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

[hey shorty]

Pretenders.

We were never contenders

 

[Magma]

outstanding bit of play. cavallo has been a find

 

[Greasyrhys]

Get in, certainly reward for our dominance

 

[Magma]

good win. elsey motm for mine

 

[Greasyrhys]

Another handy win. Big test coming up on Saturday

 

[hey shorty]

Always nice to beat that lot.

 

[apollo_creed]

Second would be nice unfortunately Sydney just need to win the other game (the one where they don’t play us)

 

[Greasyrhys]

Not the start we needed

 

[Greasyrhys]

Typical, nearly equalised then conceded again. Wish le pomdre never returned

 

[hey shorty]

They're a bit too clinical for us.

We work hard but don't have that cutting edge on a consistent basis. Different salary cap when you wear Sky Blue

 

[Greasyrhys]

Doubt we’ll even make the finals now, too many big heads in our team & not well coached yet again

 

[apollo_creed]

Actually agree. Veart is limited as a coach but I think player power is key there. They didn’t like the last couple/being questioned and having someone like Veart suits our group. Not that it’s a good thing but the results have been ok, all things considered. We are limited when we can’t counter though, don’t think Veart or the team has much of an idea when space is at a premium.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Just need a point tonight to guarantee finals, can still get a home final with a win plus either ccm draw/lose or the roar lose their games. Hope the players will be motivated

 

[apollo_creed]

Ability is more of an issue than motivation.

 

[hey shorty]

Probably couldn't be playing a better opponent to get that point either. If the decent Adelaide turn up tonight we'll be fine

 

[Greasyrhys]

We’ve been dead-set PUTRID since scoring the first goal

 

[hey shorty]

Yep, time to wake up

 

[hey shorty]

Fair strike though

 

[hey shorty]

And we so know you can score against this mob

 

[hey shorty]

Red card will help, just keep the ball and the chances will come

 

[Greasyrhys]

C’mon late winner

 

[Greasyrhys]

Disappointing to not get a home final, players have only themselves to blame

 

[hey shorty]

Still, as I said time and time again.....

We'll make the finals.

 

[apollo_creed]

Still, as I said time and time again.....

We'll make the finals.

The subs at the end were embarassing. Content to waste time and settle for the result. The time taken for our players to get off the pitch was telling, as is two subs in injury time pushing for a winner. Would want to win the away final after that..

Given the way we've coughed up late goals I didn't mind us playing possession for a bit

We still had enough chances to kill it off.
