Australia Cup round of 32 CCM vs Sydney FC

[Corsair]

Oh dear, aqualina not doing well.

 

[Meerkat]

This is so poor to watch. WTF? Getting beaten by the Sydney old boys.

 

[Meerkat]

Defence and passing.. shocking.

 

[shipwreck]

We are absolutely rattled.

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

Should be 3. Come on Monty

 

[Insertnamehere]

Some really naive play there. Ordinary defending from a few guys.

 

[true believer]

gee you'd almost bring on stormy and windust

 

[Wombat]

Back 5 look horrible. Balard the brightest for us but we are really missing Izzy alongside him.

 

[Corsair]

Need someone to organize the defence, hope this new visa CB we're hearing about is vocal and intelligent.

 

[turbo]

That's Aqualina again... Sorry mate that's not good enough

It’s not, but he’s also getting bugger all support from his winger and the CMs.

 

[shipwreck]

I think the combination of Kuol and Aqualina on the same side has exposed us alot on that side. I noticed Monty switched Kuol in the last 15 or so.

Couple of big decisions to make here

 

[Michael]

Started well, great composed finish from beni who strangely had some very ordinary touches for the rest of the half. Aquilina is good going forward but regularly caught too high.
fazz’s yellow was clown worthy from the ref, was a very good tackle that didn’t even get that flog burgess.
Max looks brilliant.
All forward players dangerous.
penalty was unlucky with Hally just falling over. Verrrry soft 2nd goal. Sozer is not confident with a ball at his feet.

still very winnable. Despite the boys fading a little in the last 10.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Lack of communication and tracking from Balard and Beni caused the second goal but Aquilina should never have let that pass happen.

Lost control of the midfield beyond the first 20 minutes. Need to get control back of the midfield if we're to come back.

Neither Kuol or Beni are defensive powerhouses. And that’s usually fine with our resident terrier cleaning everything up. Unfortunately he isn’t playing today.

 

[Michael]

Get cumdog on with garang, ruhs and Ayongo/beni causing havoc with the speed and that’s a good recipe.

Agreed. He just casually strolled over and allowed a through ball into the box.

Absolutely no way should you be getting those balls into the box like that, Lewis would have sprinted right at him

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Missing Urena so far, no one is really linking our attacking third and midfield. Hopefully Ayongo can step up in the second half.

Honestly, playing 442 we lose the midfield in most of our matches. It’s to be expected.

but you are right, some of the tracking has been average. Comes down to fitness at this point too though.

 

[sydmariner]

I just said the same.. I’m certain this ref has screwed us over before?

Yes, he has he sent birraz off against Wollongong Wolves last season.

 

[Corsair]

Agreed. He just casually strolled over and allowed a through ball into the box.

I think we'll see Roux for the second half.
