With that back line we might need to score 12!

the goalkeeping debate between bouzanis and covic comes down to one thing.
Is Covic going to be re-signed at the end of the season?
If so, then Covic starts for the ACL games and Bouzanis plays in the league games
If not, Bouzanis becomes the #1 in the league, plays home ACL games and Covic plays away ACL games

Covic said he wants to play another season, but depends on Popa whether he offers him the contract or not. Not sure on the keeper but if DB plays then safe to safe Covic was dropped but not sure if he did enough to keep his spot. The only problem is that you can't keep dropping your keepers after a bad performance, got to stick with them.

 

The issue with the defense is that Spira has hamstring tightness and then Golec/NTS/ Aspro/Tanaka played 90 minutes Wesnesday. So essentially we will have to go with an experimental line up, we really have no choice.

 

Youlley is our youth team DCM, he pulls the strings for us & given high wraps from Taurus. After Trifiro's 45mins & dummy spat, it won't do him any favours in team selection & we don't really have any other choice in this area. We could play Fofanah in deep & Trifiro in the n10 instead of Youlley but I just don't think Popa rates Trifiro any longer even as a squaddie.

I have a lot of time for Trifiro, state league player that became continental champion.
he most likely feels that he hasn't got a fair chance or a decent crack at cementing a first team place

Never heard of Liam Youlley before, what position does he play?

 

He's a young vertically challenged DM, who doesn't take a backward step.

 

I don't expect Popa to select an inexperienced defensive combination, as it would get cut to ribbons by MV's pace in transistion & the guile of Finkler.

Neither Covic or Bouzanis would give me confidence as a defender at the moment, but then as a goal keeper the defense in front of me wouldn't give me confidence either... which came first.. the chicken or the egg lol

ahhh, but the key point is that we are having this conversation in the first place.

 

This is King Covic we are talking about, the man that arguably won us the ACL on his own.

the man that saves penalty kicks for fun.

 

Interesting times are ahead of us, 

Popa could be just giving Covic a little break and a small kick up the backside at the same time

Or it could be a statement to him that he has decided that he is no longer within the future teams plans

Why isn't Kalmar listed as in or out?

I find it interesting how the club is advertising the FC Seoul game at the end of their videos on facebook and not the game against Victory which is at HOME

No tickets left in the Victory game tomorrow, and PLENTY of tickets left in the FC Seoul.

 

Owners need $$$$

 

SIMPLES.

Firstly, they were advertising the FC Seoul game which is on next week in Korea and only on TV.

 

What I'm trying to say is that the club needs to be encouraging members to come to the games, we cant afford to have 14k crowds all the time. 

I know many might think because the club has already got its membership money, they dont give a **** if people turn up, but they should.

How are we ever going to get an upgrade if we only average 14k? Its stupid.

 

Everyone turn up tomorrow

**** the victory

we f***ed your mum

berisha getting abused

the hope that we may pinch a victory after two losses

the usual antics against the 'divine team and fans' and 'prop up'ers of the A league

CANT WAIT

 

Western Sydney Wanderers v Melbourne Victory – The Lowdown

The Key Match Up should be Berisha vs Bulut!

 

It would be epic to see them both lose their **** at each other.

In the maccas carpark

In the maccas carpark

bulut would win, i remember berisha running away when he challenged bosschaart to a fight, no ******* way bulut would run (he runs a lot during football matches but what i meant is run away)

I love it when Victory at home comes around, 

 

Definitely my favourite game for chants.

 

Our squad makes me scared.

Berisha would do something dirty like kick you in the knee or coward punch you

Scoring is now coming easily to the Wanderers it seems – and Popovic would love that to continue for another week given they've scored just once in their past five matches against Victory.

 

Pretty sure Kalmar scored against them last time we played and Bridge scored against them the time before that. Actually, I haven't checked but haven't we scored against them in all of our last five matches?
