Probably not the right thread for this question but:
Does anyone else have problems with the A-League Jets app reading articles on an android mobile? If I click on a News item it will open the News page but not the article itself, which is basically useless unless you only want to read the headings and guess what the content will be, bit sh*t really...
You are correct. News items will not openQuote:

Geez Jackson is shit. I hope that we can loan him out to an all age n grade side that are short of numbers
Don't knock n grade
Hey hey...I did say 'short on numbers'Quote:

I have no idea what Ernie is trying to achieve with his set up at the moment. We don't press, we don't hit them on the counter, we don't cross early, we don't try to take people on (bar Vargas.) Our system is basically, put the most talented players we have on the pitch and hope that they will get the job done. No balance, no plan on how to win the league, let alone games or even halves of football.
I think we need to move to a 3-5-2. We have too many defenders and CMs. Lets set ourselves up to always have numbers behind the ball and have 2-3 players in attack who have the freedom to move about and not be burdened with instant defence. We just don't have enough 1st team players who can attack at this level to play with 3 up top, or 1 up top and 3 in behind. The midfield can be changed to a 3-4-3 to accomodate Roy coming back, or another attacker if we want to go for the win/chase the game.

Also, yes this idea came about after watching the Arsenal's 3-4-3 formation this morning. It was great to see us look so comfortable in defence (numbers wise) with very little effort to sprint back. We just seemed to have numbers at all times. But also had enough talent in the front 3 to cause them damage.
NBN - Merrick talking the talk re changes, but deep in my heart I resign myself to the reality he is going to pick that numpty Jackson again and again and again this entire season regardless of how shit he is...

He never made drastic changes at victory and we were warned by vic fans to expect thisQuote:

That is about it
The rest of his choices are like rearranging the deck chairs on the titantic really
He is lacking in options until Joey C and Roy are back
Austin Kosta P Sheppard when fit, If they arnt good enough the ****ing release them now instead of the odd sub appearance every 5 weeksQuote:

Hoff is being criticised for missing chances but where is the praise for actually getting himself into scoring positions ?Quote:

Hoffman has been a lot better since moving back to his best position out wide. He isn't a back to goal striker typeQuote:

He would be better off not getting into scoring positions he would have an excuse for not converting. Hoff was a average RB and handy utility plug a hole type player like last season but that is all. What other club in this league would see Hoff lead the line for almost a third of the regular season.
Hoff is one of those types who could have easily at the end of any given season ( except for last season ) faded back in to NPL and no one would have given it a second thought.
I still disagree but to each their ownQuote:

I get it i do but in a professional league where results count toward membership and sponsorship you need players with both those qualities. Squads are filled with nice blokes but it is the ones who have give 100% and have technical ability that win you things or at least keep you in the hunt.Quote:

In a team with a full healthy squad he is on a bench at best or in the stands with the rest of us on game day.Quote:

That's a quality professional footballer and to call him otherwise is deluded.
I think Hoffman has done well. Not great, but not terrible.
He doesn’t deserve to be dropped to the bench. He’s been put in a position I don’t think he wants to be in and something he isn’t overly suited to through no doing of his own. He’s simply doing what’s asked of him.
I think Hoffman has offered more to us in a position he’s not familiar with at this level than George has offered this season.
I’d much rather see George dropped to the bench before Hoffman.
Wouldn’t mind seeing Dimi in a false 9. With Hoffman/Jair/Thurgate/Austin supporting.
Let Vargas run the midfield with Kanta and Ugar the anchors.
I'm with you Dunster...Quote:

By the extra players coming to him for the easy ball, Honda had so much more extra time, and was never double teamed. Once he was 1 on 1 with a WSW player he could pick and choose as he pleased with his passes (or runs).
contrast that to sunday and whenever the ball was switched to Dimi no one came near him, and if his fullback made a run it was usually to overlap him.
this always left Dimi with limited options, and it 'seemed' like the idea of getting him the ball was to put him in space and let him create something.
problem was a lot of the time he was on the ball he was quickly double teamed, leaving him no real options.
it certainly looked like the game plan to hope Dimi got in lots of 1 v 1 situations in space. but it didnt work.
lets not forget the ones that dont get suspended for half the season, that also helps.Quote:
