GVE Gooooooooone

[BodyNovo]

I'm sick of the playing attractive football>3 Points

The gypos play terrible football yet they win

Give it up Gary

[boz-monaut]

since when have we been playing attractive football?

[BodyNovo]

We haven't been but Gary is intent on us playing some Barcelona quality shit.

I think he used the term "high-pressing possession based" in the pre-season.

Even commentators like Bozza and Rudes are saying that GVE should be simply playing players who are performing and not constantly "tinkering" with the side. Imagine how players must feel when you've played well one week and then next week find that you are on the bench or not even in the squad.....has happened just about every week e.g Goodwin, Virgili, Ribeiro, Regan and Chapman have had decent games and then been left out the following week. FFS the comp is only 27 rounds and you only have 1 game/week so there should be no need to "rest" players.

How about they just go back to practicing the basics at training as I've consistently seen some the most fundamental basics of football horribly missing from games each week.
1. A successful 5 yard pass.
2. A successful 10 yard pass.
3. Successfully crossing the ball.
4. Pass and MOVE.
5. Don't go flying into tackles when you obviously have no chance of winning the ball.
6. Repeat the last 5 steps, i mean seriously c'mon......you're meant to be "professional footballers".

Seen many coaches at all levels over the years and the ones that continually change players and formations are the ones doomed to fail

[Football is us]

Not to mention that Bridges & Heskey played up front at nation level for england, but no, big ego GVE wont even give them 1 start up front together!
Instead give a young bloke a start in the middle, then when he makes a mistake blame him, dont stand behind your decision, then totally destroy his confidence.

Even when we won games we played shit. we were lucky!

Piss the formation off, its not working, and even when you come out and say your playing attracive football, you must hae been watching a barcelona game and got upset
Leave your tinkering to your bedroom, and get some stability and some consistency!!

Get the experienced boys back in there and give the young boys some time off the bench and when they play well consecutively give them a start.

Or just piss off back to the AIS, your a pretender with a big ego!

Couldn't agree with you more. Van God has to be a dill, he couldn't run a piss up in a brewery.

We were lucky to come away from the Wanders game with points, and we were lucky to beat the Central Coast in our first game against them.

The promised high tempo, high pressing game has hardly been seen. We have two high quality strikers in Heskey and Bridges, and although advancing in years, they have more football knowledge and a deft touch than Van God can ever hope to have.

Start Heskey and Bridges together, and give them a relatively free reign up front, and allow them to lead and inspire the younger players .... they've seen and played more football than our supposedly illustrious Van God can ever dream about.

And as for attractive football .... its mostly dead bloody boring. Full back passes to full back, and again , and again ... oh we better give the keeper a touch, so back to the keeper, and when Kennedy is the keeper, he either kicks the ball out, or the opposition gain the ball from it.

In regard to dropping Heskey, he is the reason we have the points we have.

Is Van God and his larger than life ego simply frightened that his two best players, in Bridges and Heskey, and others like Goodwin might overshadow him?

He's spoken a few times now of some of the players playing with fear ... is he confusing that with his own fear?

I would also like to bring up that GVE was running our youth in the AIS at the exact time our youth couldn't score goals and played boring football.

60% possession isn't so impressive when 50% of that was between the keeper and fullback alone. No point "keeping possession" if you can't score a bloody goal.
Step one of football, score more than the opponent!

Exactly, every word of it! If we leak goals , we need to score more then them .... the basic aim of the game .... and it provides entertaining football as well.

[parksey]

how about we adapt our system to suit heskey hey

[Skirt Boy]

Play 442

Get it wide, use pacey wingers, cross it into the box.............jobs done.

[late_to_the_game]

Agree with the comment about the basics -
Did anyone else notice that when Perth had a throw in, they mostly kept posession?
When we had a throw in, within two passes Perth had posession?

[militiamon]

The comments on this page are exactly why I don't want Gary to go.

Barbarians at the gate.

[The Dunster]

Fan: Are you playing this week ?

Player: Well, I played well last week but with Gary that could mean I'm on the bench or dropped.

Could be a player having a laugh. Might be a player telling it how it is.

I hope it was a player having a laugh.

Was going to say " said " player fits Ribeiro profile but then realised that could one any number of players.

[belchardo]
