A-League A-League Men Round 10 - Goodbye To 2023 With The Original Rivalry

[Pacman82]

On United now to at least pull a draw here, fire up ya crumbs!

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Bit disappointed with the crowd at Seagull Park for the 'Original Derby'

But I blame it with poor marketing and advertising mostly.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Bruno was offside by a country mile

Good header but why were Vuck fans booing ?

 

[nobbyiscool]

Unbelievable that this is 0-0, it's the polar opposite of the turgid slopfest we play last Saturday night, this has been a cracker.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Even Ace Rimmer is embarrassed by that cactus defending from Adelaide

 

[apollo_creed]

Veart doesn’t have much clue other than counter attack.

His subs have been horrendous as well.

 

[apollo_creed]

Bovalina is particularly terrible.

 

[Pacman82]

Fornaroli still killing it

 

[damicky]

Melbourne boys are still No. 1

 

[SM]

How is Gauci still in this league?

 

[Greasyrhys]

Pathetic last 20 minutes, no creativity going forward and continue to defend like headless chooks. Our club is full of no-hopers run by cheapskates.

 

[damicky]

How is Gauci still in this league?

He kept the Reds in the game in the second half tonight

 

[apollo_creed]

How is Gauci still in this league?

Have heard him interviewed, he’s in no rush. Has said he doesn’t want to go too early.

He's far too good to still be here. Could easily be doing a job in the Championship.

Cos for once we have a quality player waiting til he has 10 offers to choose from, rather than jumping at the first offer and going into witness protection for 5 years til they end up 25 years old and washed in the A-League.

Agreed

Tommy Glover doing well for Boro over there this season (as far as I can ascertain)

 

[Andonis1997]

Thanks for nothing, Adelaide Watch us lose to them next week here, as per usual haha

Yep. Better to have 10 teams from Championship / lower PL beating your door down than to take the first offer right away.

I'm sure Gauci will make the jump when the time is right. I can see him as someone who could possibly make the jump straight to a lower level PL team. He has all the attributes.

 

[Zidane98]

Was that Irankundas worst game ever? Turned the ball over regularly and offered little going forward.

 

[Cuzz09]

yep.

Seems rattled

He hasn't done much since signing the Bayern contract.

I'd be very keen on us getting him in as he suits our style perfectly and has much more potential growth in him than Allsop.

As Elmer said, Glover is holding his own in the Championship and Gauci is a far better keeper than him.

Its as if he just want to hurry up and get the hell out of Adelaide!

I don't mind this attitude. We've seen a few cases of Aus/NZ talent jumping early and never amounting to anything. Arzani, de Silva and Singh spring to mind (this is one of my concerns with Irukanda despite the talent he has).

Still, I imagine the offers will come very soon, he's far and away the best keeper in the league and I shudder to think how many goals we'd ship with our amateur-level defence.

Oh make no mistake, I think it's a commendable attitude, I just think he's being overly cautious and should back himself at some point soon.
