Jackson has never been a fullback and we had cowburn on the bench who couldve played LB if needed. Terrible sub choice by Merrick imo
Who gives a **** about our full backs and our subs
Exactly what the **** was the men marking Taggart doing for the goals
Slow for 1st
Nowhere for 2nd
Who was meant to be marking him
Topor or Boogaard??
Because for experienced players it was amatuer defending
Perth may have stacked the centre of the park but reality was our centre mids in Kanta and Ugarkovic done little
When Brown came on he sat in their pocket as well
For the last 20 mins there was no composure and control of the game at all from any of them
Even if we conceding posession advantage you can look comfortable in defence and dangerous on the counter
We done neither yesterday
Kanta Ugar and Brown chased shadows and were bypassed in midfield and taken out of the game far too easily
Considering Kanta and Browns experience it not really good enough
Brown does not offer nowhere near enough to be occupying a visa spot.
I was trying to be as kind as possible LOL
this is definitely still an incomplete side that is feeling the effects of previous, shitty management
Boogs and Brown offer very little considering the money they're on and use of a visa spot on one of em, we only have boogs because of stubbins and only still have brown because of jones I believe, apologies if I'm wrong on that end
I thought Vargas and Roy have shown to be two of our best imports in ages, Roy seems way more active playing for us then he ever did for the Mariners and Vargas with some time to gel with the team and get his fitness up can only improve from here I feel
Georgevski and Vujica killed it, considering Castro was running at Vujica a lot, he was game and did a really good job as well as putting in a lot of work up and down the park
Our midfield struggled a little compared to last game, i liked Uga going on the odd run and I do think Kanta is playing the best football he's played in years, but I would like to see Kanta get replaced by some truly high quality mid
Were we struggle most is our cb's who are just woeful, and the fact that nabbout is kinda start stop, he can be very good at times and gets himself into good positions, but messes up those positions a lot more then he shoul
Thought Nabbout looked out of sorts yesterday, couple of times just appeared flat footed a lack of anticipation if you will.
Well I watched the game and from the time Vargas went off we were a lot less threatening
The minute Nabbout left our attack was ****ed as Champness didn't get into the game at all except to give away a few fouls
Our team just basically held position for the last 20 and tried to hang on
Our midfield sitting on the toes of our back four were the reason why
They never seen the ball and when we did get it we had no one to give it to or refused to respect possession and just hoofed it away
Bert was obviously watching a different game if he thinks we had any control of that last 20 mins because the dominance we were showing in the second half that was rewarded with the goal ceased as soon as the subs came on
how long is champness signed for? can't wait to see him playing for sydney.
What people are saying is exactly why we need some luck to go well this year. Our best 11 has enough quality to make top 4. Unfortunately our depth is pretty shit. A few subs and our team starts to look a lot like last years.
Where is johnny k at? That's dudes way to talented to not be on the bench over someone like brown honestly
