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

[Van_Dyke]

Why isn't D'Agostino starting?

Popovic gave him a serve in his presser the other day, came back from the break very unfit apparently

 

[gaskin]

Didn't see the game as I was at the WAFL. The stats don't look that impressive but at least we won.

I like the fact we are giving some young players game time. However, our forward line is looking a bit depressing. I don't think G Popovic has had a shot on goal (https://www.perthglory.com.au/player/gabriel-popovic#!/statistics), Chianese didn't put a foot right when he came on and D'Agostino is out of favour, though hopefully that might change after assisting Ingham's goal. I thought Armiento's debut against the Mariner's showed some promise but he should have squared the ball to Fornaroli rather than shooting. I imagine James might take a while to get A-league fitness.

While we have four games to get our forward line happening, I just can't see much reason to have hope going into the finals series.

 

[gaskin]

Daggers isn't out of favour. He is just being punished for coming back from lockdown in terrible shape.

looks like this was true and is a done deal!

Nabbout wouldn't fit a three forward set up. And I'd rather a fit D'Agostino and Fornaroli be our front two.

Very professional and pragmatic performance. We're a bit lucky at times though.
I guess without Diego or to a lesser degree Ikonomidis anymore Poppa sees this defensive grinding style as our only chance to get the title.

If it works I won't mind, sure it'll be an ugly title but it'd one full of character and could really echo into the future of the club to set a bar.

Enjoyed it. Those gritty kind of 1-0, park the bus, defensive master classes are heart in mouth to watch but feel great afterwards.

Onwards and upwards

 

[gaskin]

A surprise. But a welcome one.

It is just a shame they only have a few days until they have to back up against FFA FC on Wednesday.

 

[Tommycash]

Yep, and also nice to see it getting done with some younger players starting on the park in Brimmer, Ingham, K Poppa.

I wonder if D'agostino is a chance to recover and get some minutes off the bench?

 

[giggler99]

Wow!!

 

[gaskin]

Who is she? I'll wait for reputable sources. This is like the Poppa is going to take over Western United, Mcarthur, and Victory all over again.

 

[gaskin]

Franjic gone.

 

[ioppolo]

Looks like we're going back to where we were in 17/18

 

[gaskin]

Dino, Chianese, Tando, and Lia all gone as well.

They’ve been real slack with these announcement as they happen. I know there’s been a pandemic but come on. Have heard that apparently staff haven’t been told what’s happening and have been on jobkeeper for 4-5 months

Wouldn't surprise me. No wonder it's always a slow news day if no-one is really back at work lol

Franjic replacement

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Thought Atkinson looked handy in the GF. Fiery customer.

Thoughts re: Garcia’s appointment?

Still a boys club

 

[gaskin]

Meh but they were kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't. With Covid and the border restrictions, they were pretty much forced to hire in-state and it was either going to be him or Bobby.
