Yep. Our attack is still ok but defensively we are going to be up against it and defensively with our best side on the park we look questionable enough. And I dont think this manager will change the way we play with these injuries so expect us to get at them today.. and probably concede about 4.

GET IN MELBOURNE !!!!

Tidy finish by McLaren against an admitedly undermanned Reds defense.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

This will get messy.

 

[Magma]

two conceded from nothing and not asking much the other way. nothing to turn to on the bench either. looks a long day.

 

[apollo_creed]

Too many players missing. Probably 6 of our best 11 with a small squad to begin with. Pretty hard to go away against one of the better sides with so many outs.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Wait for City to concede a cheap goal right before halftime. It's what we do

 

[Elmer_Judd]

That is a dreadful miss, lol. City get out of jail.

Both teams aren't real good in defence

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Both teams are real good in defence

Ever since we came in as Melbourne Heart, our defence always falls asleep after getting 2 zip up. Until we score a 3rd without conceeding (even then i would be nervous), Adelaide are still in this.

 

[Magma]

at least we responded well in the 2nd half and probably unlucky to not get a point. hopefully thats not a trend

 

[hey shorty]

And they still play Wonderwall ??

All of the songs they use, it's one that another club in the league already uses.

Lol

 

[Greasyrhys]

Only a one-goal loss, must better second 45.

Now for the cup final, will be very disappointed if that ends up the same result as today

 

[Elmer_Judd]

OPEN WIDE FOR MELBOURNE SOKKAH

Always good to beat the Pissants, although the 2nd half by City was crud and Reds really deserved a point (if not won it) with a couple of very close, unlucky chances. R

We need to find other attacking avenues aside from J-Mac, whom admittedly is in a purple patch.

3 points is 3 points though. Hope Noone is okay ..

 

[General Giant]

Nice.

Yeah, I have never liked that myself, although you stole that from Man City yourselves

Wish they would play the original Melbourne Heart song post home game win, that was great.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Nice.

Is Luke Brattan playing for the Smurfs this arvo ? Still a fan of the lad, who left City on good terms, unlike Bruno Floparoli, who is a Judas Dog.

Played last week

Cheers, thought he didn't play last week (didn't watch the game though)

 

[Andonis1997]

Very happy with that performance. Sotirio is still terrible though, I'm afraid. Can't pass, can't dribble.

How is Bruno judas when he was forced out?

Don't let the facts get in the way of a nice melt.

What are the facts ??

 

[Elmer_Judd]

How is Bruno judas when he was forced out?

He was 'forced out' because he had secret talks with another A League team (Sydney) during the season, which resulted in Warren Joyce (under instructions from administration apparently) to stop playing him.

He is a two faced snake in my opinion, Joycey was an ordinary gaffer, but i certainly don't believe at all he can be blamed for Bruno leaving.

Anyhow life goes on, Jamie McLaren is a pretty damn good replacement
