Bonada s fire was missing for us to really pin them down.

Uchida is great only issue is he needs a clearer head sometimes to be quicker on the pass. Aguek is our best choice up front and with Bonada he will shine even more.

Pasquali has given us a dimension we have long lacked in midfield imo. He is one of our best on park 3 weeks now and a big reason for the lift in creational play!

His first two weeks were good but made a few mistakes yesterday I thought
Agree on Uchida

No issue with Siki dropping Lavale in that case, need to maintain discipline in the squad, he's been here all of five minutes, if he's not going to respect the gaffer that's what he gets.

Would've thrown Habib up top (used to play there at Heidelburg) and one of the other subs on a wing instead of Mesourouni but that's neither here nor there. Hopefully Oliver's learnt his lesson
 
If we defeat Sydney Olympic and Moreton city draw with Broadmeadow Magic, we clinch top spot with 2 matches to spare.

I think winning in Sydney will be very tough, but not impossible. We just need to keep it tight at the back and not give away the ball in the middle of the park. We have issues in our transition back to defending.

I think we will lose this game, i see Olympic scoring a few crackers again. In any case the key is beating Broadmeadow at home. We have a better GD than the rest and 12 points will top this group.

They hit well against a high defensive line but not much pace... I think we will be OK, unless we concede 2 stupid goals through the middle again. They DO have everything to play for and we are comfortable. I think they will press hard and hopefully we can take advantage of their need to score goals... could go either way I reckon, but predict a few goals in this one. ... after saying that watch it be 0-0... lol

Both Pasquali and Tommy G have settled a bit into their roles and I dont think we will be as "porous" this time around.

For those travelling to Sydney on the weekend

Have a good weekend lads, enjoy, hopefully these sorts of matches are a much more frequent occurrence going forward

Aware it’s always a tough sell when talking to Melbournians but for those who’ve not been up to Sydney for a long time/ever and who are making a weekend of it. May I recommend checking out the city when not at the pub. Some fairly major changes in the past 5-10 years. George street (main street of Sydney) has been pedestrianised and trams have been brought back to central Syd + the refurb of places like darling square (closest equivalent would be fed sq) and Pitt street mall (Bourke street mall) on top of the standard tourist destinations everyone knows down at the harbour. Will be keeping an eye out/hoping to catch a glimpse of some South merch around the city this weekend

Still trying to find a way to move things around so i can get to the game myself

The updates from https://blueandwhiteviews.com/ have dried up (he does go through dormant periods up to 14 days so he is due)

Has he posted anything on Twitter?

He (or she?) has been an excellent replacement for Paul Mavroudis

He has been very active on Twitter, I'm sure we'll get accused good debrief soon enough! Love his work too

Mate you have, single-handedly, done more to promote Sydney to soccer tourist from Melbourne than Danny Townsend and Destinations NSW put together :)
