NewConvert Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 He was the x factor. Personally he deserves the 3 votes. He was involved in every goal. Maybe his best impact is from the bench. Agree that he may be best coming off the bench as the impact player. Too expensive for that. Silly me. Lets pick our starting 11 based on wages. What are Sydney doing with Smeltz???? Arnie has no idea! I suspect that if we ever found out the player's salaries the forum would go into meltdown! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold does play with two up front in a 442 so Smeltz will start. And Willo is no Smeltz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeming Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Amazing off the bench - I don't think he has the fitness to last more than 30 minutes. I'd rather him by 20-30 minutes at 110% than 90 minutes at ~70% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different kind of player. On the question of salary, we don't know whether the contract has clauses about the amount of minutes played, assists and goals scored. As an example, Cahill is said to be on $10M/season but that can only be reached if he hits all of his incentive payments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attack11 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I've lost patience with Wilo, He was one of my favourite players but over the years his performances have been shocking... How can a player score 12 goals last season and this season I think he has 2 goals to his name.. I agree, I think he needs to go.. One good performance in 20 games is no where near good enough.. JVS might think otherwise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know a 'big' manager is what we need. I think we need a manager with a clear strategic view who can pass those ideas onto players with clear and concise instructions. If that happens to be a big name great if not I'm fine with that too. I think we need a guy similar to Brendan Rogers or Koeman who aim to play the game the right way. I suspect like Adelaide we should be looking for someone from continental Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewConvert Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Disappointed to see him start. He should always come on as a sub in the second half. Since contractually the club is stuck with him for another season, he may as well be told that being part of the starting line up is a thing of the past unless in extreme circumstances.

Attack11 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Wilo not celebrating after his goal last night shows his lost the passion for this club and perhaps the game.. Simply doesn't give a fuck if we finish 1st, last, 6th or 10th... We need to get players like this out of our club.. For a player to score 12 goals last season and then go so many games without a goal I would have expected at least a fist pump in the air after he scored ...

NewConvert Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I actually thought he didn't celebrate because he was offside and had been pulled up by the linesman. When that didn't eventuate he just kept cool about it. Mind you after the piss weak efforts against CCM and WSW I think that over the top celebrations would have been hard to stomach.

I know that right now I probably want Williams coming off the bench for every game remaining in the season. The gap between his performances when he starts and his performances when he comes off the bench has become almost comical.

Harrison Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I must've missed the meeting where we agreed to forget about past performances. Unfortunately, he is disappointing most weeks, especially when he starts. That explains my negativity, which tends to carry over from week to week even when he scores a goal. I hope he improves to the point where he can score/create goals in crucial moments. His miss last week against CCM proved to be a big one. If he can regain confidence in his ability, I think he'll be able to make a bigger impact. Perhaps this goal will be indicative of his performances into the immediate future. Time is running out for him though as, IIRC, he is out of contract at season's end. I imagine he'll take a pay cut if he is offered a contract. I'm not sure what he is currently being paid but if it is anything like $300k, he is overpaid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrot Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) That miss today in the first half when he was one on one with an out of position Danny Vukovic is inexcusable. My take is that David Williams doesn't have the right temperament - the fear of missing led to him panicking/freezing up and losing his technique. Result - he skied the ball metres over the cross bar. David Williams is over 27. It's unlikely he's going to improve much from here. He's a coach killer and a team morale sapper and should be replaced. Edited April 19, 2015 by Parrot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
