Round 19 - Macarthur vs Sydney FC - 1/3/25

Both teams are playing like sides outside of the 6. Let’s hope things pick up

Little bit better from us, lacking the final touch from R.Grant.

Starting to think this Costa lad might have something about him

I don’t think that R.Grant at CB is inherently a bad thing. I agree that his best days at RB are long behind him and that any future he has could well be at CB.

In particular, our playing out with him there has been much better than before he moved there.

The issue is that our other options at RB are truly terrible. I am convinced that the same back four shifted one spot over to the right, with King wrapping around to LB, would be far more effective going forward and defensively.

Feels great that the guy we chose over Adamson is so shit Talay prefers Joel King out of position over him.

Kamijo makes me happy

Left footed LB Joel King at RB, instructed to go wide not seen to cut inside yet.

Might be a genius move for that one time it comes off.

This is the standard performance from Sydney, a few chances but nothing to show for it. Just waiting now for MacArthur to score on the counter.

What the fuck is Klimala thinking?! Why? Why would you fucking do that and risk a red? Thats so fucking ridiculously dumb and avoidable!

We look the more likely, but we need to put at least one of these chances away or they’ll hit is on the counter and we’ll have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Cowbells > any time Harper opens his mouth.

Yep, we used to be shit but entertaining. Now we’re shit and boring.

Plenty of endeavour but really not enough quality where it matters. Klimala doesn’t seem to be in the right positions nearly often enough. He often uses a lot of energy to eventually run offside, then doesn’t have the energy to get on the end of a cross. Its not all his fault but it does render him ineffective most of the time.

I’m obviously watching a different match

  • looked fairly untroubled at the back.
  • costa is touching the ball loads and looks a different class
  • klimala showing he actually gives a shit
  • Kurto being forced into one of the saves of the season
  • HDM hasn’t fucked up yet
