Rd 4: Melb City v AUFC 28-10-16

[Futbol_Crazy21]

One more last second defeat and I'm calling Beyond Blue.

It might happen more if we don't score more and finish games off while we are still dictating the pace of the game.

Positives this week. Don't have to play thugs in wsw or victory. Bad news, we play a team that actually plays football.

You're not referring to City are you?

Just a bunch of superstars (at HAL level) running around.

Never seen anything from Van't Schip that has closely resembled tactics in his entire stint with Heart and now City.

They will fare well because of their quality but I reckon our football has them covered.

Considering they have their semi-final on tomorrow as well, I'm expecting 3 points.

More in reference to them playing the ball and not the man.

Kilkenny as a false CB is an interesting tactic. Jakobsen seems to be a good player but I feel Muscat and Rose could be weaknesses at full back.
Cahill has had flashes of skill but really is not contributing much as a number 10 so it is a challenge how the fit him and Fornaroli into the same team.

Kitto and whoever players on the other wing (O'Doherty or Choi) are going to be very important as I feel they can get the better of Rose and Muscat.

[Reds United]

I honestly don't understand why he put O'Doherty on instead of McGree when he subbed off Makarounas. O'Doherty moved to the wing when McGree came on. Didn't make sense to me personally. Should've just put McGree on first.[/quote]



Although O'Docherty and McGree did well, I think it is more of a case of Amor putting on Choi when Henrique went off injured.

[Ghost]

Apparently O'Doherty played in the centre in preseason a few times so it was not an out of a blue move. Amor obviously sees him as a player who can play the number 10 role and I thought he did well in there.

True. He definitely played that position once in Malaysia.

[Ghost]

It does make me wonder whether O'Doherty might be our number 10 against City. It would be a huge undertaking for such a young inexperienced player but it would also show Amor really, really rates him as having a big future.
Against it would be it would leave us with no wingers on the bench as Choi would also be starting unless you count Ochieng if he was to come into the side.

Honestly. A creative agency who clearly don't understand sport, working with sports administrators who clearly don't understand fans. Match made in heaven really.
