Adelaide United FC Thread - 2019 FFA Cup Champions (Kings of the Cup)

When was the tear? If recent, fair enough (I knew nothing of it if so). I believe he has had ample time to get fit however and the fact he isn't even fit enough for the bench is wrong IMO

No need to rush him, it's a long year. Gives us time to give some kids a run, and they're going alright.

Training by yourself isn't exactly ideal prep for a season.

If its just an issue of match fitness then even having him on the bench yesterday would’ve been useful.

10 minutes...

The club should be more open re: injury and fitness situations. We don’t get much out of them to be honest.

Just saw Yared Abetew in a moon boot on the news. Another defender down.

He got injured playing for Vuck

It's why he was off at HT yesterday, Strain comes back in.

Halloran also trained with the team yesterday afternoon according to Kitto on FNR.

Was going for a run at lunch today around Semaphore/Largs and noticed a man at a picnic table with his family and the haircut looked familiar then noticed the AUFC polo.. so in my perspired state gave the coach a thumbs up from a distance and got a wave of acknowledgement back. Not sure if he interpreted the source of thumbs up from being from an AUFC fan or just a local weirdo. Nonetheless. Assume it was him.

Not overly confident for tomorrow but looking forward to it, even with good players back I think we’ll still be pretty unsettled. Elsey our will leave us exposed for defensive depth again. How many games would’ve Maria and Boland played together?

Boland Elsey and Blackwood all confirmed outs

 

[hey shorty]

Don't mind that, D'Arrigo has shown a fair bit so far.

Blackwood has been in good form but Toure is on fire, Opseth very good off the bench.

Elsey is the tricky one, particularly from the set piece. Marrone is decent enough in general play but we lack height at corners and free kicks. Strain comes back in as well as Halloran.

Hopefully we can get it done, gonna be a great night for it.

 

[hey shorty]

Big big crowd building.

Troisi to play this weekend according to the Man himself

 

[apollo_creed]

Yep hopefully we beat last years crowd and hit 15

 

[Aussie_boy]

If he meant that he's a genius

 

[hey shorty]

TOURE !!!!

Definitely looked like it - bouzanis left a gap to cover the far post.

 

[hey shorty]

Kids got game too.

Kusini Yengi is supposed to be better..... can't wait for him to get fit.

Yeah he definitely did, I'm just not used to Australian players being able to score goals like that, especially for AU.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Toure is a special talent.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Good first half, hope we can keep it up

 

[apollo_creed]

Thought they were the better side before the goal. Kitto has struggled big time, Halloran extremely wasteful.

 

[apollo_creed]

Kitto’s yellow is a worry as well.

 

[hey shorty]

Kitto’s yellow is a worry as well.

Maria shifts to left back, bring Opseth on and move Toure wide..... the kid can play there, he's very very special as SD said.

 

[ams4crows]

Bring it home boys 45mins to go!!

 

[SloaneysDanger]

GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hey shorty]

This kid......... wow
