Harrison Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 I just knew this would happen. We dominate the second half but can’t convert any chances. Then we cop a scrappy goal and lose. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were fed with quality balls all night. They are both shit. I'm not going to call Maclaren shit, but I've said from the start that he's not of marquee standard. He doesn't have the height to be a real threat in the air, and he doesn't have the lower body strength (as Bruno had) to hold the ball up and feed it to a teammate. We now have him for the next three seasons occupying a marquee space that he doesn't deserve. Unfortunately, I think we have ended up on the ladder in just the position that we deserve. We are simply not good enough when the pressure is on. We have had that problem right from the start, and Joyce has not managed to change that. I can only hope that tonight's result will be the final nail in his coffin. He's had every chance, and has not delivered. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belaguttman Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) A well-deserved result. Positives: We scored Good game from McGee played in his best position Surely Joyce is gone now Negatives: The result Dominate possession, but with no creativity, a predictable and ponderous attack that commits too few players forward and a high defensive line, we looked like we could concede with every single Nix attack MacLaren wasted in a game plan where he's marginalised de Laet wasted at CB Edited April 21, 2019 by belaguttman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymad Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 so Najjarine ahead wales????? wales would have been way more threatening if we had swithched harrison to the left to run at their inexperienced RB - and lachie with fresh legs to threaten their tired LB. seems straight forward to me. and i know nothing tactically, really. i agree that Maclaren is not marquee worthy, but if you cross a ball into someone who is 5'7...... make it on the ground. Also get Atkinson off. Brattan needs to be on the ball higher up the park to continue to create opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imtellingyou Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Unlucky. We dominated the game. Having dead wood marquee striker didn't help either. Overall, not bad outcome for fans as Melbourne game is looming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Maclaren’s record is 56 from 98. I think some of you are too hard to please. That record hasn’t been beaten by too many players. As with most things in football, it’s the way you play. We’ve got a gun striker...let’s use him properly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we go his goal ratio, he failed to score in the lower leagues of Europe hence why he is back. Maybe watch the game again, plenty of opportunities for him good changes and poacher changes.

Jamie will be very useful but FFS we need better players around him, Marquee money for a winger or a 10 please. If the rumours are true that we might up with Bart and Jamie as marquees. I actually liked how Baccus come on, full of energy and much better forward play than old hack Royston.

Exactly, that midfield or surrounding forwards need to be marquee level to feed the Mac. Here is why might defer in opinions - a marquee player shouldn't rely too much on the players around him, he makes these players play better (Honda, Ninkovic, Castro etc....). In Jamie's case being a marquee, he requires somebody from a higher level to feed him quality balls. I would be very worried having only Jamie and another defender as a marquee, second half of the season shows exactly why.

playmaker Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 JMac and Harrison had more than enough quality balls given to them to score. No excuses, they were both crap. Florin, RoboCop, Mcgree and Brattan gave more than enough service after either beating opposition players, drawing players to create space or both. We lost because our scorers didn't score and not because of Joyce Ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be the marquee player who makes the difference. Not the other way around. It's interesting that in his high-scoring days with Brisbane, Aloisi was his manager, and Thomas Broich was one of Brisbane's two marquee players.
