View Full Version : Patricio Rodriguez aka Drovandi v 2.0
May well get an upgraded tag to the Turton Rd Neymar when he lives up to the hype but that in due time
Right now let's just assume we have Drovandi v2.0 and any thing better is a bonus

Hopefully Bert throws Drovandi v 2.0 into the fray v Gypos on the 9th with similar devestating results

He can play a little better than Drovandi
He reminds me of Fat Maradona

My take on Patito: great goal on debut, some really good touches. Only had a few sessions so good cameo.
However there were a number of times he found himself on the right wing with no one left on the left. When the ball moved that way he didn't look to move back quickly. Didn't look interested in tracking back and seemed to be standing around alot. I really think its down to fitness. I'm not saying he should be running around like a head-less chook a la Brown, but needs to come up to speed with the way we play (i.e defending from the front, moving around).
Give him a few rounds and more minutes he will improve no doubt. Would love it if we found a way to keep both Vargas and Pato for next season!!

In the press conference Ernie said he instructed Patito to take it easy - hence I don't think it was a lack of fitness - more a case of Ernie instructing him to not worry about defensive duties so much. Ernie also said that Patito changed the game and that he will definitely be starting for our next game.

The bloke deadset only just stepped off the plane! He took the piss, looked to play forward at nearly every opportunity (which is Ernie's instructions) but then played smart and kept possession when we needed to slow the game down... oh and he also scored on debut after sprinting 20m on the press! Arguably the best Jet's debut since Milton vs Sydney.

He was pretty much at a standing start, got the ball cleanly and I don't think he even had enough momentum to make it far enough to make contact with the opponent. Would have been a harsh yellow and I feel some refs wouldn't have even penalised it.

Or is it the other way around and players agents shopping them around? Both players were coming to the end of their contracts.

The Jerkstream live podcasts at the start of the season with Ernie Merrick & Lawrie McKinna, they actually talked about the process of how Vargas got on their radar. It sounds as if all AL clubs use some scouting software that is available to all of them, and players highlights etc are uploaded to them and clubs can click thru until they find someone they like. So basically, we signed both dudes because of DVD highlights. I might eventually go back and listen to those two pods to reflect on what has transpired since then, and if i do I'll tell you when/where in them they mention it.
I was reading somewhere the other day someone mentioning that all the players that have come directly from the big three in the Greek Super League (Panath, Olympiacos, AEK) to the AL have been pretty great. The list currently is: Nico Martinez, Bruno Fornaroli, Nathan Burns, Ronald Vargas, Potato Rodriguez. Pretty impressive list. Maybe AL clubs will now just stalk rejects from those 3 clubs from now on!

Top players can have an average game. He did some quality stuff but he faltered many other times as did Dimi. Got pushed off the ball, lacked a bit of pace, trying to take on 4 defenders. Harsh but fair.
Of course he will show his class when he gets more in the legs and gels with the squad and coach. I dont care if he beats all 11 but dont fking lose the ball. I dont expect much ay.

I'm with you. The bloke is ****ing class. But I counted 4 times in a row he got the ball and lost it with a poor pass or taking on when he had a free team mate. I'm all for taking the piss but this was at the very point Brisbane were gaining the ascendency. Moss saved our graces. Pato will be much better for the run and I'd assume be disappointed with those couple of moments. His other contributions were outstanding. It was just these moments that were more crucial than others and well could have cost us. It wasn't down our end in the corner this was on half way or deep in our backline.
But the bloke is hot as **** and deserves to be nailing chicks at Fannys. Plus his mrs is hot too. So **** yeh love ya Pats

My theory for yesterday's performance was that he was told to last the game or as much as he could and therefore had to pace himself and just pick moments to show his stuff.
He definitely is still getting up to full match fitness
I would encourage anybody who can download the game on catch up or recorded it to see just how many times he had a abundance of space around him calling and gesturing to be fed the ball only for it to go to another player being marked more tightly.
In actual fact when i got home to watch the replay Harps made a point of saying in the call it took us the best part of 60 min to switch on too the fact that we were not using him as we should have.

