where he would be a weapon. Oh @Dylan pretty sure all this has been caused by abandoning our red and white stripes! Edited January 28, 2017 by Shahanga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF33 Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 We can't score from anything, besides penalties (and we're only going at 66.6% conversion there, by my count), set pieces (about one in ten resulting in a shot on target) and freak/fluke opportunities (e.g. Franjic against the Wanderers). You know what the funny thing is? When I was taking a look back at our recent goals, Kamau (despite being in undeniably woeful form) has been responsible for more than his share of goals that have actually been generated through the exciting build-ups and exquisite passing that people still seem to give us undue credit for. So maybe that's why they're keeping him around. We have a good team on paper and surely someone will have to figure out sooner or later that these laborious build-ups and possession-dominance wankfests have killed our season and will probably end a few careers. Until then, 66% of Fornaroli's spot kicks and the occasional Cahill magic that should form the icing on the cake of our scores will be all we have to look forward to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defibrillator Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 17 hours ago, Mr MO said: A number ten or attacking midfielder who actually can control, hold and turn will help. We've got nobody who can do that. We do have them - he just won't play them with our structure. Brattan could play that role, Caceras or even Brandan would play well there. You are so spot on - no link play in midfield and we look like a shit team rolling the ball from one side of the park to the other with no effect.

n i k o Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Craig Foster gave a good post match analysis on the game if anyone gets a chance to listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Valkanis is basically JVS mouth piece, or CFGs mouthpiece. Like playmaker said you can't expect to have 100% possession. You will lose the ball. The other thing as Craig Foster said was that Valkanis keeps talking about number of balls in the box and converting those opportunities. But like he said if you have 8 defenders in the box then you can put as many balls in the box, it will be defended more often than not. As opposed to the Jets who got the ball in the box only a few times but had only Bouzanis to beat. Valkanis also asked about not choosing a well performing player like Tongyik and instead playing Malik. He was asked why Malik was played out of position however Valkanis was adamant that Malik natural position is in the number 6 or central defence. Anyway the point is he dodged the question and didn't provide a good reason why Tongyik wasn't chosen. So we have Rose who is probably the most average player on the team starting every time. We have Colazo who would be better in left back but refuse to play him there. This in turn puts our visa player in Fernando on the bench. We have a visa keeper who is far superior on the bench. And we have the best performing player for the month in Tongyik being dropped for two games in a row directly after winning this award!!!! It truly boggles the mind. Unforgivable decisions made over and over. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playmaker Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Although the Jets have been trying to establish a possession-first approach this season, Newcastle were happy to remain compact at the back in Coffs Harbour as Andrew Nabbout's brace proved the difference on Friday night. "We knew on the counter we could hurt them," Jones told Fox Sports. "We knew if we sat they would over-commit and we thought we could pick them off and score two or three goals. It's worked out that way. So can someone translate this for me because I am not quite sure what he is saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
