3 Points Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 So its taken Wazza 68min to match JVS 8-0 demolition of Oakleigh. Just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belaguttman Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 With all respect to Oakleigh, this sort of game tells us very little and does little to prepare the team for a new A League season. Hopefully the rest of the pre-season is a little more ambitious. Heart pre-seasons used to consist of games that smashed NPL teams but really ill-prepared the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember under "John Lee Hooker" (mr lucky) we struggled to win games like this 1-0. Having said that i would be interested to know if Oakley are playing their best side.

Jovan Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Rule 1. Ignore all pre season games. Fitness and movement is more important. But winning is always good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AlexDaGroza Posted July 18, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Some points from the game today: The fact that we played almost a full strength XI really impressed me. Alot of pre season games we seem to field lots of trialists and younger players and to see Wazza field such a strong team I feel shows that he means buisness. Additionally the fact that he made his subs so late in the game, i think players are really going to have to work hard for minutes. Really liked how vocal Warren Joyce was throughout. Could hear him getting angry when players tried to do too much. "Stop showboating" directed to Luke Brattan was a highlight. Was barking instructions to players the whole game. Jakobsen with the arm band a solid choice. Extremely vocal on the pitch. Massive positive. Hope he keeps the arm band for the season. Bruno scored 5, and assisted a few. Was a lot less selfish then from last season. Did miss a few easy chances and got annoyed with himself which i liked to see him wanting more from himself. Jamo got forward well i think. Felt at times was missing the final ball however. Solid not spectacular. Hopefully just pre season rust. Genreau was very positive and watching him was a highlight for me. Looked very dangerous when taking players on and running on to balls. Souvas 10/10. Need some heart burn tablets now though. Too much garlic and onion gets me every time. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart of oakleigh Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Wazza didnt stop barking instructions for 90 minutes and was constantly ordering the players to work harder. Such a pleasant change from van schip & valkanis. Oakleigh had 6 regular starters in the first half and then a youth team for second half. I thought city played a high tempo game and always looked to create chances. Wazza's game style didnt come across as negative or defensive. The souvs are always good at oakleigh and will be just as good at bentleigh greens next tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffplz Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I think this game was an example of high possession done well, upon every Oakleigh kick-off the order would be for everyone to win the ball back as soon as possible. Obviously it'll be harder against A-league opponents but I started counting every time they had a kickoff and we literally won it back within 5 seconds every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was crazy the desire they showed to win the ball from the kick off. Special mention to Oakleighs 2nd keeper, sign him up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
