We weren't real great, cohesion was terrible, but I'll take a point away in the first game of the season.
Topor was good, millar and burns give me some hope.
No idea what we were trying to do with arroyo.
Gave my vote to Wes Hoolahan for avoiding this abortion of an effort.
Arroyo wasn't fit and should not have played but as we have no other striker besides some Petratos brothers Ernie probs will never play he was always going to start.
Problem is he hasn't changed his tactics from last season looks like it which is a huge worry. Also if Ridenton could never play CM and Johnny K never play LB again that would be great
I saw this and the Western v Glory game. The gulf in quality between the two matches makes me sad
We looked better when we got Ugarkovic on the ball in the second half.
Ridenton can't play again. Ever. If he does then Ernie is taking the piss
Firstly
Did anyone else see the Gypo women pushing 50/60 who was walking around with no pants on in downtown GypoHQ just prior to kick off
FMD
Can't say I was shocked
As foe the game
Lets call a spade a spade
The Gypos are shit they got a better keeper now than they had when BK was there but they still getting the wooden spoon as they are still honking bad
As for us Bert has to be fired surely now??
Unable to beat these ****s should be a sackable offence
Absolutely disgraceful if he is still employed by Monday morning
As for our players
Fitzgerald is shit I am calling it now. Complete waste of ****ing space
Arroyo is honking FFS we had him here all off season and he can't run out 90 mins FFS What are we doing fitness wise with players ?
Gypo Miller is wasted at FB play him at RW and make Hoffman play FB. The bloke is 5 x a threat of Hoff and Fitzgerald combined and we are making the ****s defend WTF for
As for the game defensively we were sound. Was a great finish for their goal and they rarely threatened but FFS it is the Gypos and they had Matt Simon up front
Our midfield defensively were shit house.And it all starts with positional play. Dimis is miles away from Ridenton and Sugar who are also too far away from Fitzuseless and Hoff. The amount of times we got outnumbered in midfield scraps was a ****ing joke. Defensively Ridenton is weak always has been but Sugar done his usual going MIA without Kanta present
As for attack 1 ****ing goal from a charity penalty says we are ****ing shit
Lets just pencil ourselves in for 8th place at seasons end and stop wasting our ****ing time
Is 8th the new 7th?
Oh no, I was unfortunately pre-dispossed yesterday evening and missed this event.... How sad!
To be honest is this really a derby anymore? Half of the players have played for both teams anyway. This is more like a reunion. Just put us out of our misery already.
Also, did anyone cringe at all the pregame "banter" between the CEOs that was clearly organised at their weekly co-meetings? Actually, McKinna probably still has his own office down there to plan our downfall easier.
what game were you guys watching? Fitz and Millar both did well, looked to get the ball and barrel down a wing
Arroyo's problem was they were constantly playing him the wrong ball. He's not Dukes ffs lobbing high balls for him to get with his back to goal and with two defenders on him isnt his game. He needs through balls and balls over the top of the defence for him to use his pace to run on to. We start giving him the right service he'll be fine.
All those whinging about Ridenton, he was there because Kanta wasn't.
We immediately looked better with Burns in that LB role, Johnny K should be next to Stevie UG when Kanta isnt available.
