2023/24 Melbourne Victory Thread - Goodbye Popovic

[giggler99]

Very good performances by Brimmer / Lino coming on.

Lino surely gets a shot with Adama banned next week.

You have to be impressed by the resilience of this side. Carved them up in the first half but ended up down 1-0 than could have easily dropped their bundle after we lost Adama.

But battled on right to the end and got their deserved reward.

Promising signs.

There is gonna be a game soon when it will all click and we will smash some poor ass team!

Hoping its during the Melbourne derby

We need a Daggers replacement. Bruno can't do it on his own.

Tough watching us find extraordinary ways not to score and then watch Vuck legends Storm Roux and Willy Wilson score for Mariners

Calling them legends is a bit of a stretch but yeah seeing them score is hard to swallow especially Wilson he was worth keeping.

Massive exaggeration on my part

Time to get big bad maxi beister out of retirement.

What about Beninese Peter Crouch?

Brox must live in my area in SE bayside. Just out for a walk with the missus and saw him having a chat with i assume a mate outside.

Let me know when the hard cover version of this story is released

It's the epic sequel to the time I saw Lawrence Thomas at Southland.

Don't understand how we cocked up the Will Wilson deal. Has talent, young. Give him a contract ffs.

 

[Zidane98]

What about Beninese Peter Crouch?

We'd be better off bringing 45 yo Didier Drogba out of retirement!

 

[Zidane98]

Suarez joins Miami Zidane98

Pique and Iniesta next I assume

Still hasn't signed yet......


And even if he does it's a 3 month break until the next season of MLS starts. You'd hope the club is having a fair crack at either convincing him to join for the rest of the season or as a guest player from Dec to March if he joins Miami.

Team for CC away

----------------------Izzo------------------------

Geria------Miranda-------Da Silva---------Lino

---------------------Teague------------------

-----Brimmer------------------------Zizou-------

---Arzani-------------Bruno------------Nish


Siciliano
Boz
Nigro
Chapman
Rai
Monge
Ikon
Folami


Poppa needs to give Lino a start, felt he was excellent coming on against Macarthur. And time for Brimmer/Zizou combo to be given a shot in midfield with Teague cleaning up behind them.

[Zidane98]

Can only imagine Arzani is carrying a knock for Ikon to start ahead of him.

 

[Zidane98]

No Da Silva concerning. Geria with the standard injury.

 

[dwwaino]

Can only imagine Arzani is carrying a knock for Ikon to start ahead of him.

It looked like he got a twinge in his calf or something last game. Been a couple weeks but they're just being cautious.

 

[tigs2010]

That defence looks grim.

 

[dwwaino]

That defence looks grim.

Would love to be wrong but after a promising start I can see us dropping away. Injuries look like they'll plague again, the depth is deceiving (as in not as good as it looks because we hardly develop our own) and our offence is too one dimensional. If Fornaroli can't score then there is no plan B. Who the stuff knows what happens if/when he gets injured.

 

[tigs2010]

Weak from Roderick

 

[dwwaino]

How the **** wasn't that a foul?

 

[dwwaino]

That was pissweak but he was still pulled back. Has to be overturned.

 

[dwwaino]

Lol kidding right?

 

[dwwaino]

Lol but pays that.
