Western Sydney Wanderers vs Sydney FC 16/01/2015 7:30PM

 

 

Tickka takka football with no end product leaves you open to this ****. How many times did the ball move sideways or backwards. So frustrating ******* sick of derby games.

Conceded 2 goals from set pieces and should have had at least 3 goals before the break...I think I prefer the way we were in 2012-13-14 years when we were just a rock solid squad.

Put a berisha up front on the end of those chances created and tell me who runs out the victors? Until we have proven goal scorers up front we can rely on we wont be a threat to any title. They scored two goals from set pieces and took both chances well to secure a win which will propell their season while a 3rd loss in a row at the hands of ccm will throw ours into a form slump. Thats football though!

Perfect away team game plan... Score off the set piece and sit back and counter. Meanwhile we **** around up front and piss away chance after chance.

ESFC played it perfectly tactically.

The problem is not our striking options. No one we've had up front this season has done anything.

The issue is the way we play this system. Interesting issues for Popa.

And that shouldn't be a shock to anyone. He always has them well organised, so if you don't take your chances you don't beat them. Over it. Stupid game anyway. Now I have to stay up all night to watch villa get pumped again.

Spot on, we all knew how they'd play it, we had no answer.

Says something when the most incisive play comes from a bloke who is a fringe player in his first league game of the season (Baccus' one-two for the shot)

It's our final third. Period. We lose composure on front of the goal. Everything else is perfect. We just lose out where it actually counts.

Gutted.

The system is not the issue because we create chances the problem is burying them. Anyway **** it once again we dominate stats only to come away with zero points like the first derby. Late minute winners for those carnts after them being second rate all match.

How many times did we have good position, and set pieces. The opportunities are being created. But no one finishes. The pass goes astray or the moment to shoot disappears. That's what needs work for mine and has needed work for a long long time.

The system is fine.

I said it's the WAY WE PLAY THE SYSTEM. Namely the final third we're all talking about.

Oh man I was in agreement.

Horrifying.

How many points have we lost this season in the final 5 minutes?

Cannot win games if you don't score and let the opposition score everytime.e they venture forward.

Deflated

We are fine everywhere but finishing.  If your marquee man is a striker and he comes on at 75 mins then either, a) he is not fully fit or b) you don't trust him and he is on his way out.

To win anything you need to score and this is still our Achilles heel. Teams will sit back and wait to hit us with a set piece.

If "way we play the system" = "not scoring" then okay but I think we are playing the system fantastically.

Arnold is in Popas head. I cant recall if we have beaten them at home either.

So you lay most of the blame on our striker?

Yeah. Once. Santa scored

On the match:

Lineup: Expect the same starting lineup as the City match

Opposition: I can't see ESFC playing like City, high press, high intensity & all out attack. I'm thinking that Sydney will follow Adelaide's blueprint which was to play a high defensive line but compress all 10 players in the half way line. Happy to concede possession & happy to play without the ball but look to hit on the counter.

On WSW: Same as the last 12 games but a key difference. We need to be more clinical in front of goal, we can't afford to have 5 shots for every goal. The biggest issue since the Victory match (Newcastle aside) was that we haven't taken our chances & then have paid the price in not getting the 3 points. Perfect example is second half vs city, 8 shots on target with 4 big saves from Sorenson.

I hate to be that guy

If we finished chances like victory did last night we score 6. Simple.

Let's face the other teams know exactly how we play. We are very predictable, all they have to do is defend and play the counter attack. We even give them plenty of time to get back because we won't go forward until the 10-20 passes sideways and backwards....so frustrating

Also, I don't blame the young kid missing in front of goal, he isn't a striker & doesn't have the composure that striker's have to finish. He needed to put the ball into the roof of the net.

Majority of possession dominate by us, castelen / Pio to miss a plethora of chances. Janjetovic to become the best keeper the a league as ever seen. Ninkovic or holosko to convert a horrible defensive blunder in the dying minutes. Rinse and repeat.

**** this post was accurate, should start gambling

When it comes to Derby day, form hardly means a thing. Either do your usual tactics and selections. 

It comes down to experience and grittiness. And for this one the player that stands out for me is Santa. He needs to start, even just for 60 minutes. We need to hit the ground running. Pio here can get a rare chance off the bench.

- Romeo is very ineffective starting in these matches, but off the bench he is a different prospect. 

- Hammil gets the nod for me, derby time screams experience and wanting to prove your self. No point trying Neville or Dimas, thats for another time. Hammil has the chance to show himself and play simple brick wall football.

- Redmayne still gets the nod. after this its well and trully his to lose.

In the interests of re-cycling and saving bytes this is now the defacto Derby thread...

In b4 lock 

I love how everyones so doom and gloom.
Were clear 2nd, have the second highest goals scored. Yet we need wholesale changes..... What do people expect, us to be 20 points ahead? its part of being in a competition, you lose every once in a while.

That said a Hammil Redmayne combination has misplaced back pass written all over it

Oh and stick sotirio on the bench, he's actually being well lately

You'll be eating your words when that 90th minute injury time winner somehow floats into our net.

I agree, but not winning a derby in over two years is somewhat concerning, when we are clearly the better team.

No Pio,  not even in the squad...
