Half the team look like they’ve just got out of bed. Incredibly sluggish. What’s wrong with them today?
Also, we are way too narrow. Lolley has been lucky to touch the ball twice in wide positions where he is actually threatening.

And there it is.
Fuck these lazy complacent pieces of shits wearing our jersey. Fuck them off, all of them. This whole season has been beyond infuriating and HEADS NEED TO ROLL.
This shape in possession might work if you have fullbacks with speed who can carry the ball and challenge a man on the dribble. We don’t have that.
I was about to say it can’t be our worst half of the season because we haven’t conceded, but there you go.
We probably deserve to be down, this season has been one fairly major slow motion car accident with some derby wins as air bags.
Can scott Boland play football?
Who did Talay have as assistant at Wellington? Might be the kind of manager that needs the right combo of staff to make it all work.
Chiefy
I know they are all terrible today but JCP looks absolutely cooked.
Without a doubt this defence is the worse in the history of the club.
So who has actually put in a good or even passable performance so far? Klimala I suppose has had some good runs and the lack of service isn’t his fault. Otherwise has anyone actually done anything particularly good?
This passing is absolutely atrocious. So many players putting the ball all over the shop under no pressure. We’re constantly playing the ball with short passes into midfield then trying a single long ball over the top to Klimala that is either overhit or easily mopped up by the defenders. So how does that game plan even make sense? Why have the short passing in defence to then rely on route one? It’s just a completely incoherent game plan.
We are definitely heading for wooden spoon.
This game and the next were must wins. It is very poor from Talay that we will get 0/6 points this week. He needs to go. We shouldn’t look worse than Newcastle
This is fucking terrible. TALAY OUT
Lolley has been good when he gets the ball but the problem with the Christmas tree formation we’re running is it all starts so narrow, so he just hits a crowd and the move dies
I hate to be that guy, but I’ll pass on having a Melbournian in our team if I can help it!
It’s the Xmas tree again and only one man is responsible for it.
The midfield 3 has been very flat, Sega on the left of it has been covering JCP who has provided our only width (up until tripping over the ball or passing to a gold shirt), Lolley and Ouahim super narrow behind Klimala.
It was hard to judge it last week after the early goal and dismissal. Plenty defended its conservatism. But here it’s absolute dogshit, we can’t keep possession, we’ve barely crossed halfway, the only difference is we’ve been routinely exposed in behind the fullbacks instead of it being lumped over the top of our CB’s.
I’ve been on that train a while now. Choo choo.
Segecic is already higher and it looks a more regulation 4-3-3 now. Ouahim at 10 where he should be able to shine.
JCP off for King. Cant argue with that, he was very poor.
Don’t worry guys, with everything going wrong in that half replacing our left back will solve it.
Tbf more solidity at left back should free up Segecic to not have to cover left back and that will provide us more width and attacking verve.
I don’t recall him ever making it work for Wellington, they were a very average team who were poor to watch. Maybe they slightly exceeded expectations now and then but when he joined I recall being very underwhelmed with his appointment though was willing to give him a chance.
