Edinburgh Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Very uninspiring to say the least. At times it looked as if most of the team were trying to convince us they hadn't kicked a ball before. Prydzopolis, wendybr and MartinTyler 3 Link to comment
MartinTyler Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Maybe they were guilty of believing their own publicity. After comfortable victories over relative minnows, some media outlets (of all kinds) went overboard in their praise. Once again several players went missing for most of the game when faced with quality opponents. btron3000, sonar, Prydzopolis and 4 others 7 Link to comment

Once again several players went missing for most of the game when faced with quality opponents. Poor quality coaching by Milicic was the chief contributor. Or were they thinking about their upcoming rescheduled W-league games. For example, Heartle$$ Women v Melb Vic Women moved to Sunday. No such consideration given our W-League team in Round 1 with Amy Harrison playing 2 days in a row with Lynn Williams and Denise O'Sullivan travelling back from International duty. F*** the W-League organisers. Potkorok, alexd and Prydzopolis 3 Link to comment

Potkorok Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) I would love to know what the Chinese supporters were chanting. We were sitting right next to the away bays. Now to my untrained ear it sounded like “No more pizza”.....but that seems unlikely As for the game, the Chinese women were very unlucky not to win that. Clearly better for much of the game and certainly the hungrier team. The turnovers from the Matildas were painful. And there were a lot of times our defence sat back and let them regain possession or couldn’t get back in time for counter attacks. We looked gassed after 70 min. Anyway onwards and upwards.

Sithslayer1991 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I feel like the since Milicic we haven't really been great and just going through on the quality of individual players. This of course was happening in the last year of Stajic's tenure that there was a bit of downtrend happening and the team hasn't been playing as well as during their height in 2017. wendybr, Prydzopolis and Edinburgh 3 Link to comment

They’ve got to be better if we want to have a decent crack at the Olympics. It’s fantastic that we are making so many inroads & getting to WC’s & olympics but will need to improve significantly if we want to do more than just participate.
