I think Muscat is okay, there have been a lot worse coaches in the A-league, the players do seem to play for him to reasonable extent, but he certainly is not anything special. Well behind Ange, Arnold and Popovic.

I don't think he is a bad manager TBH.Honest opinions, with the red-tinted glasses off.
What do you make of Muscat as a manager? He inherited a strong side, with a great foundation and a touch of Ange, added Berisha and has been reasonably successful.
But there's still a lingering doubt for me. That Victory side is full of good footballers but last night they were bossed for a good 55 mins by a side that on paper shouldn't do that.
I don't think the idea of inheritting strong teams is very relevant in the aleague given its volatility. ( not Since Mulvey taking over from Ange where he basically made no signings of his own and played slightly more direct.
Its still pre season with varying amounts of fitness on the pitch. Victory were great for 30 minutes until our fitness level allowed us to take over. But will our high fitness levels cause us to peak to early into the season? will we see over use injuries plague us midway into the season? its hard to say.
Ppl who slap the label of truth on the 1st thing they hear, do it out of ignorance, convenience or cant be bothered picking through a thin layer of falsehood to find the real truth, or possibly even another lie

Loved how much victory players were complaining about our physicality. We struck a mental blow and no doubt they will make public comment about it just before our rd 3 encounter in an attempt to sway the ref.

I find the concept of Victory players complaining about our physicality to be downright hilarious. They had 6 bookings to our 1! And can count themselves lucky they still had 11 on the park.Loved how much victory players were complaining about our physicality. We struck a mental blow and no doubt they will make public comment about it just before our rd 3 encounter in an attempt to sway the ref.
I think it was mostly frustration at being completely outplayed, which made the win even sweeter knowing that wild tackles were the only reaction they could think of.
