2023/24 Melbourne Victory Thread - Goodbye Popovic

[dwwaino]

You can see the exact moment Izzo's sphincter unclenched.

 

[dwwaino]

Lol Machach looked like he was about to cry after Fornaroli stuffed him up.

 

[dwwaino]

Kaltak should have been sent off twice now.

 

[tigs2010]

Get ****ed haha

 

[dwwaino]

King got a chub calling that one.

 

[dwwaino]

King still upset over bucketgate.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Pretty sure there's another goal in this. I'm not confident that we'll be scoring it...

 

[giggler99]

ffs another draw!

 

[Zidane98]

Bs, Poppa should rip VAR a new arseh*le over the first goal.

 

[dwwaino]

Should be able to request to never allow King to ref us again. Clearly still holds a grudge since bucket.

 

[netslave]

snatching a draw from the jaws of victory

 

[Zidane98]

Despite no Geria, Traore & Da Silva vs CCM DJ Brox still didn't make the matchday squad. Close to the end for DJ it seems.

 

[Zidane98]

Also why didn't Poppa select Boz at CB instead of Chapman? Felt Boz was good last season when he stepped up. Chapman isn't a proper CB, more of a utility.

Rightfully so, albeit don't rate Chapman but you'd rather be giving the games the first choice guys miss to Lino and Boz.

Agreed, should be Boz filling in and pairing with Roderick.

This is our CB depth



I only want Chapman filling in at CB if both Geria & Boz are unavailable.



Also we seem reliant on Da Silva a bit to much.

Whats happen to Rai Marchan? Injured or just out of form/favor?

Usurped by the excellent Teague. I feel away to WSW we could do with 2 more defensively based midfielders. Rai is still class and a very good squad player.

He would be costing next to nothing in the salary cap with the loyalty cap or whatever it's called. But yeah, probably his last season.

Yep, something like 75% of his wage doesn't fall under the cap or something like that. He gets to hang around for another season, we get a squad player with experience & leadership with little effect on the cap. Seems a win all round. Just hope the club gives him the big send off he deserves at the end of the season.

 

[Zidane98]

Boz & Inserra out. Geria, Traore, Da Silva in.

 

[Munga]

He's done it again!

 

[giggler99]

Bruno!!!

 

[Zidane98]

Bruno!!!

Don't send him to Asian Cup 24. We need him!
