4 / 10 Home AFC Match / Stallions Laguna

[Roger the Cabin Boy]

how dreadful Torres' crossing was.

I'm not sure if it was Torres but in the first half plenty of crosses were coming in from our right so i guess it was him I thought that the problem was that there was no depth in our attack. We had three or four attackers in a flat line and the crosses were wasted when they landed behind them. I get that they were keen to score but its important that at least one hangs back to run onto the ball or pick up the scraps. I didnt notice it so much in the second half though.

Wilson. Easily our worst player. Constantly offside.

And coughing up possession a lot

How good was the stink eye from denzel when he realised he got hooked on a hatty?

Not a fan of that tbh. Selfish

As long as he doesn’t carry on like kepa when he was being subbed for the shootout I’m ok with it.

He came off and did the right things.

But as a striker I want to see that hunger.

And coughing up possession a lot

He just seemed a step behind everything, slightly missed the runs, passes slightly off, missed the first and best options a lot. Harsh on the kid, but I can’t see what’s making him start. If Theos engine isn’t up to 70+ minutes then that position seems to be the glaring weakness at the moment.

Consider the shit time hes had in trying to get on the field for us. I think its a diff situation to if hes playing week in and out.

Well I take that back then.

I was exactly on halfway at the back of the top grandstand, sitting with two highly credentialed coaches (two C licences and one B licence in our group of three), one of whom coached Nizzy, and they were saying the same thing. The missed passes must have been the ones putting us under the most pressure.

At times one of the coaches was yelling for Nizz to be involved because he was not showing as much as normally does.

Interesting. I had Nizzy as my MoM, closely followed by Torres and Doka. I thought Nizzy's vision for setting up play and his control was very good.

Despite the score the whole game was riddled with many errors. I just put that down to early season rust, a largely new squad, and the shocking conditions.'

So Victory fans rated Wilson? - gee they must be used to seeing some shit then. He wouldnt look out of place in a Walmsley/Mediocrity side.
Not good enough to start for us and not quite sure what he would add off the bench either.
Jury (me) still out on Torres - will either come good and be the next maverick Kwas or Beni type player or another Hoole.

Funny I just said to my son that Victory really rated him and we’re really upset when he left. On that basis and the fact Monty rated him as well, I am inclined to give him a bit longer to prove himself. But not in the starting 11.

 

[Stuartmcateer]

It was a wall of cake.

It was a wall of strapping tape and deep heat ???

 

[VonBowellski]

Has anyone heard what happen to Vukovic? How he hurt himself and how bad is it? it was never shown on tv last night.

I watched the post match, he felt something so they took him off as a precaution. Know more in a few days.

 

[Allreet?]

Looked like Vuka was trying to strap his quad.

 

[Ben10]

Vuka just wanted to give Warshawsky a run, what a guy

Totally agree about Wilson.
But Torres was excellent? A hand in most goals and scored the best of the bunch. Yeah some heavy touches and stray passes but literally all of our players had those moments…

He can't be a Hoole. His work rate is terrific and he is aggressive. He is also really quick off the mark. His decision making is what needs to improve. His potential is incredible.

As a replacement for Benny, he's doing fine. Benny was prone to a heavy touch too. Like all the new guys, give them half a season then reassess.

He was cold and wet - he just wanted a hot shower.
