ACL2 SF - Sydney FC vs Lion City Sailors - 16/4/25

Our ball movement is so slow, show some urgency at least.

115 minutes into the half they’ve finally completed 100 passes in our half. We’re up to 456 in theirs.

Mediocre long ball merchants that got lucky with the 1.5 chances they’ve created.

Loving these 3 centre defenders calling lolley back so they can mark 1 striker.

Can we go back to Oceania?

We’d struggle against a New Caledonian squad nowadays.

5 fouls in 28 minutes for Pires with no card.

How many chances have we created with those 456 passes though?

At least the ref isn’t buying this early rolling around bs

It is indeed a feat to take the best player in the league for the last few years and render him quite so ineffective.

So only 4 players in the Lion City squad are Singaprean, and the rest are Portuguese, Dutch, German, Croatian, Belgian (with one Aussie)?

ACL2 has no restrictions on number of foreign players per squad - I’ve only just realised this, as I was used to the ACL rule where only 3 were allowed?

Yeah that really pisses me off.

Was gonna ask the same question. So ACL 1 still does then?

And who’s up 2-0? Not us!

Are you new to football? Better team doesn’t always win…

Not that I would assume the 4th official would know, but can he tell Uffy that Centerlink opens at 8.30am.

Uffy has the look of a coach on his last chance tonight.

And no idea how to fix it

We only know how to go left or right to create chances, need more moving off the ball in the final 3rd

All the time between legs to work out how to defeat their low block and a back 5 was the answer.

We are easily equal in quality or probably slightly better than them.

They are only 2-0 because of Talay’s tactics. We should have played more conservative in the first game. His tactics were just way off in the first game
