Perth GloryFC Thread-2018/19 PREMIERS!! FEAR OUR WRATH!!

[Tommycash]

Apparently we have been linked with this guy, member of the Uruguayan World Cup side. Would appear to be a very good pick up if we get him. As for the source, some facebook page so it may well just be rubbish.

Surely we couldn't give him a good enough wage?

Does seem odd. The guy is literally in the prime of his career and just broke into the National side. I don't know what the wages in Mexico are like though.

Also Torres and Nick Feely are no longer listed on the club website (new players aren't up yet), so maybe that indicates they are gone?

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Went to the game last Wednesday where we played a 3-5-2. I think perhaps just one more decent attacking player and we've got our squad. Maybe even a striker unless Knowles steps up (if he gets a new contract). Jamal Reiners is still listed as a Glory player. Completely forgot about him.

 

[Tommycash]

Apparently played four at the back verse Gwelup, Mrcela, Spira, Castro and Davidson didn't play (so might we expect each to start tonight?) Looking forward to it anyway.

 

[ioppolo]

Nice and wet. Who else is going?

 

[peppy la pew]

Don't know who the commentators are but I wish they would STFU about themselves, and just call the game

You don't have to dissect every pass you figjams

 

[perthblue]

like the look of Davidson and Ferreira

 

[Van_Dyke]

Davidson was really good, liked what I saw from him

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Liked the look of ferrera too

He and Davidson definitely the stand outs of the new recruits

 

[Genesis67]

Ferreira looked very good.

Found it interesting how they almost always tried to play out from the back, via width, rather than going long, even when pushed right back.

Enjoyable experience from block 547.

I wasn't sold on Liam Reddy coming into the season but he was pretty damn good tonight. Whoever started RB, Franjic or Lowry I think, they got cut up all night.

I liked that we actually took a hold of the game once Chelsea put all their youth players on, I would've been a bit worried if we couldn't take the initiative against Chelsea Youth XI

 

[gaskin]

I think we looked much better as soon as Castro came on. We actually looked like creating a decent chance.

I was in the active bay and I want to say that if you buy a ticket in the active bay, don't f******* complain and ruin it for everyone.

That was Neville. Franjic was at LB.

 

[Reynolds Number]

Yeah a big * you to the librarians who dobbed both active supporter groups (Perth and Chelsea) to security over them standing and singing.

Now I know how that Brisbane Lions fan felt a few weeks ago.

 

[ioppolo]

I'm guessing that's what the booing was about 25 minutes in?

Is Neville generally an average plod? Surely not that bad in the A League?

Yeah about that time. It went on for probably the last 10-15 minutes of the 1st half.

Yes.

 

[Genesis67]

The thing I really noticed was the difference in the speed of ball movement between the two. I’d like to think our boys took note of it and said to themselves “that’s what we have to aspire to”.

Chelsea did not get out of first gear. Yeah sure we were better last 30 mins but these guys really weren’t even at their best and they picked us apart first 60. Pedro, Jorginho and Fabregas were exquisite with their passing and it was slow and quick wherever necessary.

 

[Tommycash]

Anyone know why Knowles has been released? Seemed pretty good, I hope he gets another opportunity somewhere, can understand why he might not want to play third fiddle to Keogh and Santalab in a team that will probably only play 1 up front.

 

[XXRL]

Bit of a scratchy performance last night - felt like either team could've won and it came down to who took their chance to score.

Not sure about the right side of our defence. Dino wasn't great and Neville lacked the pace to get up and back. Would've much preferred Franjic on the right with Davidson on the left, and Neville taking Dino's spot at RCB.

We also missed Keogh up front and neither Stynes nor Santalab really had much impact. Castro showed his class when he came on and Kilkenny and Wilson (then Brimmer) were all decent in midfield.

A bit s**t to be out of the cup with the A-League not starting for another two months or whatever it is.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

I was impressed with Ferreira's defensive side when Neville went forward leaving the flank exposed

Getting two yellow cards within 20 minutes didn't help our risk-taking when having to defend - especially when it got really slippery

Italiano made some good runs, but seemed to go missing at times. Kilkenny was our best player overall and Castro for the time he was on.

Too many chances gone begging in the box - especially the last 10-15 minutes. Hopefully we learn and build from this

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Not too concerned about last night as we are work in progress. When we're the finished package Neville and Dino will be nowhere near that side. Lack of finishing up front cost us. Ferrieria is going to be very hand. Kosta 'Shooshing' a hand full of fans in one area of the ground he scored was just bizarre. Is this a Kiwi thing?

 

[gaskin]

I think that showed we are still short a quality striker. I have no hopes of doing much come finals time (if we make it) until we bring in someone to replace or help Keogh.

 

[XXRL]

Yep, losing Taggart was massive. Basically means it's Keogh, then Harold, then Stynes, with Santalab as a bench option.
