Thoughts on Llorente??

Fast, agile. Can whip in a cross, seems like a decent pickup. Got caught out a few times. Too early to tell.

Cejudo is where it's at. Guy is class.

Lustica is on fire!

Nice finish.

Where was that filmed from, I wonder? Centrepoint tower in the cbd? 

All the preseason games have been filmed that way. Its probably a coaches tactical view for video analysis

Yeah at the FFA Cup game against Blacktown City I was sitting at the back of the stand right near the guy filing it. One dude had a camera on a tripod connected to a laptop that a second guy was using to clip up all the key moments. He went running off with the laptop right on half time. I don't know if the coaching staff look at it during half time but he was back for the start of the second half.

who was that with the tidy flick pass for bridges goal?

Anyone with some indepth analysis on our new players from this game?

and Herd? hows he doing

Was at the game last night and have to say that APIA gave us a hard run in the first half. Cejudo looks very neat, Roly didn't have enough shoot *****, Oriel kept motoring and can only assume Herd was replaced early to make sure whatever niggles or injuries that are plaguing him are sorted sooner rather than later. When the goals came they were nice, but suspect the oppo tired badly in the second 45 (their number 10 was more than half decent). Oh and for anyone who saw it, the almost goal scored by APIA thanks to Hall being unable to hold the ball was a howler in waiting.

The team looks in decent nick both in terms of fitness and standard of football but not sure if it's all put together and running smoothly yet. I wouldn't be surprised if we have a slow start to the new season, but of course hope to fook we smash it.

Gee, that would be a change.

Not.

All games at Marconi are filmed from the tower on the Eastern or hill side.

Yeah, I feel our inability to convert numerous chances plagued us yet again in the first 45 minutes and only when the opposition was tiring did we begin to over power them.

We won't get this luxury come the season when teams are at peak fitness. 

I don't know if it's just me or what but it seems like the opposition is always more deadly in front of goal with a few chances than we are with 100 chances. Example, Blacktown game. We are still failing to put teams away which always comes back to bite us in the ass. 

Not sure why we are so inept in front of goal which seems to be an ongoing trend over the last three seasons.

We're too slow in attacking transition, letting opposition teams get their triple block setup, forcing our attack to continually recycle the ball back to the defence, or out wide where we put in **** crosses, or someone takes a shot from 40 yards out that get blocked.

Yeah Blacktown's second was a tap-in and the first was a quick counter. We score too rarely like this and end up having to break down 2 or 3 walls of defence instead.

It does say something though - more teams are sitting back against us. I think we'll find some more space in the A-league - not every coach is gonna play Mourinho ball.

I love going to Marconi Stadium with the kids, not to mention some great food inside the club, glad we have this affiliation with them.
