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

[hey shorty]

Huge test and we are backing in a very young side.

 

[hey shorty]

Battled so so hard tonight.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Great win against 12 men tonight, guess we’ll be off to $ydney on November 21

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Bloody fantastic result honestly we need to put in a complaint about Green tonight, that was blatant

 

[Runnin Blue]

Is there a competent referee in the A-League? I can’t think of one.

Feels like every opposition player knows you can go in studs up, 2 foot kamikaze on an Adelaide United player and get way with it to play next week.

Absolute joke.

 

[apollo_creed]

That was on another level and it was really the var who ****ed us over against victory.
Three red cards they should have had... 3 and it's not even debatable.

 

[hey shorty]

You know the officiating has been poor when Robbie and Bozza complain about it.

Something has to be said.

 

[chazwazza]

Kurz must be wondering what sort of incompetent competition he’s got himself into.
Our last two games have suffered disgraceful hacking and refereeing

 

[chazwazza]

Looking at The A-League schedule, we’re away before the FFA Cup final and Home after. Sydney home for both.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Increasing talk is we're big favorites to host the final. Leichardt can't host it because some work is being done there. Fingers crossed.

 

[chazwazza]

I think a telling issue will be Sydney missing out on hosting the final previously

 

[chazwazza]

Final to be played in Sydney.
I’m shocked to be sitting here.

 

[hey shorty]

No Lia or Absalonsen this week. Looks like a back 5 again at home.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

We have gone from 1 injury to 5 in 3 weeks and now have a thin bare squad all of a sudden coming up against City who didn't play midweek.

I'm not confident.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

You can't tell me Risdon's scissor tackle didn't have a part to play with Abso's injury.

 

[hey shorty]

You would think so, although it's a thigh strain rather than a cork.

Confident we can still score goals, it'll be stopping them that's the issue.

This United team is surprising me so far, but with these injuries, I think we may be in for a shellacking.

They're missing Fornaroli and Brandan still, I'm confident of getting something

They've been without them in the first 3 rounds so doubt that hurts them too much. Regan, Gulum, Absalonsen and Lia is too much to cover IMO, and we played midweek. A draw maybe but I don't see a win. I'll be very surprised if we win.

Matmour will start, Baba could start.

As I said, stopping them will be the issue

Of course. Elsey and Warland up against their front-third is quite frightening. I can definitely see a back 5 again.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Not surprised $ydney are hosting the Cup final, hope less than 20k turn up. If only they had hosted last years final as they should’ve but nope, the poster boy Cahill factor was too much for EFFA to ignore...

 

[hey shorty]

Baba injured again, not in the squad.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Baba injured again, not in the squad.

FFS!

 

[hey shorty]

He's really struggling with that leg.

Matmour for Absalonsen the only change to the 11. He's a very good replacement
