Adelaide United 2016/17 season thread

[hey shorty]

The 2 best teams made the GF, plain and simple.

We didn't perform on the night at all but we can be proud of our season. With the number of injuries we had through the year to finish 3rd, win the FFA Cup and qualify for the ACL playoff, its a huge achievement for a club our size.

The A League awards are on tonight. Tarek Elrich has won goal of the year and Jimmy 'Draco Malfoy' Jeggo has won NAB Young Player of the Year.

 

[hey shorty]

Shock horror Eugene wins his 4th Goalkeeper of the Year award.

Chelo finished 2nd in the Player of the Year even with his injuries, the runaway winner........ former Red Nathan Burns who is also looking for a new home.

Get him back here.

 

[hey shorty]

Im led to believe he wants to head to Europe, with Eugene as our Aussie Marquee we couldn't fit him in sadly.

Reds have 3 spots on their roster, with Boogard leaving, and Palanca & Watson to be released.

Rumours of a 24 year old CD signed already.

Need a poacher.

I'm hearing Zac Anderson.

 

[hey shorty]

The last CB we got from the Mariners ended up OK. Means a VISA player is coming in up front you'd suspect.

Watto will be missed, great squaddie and consumate pro. Glad he got a goal too.

Seeing Muscat's head in that toilet seat trophy seems appropriate somehow.

 

[FAITH]

still feel it was a wasted season by us.
I expect both Sydney sides to be very strong next season along with MV

Epic choke by United last night, blowing a 2 goal lead to lose 3-2 to Villarreal.

Were 2-1 up with 5 minutes to go.

 

[hey shorty]

Epic choke against a La Liga side....... spare me.

A win would have meant nothing and the loss does too. Its all about attracting these teams.

When you blow a lead in the last 5 minutes it's a choke, regardless of who you play against.

We were totally dominated from start to finish, had we of won it would have been robbery.

2015/16 will be a very lean year.

No strikers, no goals and no attacking flair.

Bring back Josep.

This Amor guy may have been a gun player but he is looking like a dud manager. Maybe we can get Jose Mouirinho to coach after Chelsea fire him.

 

[Pugsley]

Greg Griffin can tell his story walking too.

 

[hey shorty]

Reckon Amor is doing as expected with the cattle he has at his disposal. You know the squad is thin when we are rejoicing the return of Bruce Djite.

We sell Mabil and don't use the money, we lose our lynchpin of defence and replace him with a dud import from the Wanderers and Carrusca is feeling the pinch of 3 years of injuries.

Griffin and co have done a few great things such as bringing in Gumby and Amor, getting our youth team into the local league and also finally building a training facility. But IMO they have little idea on how to run the club, this isn't the SANFL boys.

 

[FAITH]

financially cant compete with the big clubs

 

[Alex99]

Getting bent over again tonight.

Still have not scored a goal from our own boot. Can not hit the back of the net.

Where is Rocca from Western Sydney.

It's going to be a long season for the united boys.

 

[Alex99]

0 - 2

Game over.

Amor won't last till Christmas.

City were 2 - 0 up at this point last week and lost.

City were 2 - 0 up at this point last week and lost.

We haven't scored a goal from our own boot this season. We have played 4 1/2 games.

We are not coming back.

 

[hey shorty]

Best weve looked, we actually look half threatening tonight. Get Mate off he's rubbish but we could score a couple.

Mooy too good for the A League.

 

[Alex99]

GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

but for them

0 - 3

 

[Alex99]

In Josep first year as coach, we were not very good but you could see something. You could see his structure and idea on how he wanted his team to play.

We are not seeing that with Amor. We are looking like a rabble in front of goal and now can not defend. I'm calling it now, he needs to go and we need someone who can actually coach.

He was a gun player, he coached kids but he doesn't have a plan on how he wants them to attack or even defend. He has to go.
