Yet another Melbourne team Adelaide hate

Baccus needs a decent partner in DM but he can go far only criticism is the discipline.

Well deserved extension. Hopefully he keeps building on his career with us.

Fair enough. With his scoring record absolutely inconsistent and then in regards to his injuries always stop start. But I remember back in the day whenever he was on the pitch everyone in the stadium had that belief we would score. The criticism about Juric has really come from his form over the last 2 years where it has been stop start for him. But I still remember his technique and intelligence up front. Some things don't come off for him but you cans see what he tries to do. I agree here as well but I am not sure if that was a popa affect because with Socceroos he didn't seem to have the same energy after the Asian Cup.

Ah my friend let me explain the love. The ACL trophy in 2014 does not happen without Juric. People always talk about Saba and Covic BUT everyone forgets how at the peak of his powers NO Asian team's defence could handle Juric. Against Guangzhou he was immense we was the key going forward and the penalty he scored was a big moment when you had a stadium full of people wanting him to miss it. The game against Al-Hilal the first leg at home we got dominated and had no attack for 58 minutes and then Juric comes on all of a sudden we start getting chances he scored the vital one but we should have been 2-0 had he not hit post with one of his strikes and Spira with his header from a corner Juric had won. He is immense people just remember the last 2 years where he has been shocking even I admit that BUT at his best he IS the number 1 striker for Australia. He always had injury issues but at Wanderers we always had him taken cared of with his injuries once he gets a run of games he just turns it on. But in saying all this I have feeling he is going to Croatia he still has connections there plus he always wanted to play in Europe.

In regards to keepers looking at no.2s in other teams Birighitti (upgrade) and (wait for it....) Tando Velaphi who would be about the same level as Janjetovic. Juric I would take him back. The guy won us a champions league trophy and assisted in Socceroos Asian cup victory 2015. Things haven't been great recently for him but I would take him in a heart beat. But most likely he may go back to Croatia to keep his Europe ambition going. The club should contact him anyway.

Best players BUT also very inconsistent

A lot of journos have back peddled. Their opinion came before the army of Matildas came in support of Stajic and of course other information in regards to who filled in the surveys (majority not the Matildas) and now Stajic has publicly said he has no idea why he was sacked and it starting to look like agenda by FFA and unfair dismissal. Seriously what a mess so much for the great hope in the code.

Is the champions league game only available through Kayo and foxsports?

Congrats to Sotirio criticized him for missing 2 1v1s against $ity and first time he has 1v1 here and he buries it. Must have been practising

Baccus and O'Doherty need to dictate play more. Too many times I saw they were not really in the game in terms of our attack which started from and Elrich or Russel pass and only if it found Roly would we continue to go forward. We bypassed those two or many occasions in this game. We need more contribution in general from our two DMs

still in shock we won lol

I liked Tongyik but its a bit fishy now 5 managers and no one has put him as a starter so maybe their issues in regards to his attitude or how he applies himself in training. Hope he gets it right he is a good defender.

Yes next season Babbel will really get it from us if he hasn't addressed the issues in the squad.

I was a big fan of Tongyik but I guess MB wasn't. He didn't sign a replacement but we got Yeboah and Duke which in the long term going to next season will be good but certainly short term would have preferred a defender.