So this
I thought we missed a lot of tricks with him
Firstly he should have been sent to find where they were hiding Broxham for a start
Secondly there were times in the second half when Victree had us back defending
Duncan gets the ball
Pato is on half way in miles of space and the ball goes short down Hoff's side
This and the countless other times we just refused to feed him the ball
Third I don't think he had the best of games either
Fourth it wouldn't surprise me if he has been over worked recently fitness wise trying to get him up to standard and is a little flat at present

Thought it was also weird that (whoever the Melb right back was) the dude marking him wouldnt ever get forward to help Barbarouses.
It would have helped out their best attacker, and also made Pato track back. So either Muscat was scared of leaving Pato alone and told his bloke to sit, or he wanted to leave Jackson and Barbarouses one on one and hope his bloke won the contest.
both strategies seemed to fail and it meant a lot less defensive work for Pato.
and yeah i noticed Duncan not even trying to hit him on the break but can only imagine he didnt think he'd make it going against the wind.
on the ball though, geez he looks nice.

Thing is, he doesn't have to output a lot of energy in attack necessarily, he's quite happy to play pass and move. The problem is our team actually has to pass it to him for this to happen.
If its a fast break, yeah sure, give it to him and have a run. But I'd love to see us stop pumping balls straight to their keeper and play feet some more - play to his feet and provide an option.

Simple really.
Big shame but was never quite sure how it was panning out with Pato drifting centrally all the time leaving us skinny on our left defensively. Just didn't seem to be a smooth thing with Dimi and Pato on the park together in there respective roles. I actually thought one stage we may have to shift Dimi left and Pato centrally if they are to be on the park together.
Anyways don't have to worry about that now. Not being familiar with calf injuries but it did seem to take a while to get Pato off last Friday once he looked like he was struggling with his calf. Could this have been made worse because if memory serves me right he put in a few runs on a couple of occasions in the minutes waiting to be subbed.

If he holding his leg and then is allowed to play on for a couple of minutes and not be replaced then some SERIOUS questions have to be asked of the medical staff
A couple of mins without him on the park his much better than 4-6 weeks
Why exactly was he allowed to hobble on until they hooked him anyway??
Pretty amatuer really.
Hope Bert goes through our medical side of things in the off season.
We have had a lot of needless injuries Roy Duncan Georgevski Hoffman Pato etc where blokes just disaappear from view for perriids of time for littler reason
Been a great season but this is one area we really need to be improving on.
Cant do much about Vargas type of injury but the amount of soft tissue injuries we have had has been a joke
Yeh it certainly looked to take a while to acknowledge he needed some attention. I must admit however my medically uneducated thought was cramp at first so perhaps the bench seen it the same way.

Yep - shit happens but we have to play the blame game and find a patsy.

Talk of Mcgree to start on the left. I would have thought Champness and even Hoffman would be ahead of him in a wide role. Roll of the dice but guess it shows we have decent depth.

I saw Champness as a stright swap (even swapping wings with Nabbout) or moving Hoffman forward on the right again, nabbout on the left, Georgievski right and bringing back Vujica.

Yep my thoughts too. Surprised to hear Mcgree was looking like starting. As the others have done quite well.
Maybe Ernie thinks Mcgree and Dimi can interchange between wide and no.10

McGree is more similar to Dimi and I think having the additional option in the centre of the park when attacking is what Ernie is looking for.

We had that with Pato who kept drifting in field. I think we need two wide players to hold the width and spread the other teams out

We're certainly going to need that against Sydney.

Needs to show a hell of alot more to get a new contract.
Problem is he keeps leaving the left hand side. With Vargas back can see this no longer being an issue as Dimi will be despatched to the right Ronnie in the middle and Pato out on the left.

Pato likes to float and drift inside. This would work if someone rotated to the left when he moved inside

The guy has just come back from a stint on the sideline, to play with players he hasn’t had a chance to form any chemistry with... McGree is still new, and Champness usually doesn’t play up top. Would love to see him alongside Ronny for a few consecutive games and we might see him step it up a level.
