FT Olympic 3-1
FT Olympic 3-1
Have to query what Magic coach is thinking
Playing 4-3-3 and it a 4-3-3 with your wide attackers puxhed up.
You getting over run in midfield and out numbered against a side playing a 4-5-1 more or less as the wide attackers are only pushing forward in possession but sitting in for the most part
Your 2-1 down 60 mins in so you take a CM off and go 4-2-4 more or less
Rather bizarre to see
I can see Magic losing lots of close games. There front three do no work and the 3 in midfield work there arse off and die. Olympic had a field day in the midfield in the 2nd half.Originally Posted by MFKS
One nil Azzurri ft, very open game with both sides guilty of giving away far to much ball, not sure what system Weston were trying to play but came out in the second half and decided to pump it from the back, easy to defend, long season for bears and buds, still don't think Azzurri will make the four
These blokes have always had top shelf cattle to make them look good, when the chips are down they can be found clueless
Kale kept quiet by bertos.. Might be a sign that everyone who was filthy at the jets for not pushing him to the first team may be wrong. I know you can't judge from one game but against a former a league player he was lost. Mfks what are your thoughts on this
Have Magic won anything under these guys.
Olympic's coach won the tactical battle. Made good structural changes which turned the game.
The injury to Swann sure helped the cause.
As soon as he went off Bertos dropped back and the Olympic back 4 had the Magic attack covered after that.
He definitely got it right by crowding the midfield.
**** though did Magic play into their hands.
As for Kale. Not his best game. The amount of long balls that got pumped by Magic at him and Virgili were excessive. Kale ain't winning shit in the air so why diract 30-40 yard passes in his direction when he is marked by a bigger opponent.
Magics defence for mine was an improvement on last season.
The goals they gave away today were pretty sloppy though.
For the most part they dealt with Olympic attack well but got exposed far too easily on a few occasions and got punished for it
They just conceded 3 goals against Olympic today after conceding 2 against the Jets last weekend. Something wrong defensively if your conceding 5 goals in 2 matches
Magic spent all there money on strikers, Jon Griffiths is a waste of space, hope Higgins returns soon
tackle on Luke Remington at the end of the Jaffas Maitland game is terrible
After 1/3 of the season and a 7 point gap between 5th and 6th on ladder is it that the teams at the bottom are happy to blood players with the aim of seeing what their squad will be like next year as their is no relegation this year or is it that the teams with the coin, apart from Lambton, are taking the better quality players diluting the talent available?
The points system is all wrong, initially they got it right but after one season FFA changed it, the points system was designed to stop clubs signing half a dozen players each year and to develope youth, it's obviously not working
Swancott benched for Jaffas game against Maitland. Is that the first time this year or has it been like that for a week or two?
First time i think... That tackle on Remington was an absolute disgrace... should be straight red any day of the week (but oviously not Sunday's), only thought going through the players mind was im gonna break this guy... adding insult 4 minutes earlier the same guy nearly took his head off leading in a challenge rugby style with shoulder and forearm... linesperson useless 3m away and no flag waved.
We want the league to be more professional and higher profile and attract the big names, but we constantly ignore the basics and fail to appropriately punish the technically inept meatheads of the competition. Shame shame shame!!!
Azzuri have more points this year then the whole of last season, they are going well, remember their best four players this season were all out yesterday,( Hughes, Lama and Hudson and Ross went off after 40 )so depth was tested and backed up my statement that there is more depth this year. Big three weeks coming up but
possibly the absence of Tull is helping. I've always he was a poison for them. Him being injured could be a blessing is disguise IMO.
Next 3 games are Edgeworth, Magic and Olympic. Let us wait until after these 3 games to see where Azzurri are really at. So far they have answered every challenge
Not every challenge. I've only seen them so far at home to Valo. Considering the ease at which Edgy put Valo away the other day, that's one challenge Azzurri might look back on come season's end and realise they dropped 2 easy points.
