  • Borrello Gives Wanderers A Dozen Defeats

    mack

    By mack

    A giveaway gift from Antony Golec gave Brandon Borello an opening he took to score the only goal of a mostly dour 90 minutes of football in Brisbane.

     

    A complete lack of service for the strikers, coupled with an inability to retain the ball in midfield coupled with another calamitous defensive effort that better resembled an Under 10's game to hand the Roar a match that was otherwise petering out to a tame 0-0 draw.

     

    Neither side could claim any real bragging rights over their performance in the match, but it is the Roar who took the three points as a result of Brandon Borello's 53rd minute goal. Ex-Wanderers Jerome Polenz took advantage of sloppy work by Golec, who was attempting to play out from the back, as he swooped on a weak pass to winger Jaushua Sotirio. His simple lay-off gave Borello a corridor into the penalty area, and he obliged, with Nikolai Topor-Stanley overrunning the ball perhaps as a result of a slight touch from Golec. However the chance came about, Borello took one touch to set up a strike on his left followed by calmly sidefooting it past Dean Bouzanis.

     

    The Wanderers could barely string two passes together, their attack limited to aimless long balls down the park that more often than not resulted in Kerem Bulut being monstered off the ball by the Roar defence. Tomi Juric came on in the second half and it took until the 92nd minute for the Wanderers to truly threaten a goal, as Juric latched onto some clownshoes attempted defending from a Bouzanis long punt to get on goal, smashing his effort onto the crossbar.

     

    The Wanderers next loss match is against Melbourne City at Parramatta Stadium on Wednesday the 11th of March.

    I got slammed by some a month ago when I said nothing would change unless the coach changed.

     

    I've seen nothing that suggests Popavic has changed much ( aside from playing Yojiro deeper), he isn't trying anything new and the performances are still poor.

     

    We've a better squad than the performances suggest.

     

    The buck stops with the Manager.

    Do we even have a midfield ? because I didn't see then track back and defend all that much lol. Absolutely no urgency from most of our players today and again lazy passing.

    Yeah uhh... I'm usually content with something post-match but here, I got very little.

     

    Dour.

     

    Very dour.

     

     

    And it shits me to no end that we played amazingly against ESFC and Guangzhou, and then we dish that crap up. Also the fact that we have one of the best squads in the league - players like Covic, Spiranovic, Tanaka, Takahagi, Castelen, Juric and Rukavytsya who all should be amazing - and we still lose.

    I disagree I dont think buck stops with manager the players are underperforming and dont deserve to be in playing in the squad but no one is pressuring them for position.

    we simply dont have a functioning midfield we cant put consecutive passers together.

    There ought to be an investigation

    No investigation needed. We're just shite :(

     

    I didn't even watch this game, however I don't think I need too much info to know how the game ended up turning out (and how we would have ended up playing). As soon as I read that it was Golec's error which caused the goal my mind ended up saing "well you get what you pay for". Golec wouldn't be in any other a-league squad.

     

    Still waiting and hoping to be pleasantly surprised by our performance in at least one game this season. Just give us one boys. Please.

    It shows....they've given up.

    What annoys me is that if that is the case then let some of the youths play. At least we.get something out of these games. The ground was bad and the conditions awful so why not rest players like Spiral who looked disinterested and out of sorts

    Totally agree with the youths playing and I'm sure we will see some changes to our 'A League" squad but as for the pitch conditions, same for both sides... NTS, Spira and a few others may need a rest for a few weeks. I'm glad Popa gave Bouzanis a go after Covic's past few ordinary performances.

    I thought Sotirio was ok. Castellen although not at his best was better than most tonight.

    Hmmmm what other positives can I take from this...juric nearly scored a goal. Also liked Poljak and Larocca in first half.

    And that just about covers it for the positives I can squeeze out.

    Sotirio and bulut were the only 2 players that really tried hard, Bouzanis did ok. The rest of the outfield players were sub standard today. Very disappointing performance yet again.

    a game which summed up our season.

     

    there is too much space between the defence and attack.

    we are stretched and as a result the midfielders are getting destroyed.

     

    look at brisbanes' goal, the ball was won by polenz inside our half and it put them on the attack immediately.

    our fullbacks are playing too far back, and when they do win the ball, the transition takes too long.

     

    the players simply look too scared to commit into attacking positions and as a result we have no creativity.

    even if we had batistuta up front in his prime we still would lose as there is no supply to the striker.

     

    go back to season 1: press high, long ball, and quick transition.

    A coach cannot rest the first choice Australian centreback for an 18 year old he would be a laughing stock

    I think we are past being the laughing stock. If you watched the game, Spira had an awful game and if he is selected for the socceroos then we are going to miss him for a couple of weeks anyway.

      Its the coach, the football played last night and against Jordan was atrocious, Toure should have been hooked at half time and be replaced by either of the Kuol boys.

      Both goals were on Russell to be fair to him he's not a Left Back. That's all on Rudan

      Marko Rudan Discussion & Sackwatch

      By mack · Posted

      Pep Guardiola: "I'm going to defend you until the last day of our lives in the press". Rudan: Runs onto the field at full-time to berate an attacker for a goal coughed up by the two fullbacks being lazy, then slates him in a post-game interview and the press conference.  Sure, he apologised for "singling him out", did he apologise for singling out the wrong player to start with? The Mariners & Nix finished 5th & 6th in 21/22 when Rudan took over. Rudan's second year we finished 4th then lost to the smurfs in Round 1 while the Mariners won the Grand Final. 3rd year, CCM are the favourites for the Premiership, the Nix have a chance if CCM drop points, and we're back in 6th with a game tomorrow against a team who beat us 7-0 earlier in the season that if we lose we're out of the finals spots, and even if we made it, we're probably just going to lose to Victory in Week 1. I'm so over this ****. Rudan has had three years and done **** all to improve things, he's not done well enough to add all this pointless drama and bullshit.
