Just saw the 'highlights'.
Only saw I go so working from memory.
Goal 1 not sure why he didn't come out for Brosques' run. Defence Didn't help him not tracking the bloke.
Goal 2 was that the one he parried? Can't really fault him there.
Goal 3 don't remember it as being good or bad for him.
Goal 4 oh dear. Legit if we had a keeper on the bench the coach thinks is worth keeping then BK should prob be getting a rest next week. No idea how good 3rd choice is.
Only thought is that Stubbs has plans to sign a top class keeper and let BK start #2 next year.
The status quo in our squad is not good enough at the moment.
Goal 1 is more defenders fault than BK - most keepers would get beat 1 on 1 like that. Think the problem is he didn't commit to coming out or staying back, got caught in no mans land. Partially to blame I guess but fark me, that defending was awful.
Goal 2 is Mullen's fault IMO. No way Ibini should have got to the rebound if the defender was tracking back. Guilty of ball watching and only reacting to Ibini once he went past him.
Goal 3 was is one of the best headed goals in the A-League I can remember. No way BK can be blamed for it. Though I can't remember if the lead up play was him making a shit clearance (there were a few of those).
Goal 4, ****ing hell BK. Absolute shambles.
Could be worse... we could have Velaphi or Thomas in goals.
We really should do everything to get Vukovic away from Perth.
By this point in time, Solari should be up to at least challenging BK for a run. I know he was meant to be our youth/3rd keeper, and things have changed, but by now he should be up to some form of job at HAL level. And if the guys who have seen him beg to differ, and that he's not up to it, then that says he should be let go.
Drag the next young kid to take up NYL keeper. Sign Danny Ireland to the senior side. Re-sign BK. Sell Biraz (jesus wept). And let's see how we go for a full season, purely with local keepers. It will either be a masterstroke or evidently a failure - and then we can sign a legitimate keeper to start our games.
OK
You're right, if you'd seen Solari play/train you wouldn't be calling for his inclusion
Totally disagree with your points on goal 2.
No issue if he parries a fierce shot but I was under the impression you parry it out for a corner or towards the sideline and not back in the direction he did.
It wasn't the only time he done that on Friday and he got away with a few in the first half that could have been just as disastrous.
Whatever he is doing with this tactic needs looking at because to me it isn't good enough to have a keeper at this level parrying balls back into the penalty box
It was a powerful shot, centre of the goal, roughly waist height... to actually parry that so it goes out for a corner runs the risk of him parrying it directly into goals and being called out for that. It's not like he was sprawling close to either corner and parried it into play. Mullen is entirely to blame for that goal IMO.
Totally agree. Pretty disappointing from Mullen tbh who has been quite good. It's one thing not to get to Ibini before he shoots but to not back up the rebound is criminal.
1st goal is the midfields fault. CB's are doing their job, pushing up to get the strikers offside. Brosque strolls through with no one tracking the run and the passer is able to make a cup of tea before delivering the ball. BK could have done better for sure but can hardly be blamed for being beaten 1 on 1
No mate, I think BK is an absolutely shite GK but if he parries it to go out as you are suggesting and it ends up going in, you are having a go at him for that instead. Choose your battles when ragging on BK, this isn't one where you can likely win.
Stick with goal 4, that was absolutely diabolical.
it wasn't a point blank save
he could've parried the ball sideways even if not to go out for a corner to really shut down the angle of a follow up shot (yes mullen should've been on his toes also)
if youre saying he runs the risk of parrying into his own net then he shouldn't be a goal keeper as they should be looking to parry all shots away from goal (apart from point blank which really youre just looking for any save)
Hahaha parry a shot in the guts away over the bar.
dead set retarded blokes on here.
Can't wait til we get linked with Federici and you same mongs lose your shit thinking Elvis has been found.

Yo.
Where all you mongs at? Last night your boy Young stood where you wanted him to stand. Took the first step in the proper direction, dived and STILL got beat. (From a fair distance one might add).
In conclusion, there are such things as great free kicks.
Cheers,
