Wayward Krpic Kills Wanderers

It was like Carl Robinson has come back to coach us again.

Krpic, he does good things off the ball but he’s not A-League level striker, to me he’s more of an NPL1 standard striker where the tempo is a bit slower which suits Krpic.

I don’t know what’s the story with Yengi but if he’s fit, he needs to start against the Roar on Friday night.

Also, we looked very lethargic, the players looked completely gassed by halftime, watching RBTV last night, one of the boys mentioned that during the WC Break, the players had intense training and would explain why players are getting niggling injuries and are completely gassed.

Yengi and Ninkovic are back to full training this week according to club Facebook page, so would assume that they would at least be on the bench.

Krpic needs to be dropped to the bench or completely out of the side as a wake up call. This guy is gonna cost Rudan his job if we don't make finals this season. 

[Sithslayer1991]

You know I think Rudan is just ultra defensive with tactics but any time his teams need to proactive his system just doesn't suit or allow for flare players to create more opportunities without changing the structure. WU getting the early goal killed us because they are similar happy to get 1-0 results.

I think with Rudan's team its imperative to get the first goal and game manage the result. However going down early and we get a  very dour sort of effort because we need to make a play for the win. Not having Yengi or Ninkovic puts a lot of responsibilities on Borello or Yeni to creat something and can be easily close down. Krpic man the guy must be still on holidays or the rumours on the forum are true and he isn't settling in Sydney and wants to leave. Just lost that extra bit of energy or confidence prior to the break.

The last 2 games have put clearly the limitations of Rudan's tactics and we come to Brisbane next week and it will be similar to the past 2 games where we need to be more proactive but the opposing side is terrible that we play down to their level. Stereotypical Wanderers game.

It looked like it was a 40 degree day, it was 20 though

Romain Amalfitano took over in the central attacking midfield role behind Bozanic & Calem Nieuwenhof.

 

 

 

I didn't watch the game but i reckon this is where we may have gone wrong.

 

 

 

 

Aren't we glad mr lederer rushed into signing rudan so the bulls wouldn't get him.

The three midfielders all basically tried to play in the same space we had no width until willmering came on, but all he does is receive the ball in attacking half then pass it back 

I swar Carlo scared him so much that he gets PTSD whenever he is in a attacking position

Yeni has shown that he has trick up his sleeve if allowed to play. Of course Ninko. Remi when he wants can turn it on. Borrello get him in the right positions and can use his pace to get behind. And of course Yengi the number 9 who is playing on the wing. Like I feel the structure keeps us defensively sound but sacrifices allowing these guys to get behind the lines for the sake of the structure. We get to slow to get forward to busy building around the defense and midfield to maintain the structure and formation.

We are so static, obviously it's not a very relevant game but you the contrast to how Everton kiddies  played against us was huge, we just dont move off the ba at all no runs nothing 

[Niksreed]

Re the Krpic problem. Can we see a soon to be fit Yengi going into number 9 (not sure if this solves anything) or a possible foreign signing in Jan? 

[Natethan]

Yengi is a number 9. Needs to play there. I get krpic does heaps of pressing but if you are a striker your main job is to score goals. Put someone in there that can.

[LetsPele]

Thomas

Cleur, Marcelo, Mrcela, Traore

Nieuwenhof,

Borello, Amalfitano, Ninkovic, N'bakato

Yengi

Would be my first team squad (if fit).

4:5:1, with one of the following depending on the opposition and/or state of the game:

Nieuwenhof DM, Amalfitano and Ninkovic CM, Borello and N'bakoto out wide.

Nieuwenhof and Amalfitano CM, Ninkovic AM. Borello and N'Bakoto out wide.

Nieuwenhof and Amalfitano DM, Ninkovic CM, Borello and N'bakato on the flanks, but narrow.

Can we get injury replacements for Beadling, Russell, Williams? (Can't recall whether Williams retired or not). That might give us more bite from the bench.

[BoyFromTheWest]

Do we need injury replacements? Why not develop the kids who look pretty decent and give them a go. CCM depends on their kids and they're doing okay.

[StringerBellend]

We wont score enough goals

Where are the goals going to come from on one in that team will get more than 6

[nmh94]

Tomorrow has 0-0 written all over it. My fantasy side reflects this.

Cue a 4-4 draw.

Probably. But what alternative first team line up is there, taking into account our current squad?

There isn't

And yesterday showed we are reliant on Ninko for creativity
