Sydney FC Steal Last Parramatta Derby

I sit in Bay 45 right behind the away bench. When they scored late the whole smurf bench jumped up turned around and gave it to us.

 

One of the their players threw something (a bottle?) into our bay and hit someone. We told the steward and they got the cops. Hope the dog gets a fine and suspended. Grub.

Popa out don't wanna be Graham's bitch anymore

 

 

Maybe if "we could sign" a decent striker we could win' since Saba has quoted Popa a bully" I'd love to see what Saba could of done for us after that goal in wcc

It's not even about a decent striker, we can't afford to have four front/attacking players getting opportunities & not taking them. Pio got dropped but it was the same problem as the last few weeks, just need to be more clinical.

Our finishing isn't great, in my opinion, the bigger issue is the quality of the chances we create and our less than ideal final third set up and options.

We play too flat up front and lack movement, to name a couple.

In all honesty at A-League level, the chances created are good enough to be buried.

 

If you refer to the fourth post, I agree there are a few tweaks that need to made especially against teams who sit so deep.

Bulut  could finish, I agree but he had to go coz you can't have 1 player thinking they are above the rest of the team. Popa has proven this with Saba and Bulut. If he was that good he wouldn't be on the outer in the Greek league, not surprisingly just like Saba.

It will not happen, but what are the chances of we release Pio and sign Bulut during the transfer period?

Look at the squad space we have left, he'd have to be signed on for minimum wage. Can't see Pio being released.

We were gone after 20 minutes, miss chances like that in a Derby you cant expect to win.  WTF Mitch, square ball son, WTF Castelan, take him on, WTF Redmaune come or go, not both, WTF NTS challenge him in the box there, WTF Neville just WTF Neville.  Jamieson was best on ground.

Second goal wasn't redmayne's fault imo. 3 players got drawn to the initial ball. Lack of discipline.

Cause jamo knows what the derby means to us

Saying that the finishing needs to be better is a bit of a cop out. Most teams can't afford or find a clinical striker let alone wingers or midfielder. We have maybe three in the whole league.

Sydney FC is officially our Bogey team.

Yep, and you'll probably find that the teams they play for make up the top 3.

We couldn't put a shot on target and could/should of been 3-5 nil up at half time. They had 2 chances took them both.

 

Reddy must start next week. Redmayne hesitating twice and caught out both times. Goal keeping 101..He who hesitates is lost...

 

Vidosic was a passenger and except for this goal offered very little.

 

Neville is useless and wouldn't get a start with the Jets, why are we giving him game time here?

He needs to be pointed in the right direction .Why play back when the AWAY team is leading and happy to park the bus?

 

Jamo had a blinder and was Man of the match.

 

Oh F*ck this hurts... more so than any other loss before.

Refer to my post on goalkeeper, Popa has a tough choice to make

 

I thought Vidosic had an okay game, everyone has to take blame for not finishing. Can't blame Vidosic without blaming bridge, Castelen & to a lesser degree Nichols.

 

Neville is one of those no-frills a-league players. He isn't a star, he takes up minimum salary cap whilst doing a decent job week in week out. Yes he can improve but had an okay game (but those crosses siggggghhhhhhh)

Hopefully they can pin it on Ali Abbas 

Look our club is by no means poor they need to get serious and make it happen

Sydney FC is officially our Bogey team.

Yep.

@prydz

I agree, defending was very poor (just like the first goal) but his mistake in judgement probably threw the defence into disarray. You'll be surprised the difference a quality goalkeeper makes when he dominates his box & the confidence it gives his back 4. Case in point: Covic in ACL.

Did any flags or our Tifo get stolen tonight?

 

I saw a 2 lads, 1 I know is part of the cove, come in to bay 61 at half time and was communicating with someone in either the North Terrace or on the West terrace by using the flash in his phone (I couldn't tell where he was looking).

 

Was weird and looked like they were up to something.

Bulut  could finish, I agree but he had to go coz you can't have 1 player thinking they are above the rest of the team. Popa has proven this with Saba and Bulut. If he was that good he wouldn't be on the outer in the Greek league, not surprisingly just like Saba.

Wasn't Bulut made an offer that he rejected? Whether or not the offer was deliberately lowball or is another thing, but obviously Popa was sufficiently happy to risk Bulut accepting the offer to be a squaddie.

 

Having said that, white line fever would not be a good fit with the more controlling football we're playing this year.

Come on mate, seriously we create enough opportunities to win these games, it is not a cop out, it is what is happening.

 

I agree quality players are a rare commodity in the aleague but we've got some pretty decent players in our attacking 4, they should be doing better.

Everytime Neville is about to cross you can tell we are going to lose possession.

This is correct, he was offered an extension & turned it down to try Europe one more time.

I agree they should be doing better, we just disagree in what facet of the play.

 

Agreeing to disagree isn't a problem.

We have some really good players, but the fact is we have p1ssed up the last 2 games (big games too) by not taking chances and being picked off by more clinical opposition. If we don't change this, we won't win anything.

Thank you for taking out the rest of the conversation, I'm on a mobile and can't really do that.

 

Are you asking which facet that is or correcting my grammar?

Can we sign Jose mourinho

Waste of money. He's a crap striker.

100% on this, hope Popa spends extra time doing shooting practice this week

After today's performance I have to say I don't agree with Popa that we are good and don't need to sign new players. If Pio was not injured why would the marquee be used in the last few minutes?

Are you saying why did he bring him on at the 80th minute or are you saying he shouldn't have brought him on?
