Agree with those who say we should wait on JPM. We need to be wary of premature excitation.

Having said that (and I was a JPM sceptic) the main ‘tweak’ he seems to have made is, as others have pointed out, restoring confidence in the team. It’s seems Babbel’s main fault was that he was too plain a talker, both inside and outside the dressing room.

Is it possible to be too German?

Are you still banging on about them being the Kopites? Liverpool are fine. If anything east sydney are the Man U, that’s what they called themselves.  But isn’t it good enough that they are the smurfs, the FFA’s darlings, eastern suburbs twats? They have their own special brand of wanker, they don’t need comparing to others.

They go full Kopite when they lose 

Its all we are special, grace and dignity, moral high horse and then when the lose the toys come out of the pram 

coupled with most of the media being kopites and fawning over them 

^ can apply to both teams 

read bossi article in today’s smh, it’s full Kopite “the team playing cultured football were beaten by physicality” same when ever the mighty Walton White Sox beat the kopites

From corica the Kopite 

"I think it did take it's toll, especially the game in Yokohama. Three weeks without a game is not great," he said after their loss to Western Sydney at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium on Friday.

"You can see the sharpness of the boys over there and their intensity didn't help. We've played three games now so it should be starting to come back.”

so it’s because they haven’t played enough, of course if the other games had of gone ahead it would be that I had played too many

One thing that continues to drive me mental is zeigler's determination to sprint back to mark the invisible man in the 6 yard box. He did it again last night on the barbaroussis volley chance. He ran to mark nothing at the front post and allowed the only attacking player to be unmarked behind him.

STOP ******* DOING THIS!!!!!!!!!

patronising Kopite prick isn’t he

It's funny isn't it. We have dominated possession in games past and been ordinary in defense and attack  . Playing with purpose when we have it is the big difference They had a lot of ball but didn't score. We had the minority of game possession and scored.

He’s not the only one, I remember you ranting on this at the Leeds game

Kogarah is a sh!t stadium, but I had a great night. :clapping:

And the weekend is soooo much nicer, sunnier and happier when your team beats ESFC on a Friday night! :woah:

Thank you Mitch, thank you Wanderers, thank you RBB and all the red and black fans who came to support the team!  :xbop:

Maybe, but even so, that’s one element. You can’t accuse Liverpool, for example, of not having a football culture with being in the 2nd division, the boot room etc., or of being eastern suburbs type twats. They have had to earn the right to talk about the quality of their football whereas Sydney fc were built on Dwight York bling and have believed they’ve been superior on and off the park since day one. They’ve got a special bunch of wanker fans and I just think we reduce that wankerness when we compare them to other clubs, especially one with history, success and respect (despite what you think) around the world.

I think this is JPs “tweak” we actually go forward now, and get balls into the box

Not sure about that...

But it certainly seems possible to be unaware that publicly shaming people you should be guiding and mentoring is not the way to build their trust and confidence , nor get the best out of them....individually or as a group.

:pardon:

I sat on the side hill last night and actually had a chance to see the play, and we still drop too deep too often, not just the defenders. So many times our midfielders are sitting deep and letting Ninko etc. turn on the ball, size up the situation etc. 
 

Also we still are a bit static up front. If we don’t counter or switch it we struggle a bit. Sydney are still better at creating space and triangles. Barbarouses has great movement.

No I think you’ll find I can, and will :) 

Its their tv clapping, fans banging on about history and dignity etc. and being a special club 

The way they go on about how city bought the league, you’d think their current team was built on scouse kids they found on the streets and brought through the famous boot room.. rather than they spent 45m pounds on a goalie

The UK football media is almost exclusively made up of ex Liverpool players and other kopites 

Besides Robbie Slater is a Kopite with his Kopite head

They have the confidence to do it!

And last week, even before they started scoring, they looked relaxed. They smiled on the pitch! It was really noticeable.

The main change I think is positivity. Even when we let that lead slip against Newy, that was a result of poor finishing and a team that was used to losing. We still started looking fresh. JP’s ability to get them to overcome that losing mentality after the Newy game might be his best achievement so far. The team is looking to make a mark.

Also, the kids seem to be back in the mix.

That fatigue excuse is special.  He just timed (or didn't at all) his subs poorly. They looked cooked early on in the 2nd Half.  

Also Brosque for such a staunch SmurfMan is actually a very even handed & sensible pundit. 

Bring on the 3rd derby, a clean sweep would ruin their whole season regardless of what happens for them the rest of the season.

We will need to beat them two more times this season to really ruin their season.

What a game, what a win...and what a hangover I've got.

I didn't like JP at first but he seems to be winning me over. If he knows the right formation and players to use to get the squad back to a winning form, I say promote him to manager.
He'll be having a lot of thinking to do today on what the Starting XI will be against Roar. With DG out on suspension due to the red card, Kamau looking like he copped an injury and Baccus injured, it makes you wonder how he'll line up the squad next week.

Oh...don't forget to say good morning to OWEN FIVE:

that is very kind of you to reach out to one of our ex players who is most likely upset for losing a football match last night
