2013/14 Melbourne Victory Thread

[tigs2010]

So, apparently we have only scored one headed goal this season (I knew it wasn't many, but wasn't sure of the exact number) - this is embarrassing and totally unacceptable. I realise that the way we play is never going to create many header opportunities, but we have virtually no aerial threat at all from either open play or set-pieces and when you consider that there are only two methods via which a goal can be scored - feet and head - we are putting ourselves at a major disadvantage. Berisha might help to an extent next season, but we certainly need to become more of an all-round attacking threat.

On another note, Graham Arnold has been sacked from his Japanese club. If I were the Victory, I would be approaching him about replacing Muscat.

Milligan on the weekend and that's it?

Ansell scored one in the ACL as well but they're the only 2 I can think of

Troisi scored one in the ACL qualifier down in Geelong as well.

We need that home final spot!

Jets 2-0 have done the right thing by us. We now need to go get those 3 points in Wellington tomorrow.

 

[Murraj1966]

1 down, 3 to go.

Get the 3 points in Wellington and hope!

 

[Redalert]

I reckon its definitely winnable, Wellington don't have much to play for so hopefully we can grind out a result.

 

[Richo is God]

3-0!!!!

 

[Murraj1966]

2 down. 2 to go.

Come on you spuds from the other side of the city! Hold WSW and if Brissie hold CCM...

 

[Redalert]

Wellington down to 10 men, game's over but that just sealed it. Hopefully we can get a big win heading into finals.

Need 5 for the payback.

 

[Murraj1966]

Would happily concede 3 goals from here for a Heart draw and a Brisbane win tonight.

 

[giggler99]

Great performance first half our best for the season the build up to the third goal wow!! Best goal we have scored all season sexy football!!

 

[Dan Cooper]

Clinical display. Haven't seen us play better than that all season.

Two pieces of the jigsaw in place. Two to go.

 

[mcuzzy]

So happy.

By the way, is Traore allowed to play for Australia now?

No, and never will be the way I understand it.

 

[Richo is God]

Missed pen.!!!! C'mon fart

 

[Dan Cooper]

...and a rebound goal to Heart.

Heart leading 2-1 and the 3rd piece of the jigsaw could be about to fall into place!

 

[Richo is God]

CCM will probably score a 93rd minute winner now

 

[Murraj1966]

******* heart can't be trusted to do the simplest thing right

So it looks like a home final against Sydney next weekend (assuming Central Coast don't win)...

Etihad or AAMI?

 

[Dan Cooper]

We should have sewn 2nd place up weeks ago and not had to rely on everything falling our way in the final round - particularly having to rely on Heart doing anything other than lose.

 

[BlueBen]

Etihad or AAMI?

The Perth final last year was at Etihad and I think that the contract stipulates that finals are played at Etihad, could be wrong though.

EDIT: If it's at Etihad, the game can't be on Friday night (unless the A-League would play a game on Good Friday), Saturday night (Essendon vs. St Kilda) or Sunday (Western Bulldogs vs. Carlton).

So I don't know.

First final is Friday 7.30. Don't they do the GFA at etihad? Could be a problem

After that disappointment that was Melbourne Heart is now over
Third still up for grabs will at lest be nice if we can get that half ACL spot.
