2025/26 Melbourne Victory Thread - Arthur Diles Deadman Walking

[Zidane98]

They'll either pull it all together and dick on them or fully shit the bed and get dicked on further

I feel like it is the latter

I'm loading up on a Brisbane 2 goal or more win.

I'm loading up on a Brisbane 2 goal or more win.

I just want to see some "radical" change,

Shake up the formation it clearly does not work for long periods of time and relies too heavily on shit finishers and poor defenders

The radical change would be Diles getting sacked.

He isn't up to it, and I am worried if we get a scrappy win all of a sudden its hey let's give Arty D another chance etc etc.

 

[Zidane98]

I can see the game going one of 3 ways

Drab 0-0 draw because Diles plays conservatively.

A spawny 1-0 win riding our luck.

Or it's over by half time with Brisbane a few up ending up 4-1 to Brisbane with us scoring a consolation goal in the 88th minute.

Diles sacked within 15 mins of final whistle in this scenario.

I will take option 3

 

[Zidane98]

I do worry a dodgy 1 goal win will be seen to giving Diles "more time".

Pretty much the entire Victory community were expecting Diles to be fired this week.

 

[Zidane98]

Oh and the club has to be ruthless and terminate Jing Reec right now. 10 touches only against the smurfs until he was subbed.

He just aint up to A-League standards. Get rid. From the few bits ive heard from insiders we supposedly have someone lined up in January up front.

Up until then it must be Nish or Vergos at CF and that's the end of it or if both of those are NA Grimaldi.


I do not want to see Jing Reec in a matchday squad ever again.

 

[Zidane98]

No Lino & Piscopo again in the travelling squad but also not on the unavailable injured list.


Time for the club to terminate Lino's loan unless he's going to be available in the near future. We are not a club that's funding the rehabilitation of a player for his parent club ffs.


Piscopo has always been a sicknote. Started so well last season, now basically useless.


Right now we have basically offering nothing to the squad:

Hamill
Lino
Piscopo
Jing Reec
Vergos


If I were in charge I'd terminate Hamill, Lino loan, Jing Reec with immediate effect. Give Piscopo fair warning that if he can't sort himself out he's on the chopping block too.


As soon as another CF is signed I would also terminate Vergos with the new CF and Nishan being the option going forward.

Holy **** Jing signed for 3 years whoever signed that contract needs to be sacked immediately

 

[Zidane98]

There are no words.

Roar 2 + goals easy money.

At least Nishan is on the bench.

 

[netslave]

I know aussie grounds arent great but this ground looks like a patchwork quilt

I hope you went big

 

[tigs2010]

Havent even turned on and weve conceded. Going to find something better to do

 

[Zidane98]

I hope you went big

My money is looking safe. Unlike Diles.

 

[Zidane98]

Reec misses a sitter.

 

[netslave]

unwatchable slop

1 of 3 ways

win
draw
loss

 

[netslave]

At least Sanros is having a crack now

 

[Zidane98]

That's a red surely

 

[Zidane98]

Just a casual stomp down the leg no intent to play the ball.

It's a clear and obvious red card every day of the week. We've been done many times by VAR for far less.

 

[Zidane98]

Is actually a better performance this half.

I was hoping match voided due to a dodgy pitch.

 

[netslave]

Nish and Mata on, if we cant score now we may as well throw in the towel.

 

[Zidane98]

I reckon VAR didn't get involved because they knew they should have referred a red earlier.

 

[Zidane98]

Just another instance of playing basketball there ignored by VAR.
