2020/21 Melbourne Victory Thread

Half time talk must have been a belter.

I think Robbie Slater is right, we have no leadership on the park! Can you imagine Kev or Valeri allowing us to just play the ball sideways and backwards?
We need someone to take this club again by the balls!

Let's see if Evans remembers a foul throw the next time a player picks up 20 yards along the line.

Piss poor effort after half time, no Rojas for next game I'm guessing, better find a quick fix.

 

[dwwaino]

I'll take the first half as something to build on.

Evans is still a pole smoker though, time for the league to bring in some Asian refs.

 

[dwwaino]

Crocombe can FO too.

 

[craigos]

3-1 up and making subs with 10 seconds to play.

Jesus.

 

[giggler99]

That was the laziest most pedestrian half I've seen us play! I thought it would have been difficult to out do anything from last season but we already did in our first match!

First half gave me hope, second half

First half filed me with hope, second half

My wife got a red for abusive language

Brebs making a point about match fitness. To be fair Brisbane already had a game under their belt.

fitness or not how does a team come out in the second half looking like they don't give a rats toss bag and just pass the ball sideways and backwards and the odd long ball? Our midfield was dominating the first half.

watching it live roux was spent from the 50m mark.. rojas pulled up lame 20m in an fought on .. barnett looked awful like ressies level npl league player..

two poms did well an anderson showed alot ... butterfield is a busy player but just lack that polish hope he finds it

Seems like fan wise the biggest issue was exiting.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Games like last night make me angry. You want to believe as a fan that these guys are not only living their dream - but they're living the dream of millions of us. Imagine being a professional footballer!

So it would be safe to assume that effort is a given, right? Especially in the first game of the season.

I don't know how Butterfield and Folami can look so good in the ACL, including the first hour against the eventual champions, and just look so disinterested in round 1(2) against Brisbane Roar. In the ACL Butterfield was looking like Valeri, last night he was looking like Poulsen.

Crowcombe isnt good enough to be a #1 keeper in the A League. Not sure why we arent pulling all stops out to sign Langerak.

 

[Zidane98]

Gestede looked way off the pace. Wonder how long Shotton will take to get up to speed.

 

[craigos]

Why is Acton on the bench? If he's fit he should be the starting keeper no questions asked.

 

[dwwaino]

Crocombe was s**t. Pretty sad state of affairs that Acton is probably a better option.

 

[peternorth]

Can we re-sign Moss?

 

[Zidane98]

Why exactly was Crowcombe signed? Acton already is our #2 keeper. We didn't need another #2 keeper.

 

[dwwaino]

Should put Broxham in goals

 

[Zidane98]

 

[Zidane98]

And we have a bye in the next round. Hope the club can organise some practice matches, we will be underdone by the time we play AUFC away on the 23/1.


On the flip side of the coin Robbie Kurse might be fit after an entire herd of pigs fly.

 

[Zidane98]

Yeah, not sure why they didn't just open up all the exits instead of herding us out through a few exits. I thought it was stupid to access the North End you had to enter the stadium from gate 7 if you were coming from Richmond.
