Asian Champions League 1 and 2 thread

This Japanese import has been awful so far. Early days mind you

I have a question:

We know if you reach a level above the a league you piss off to go anywhere else.

Is the turnover the same in Japan?

I think you will find that all around the world.

Remember, it is a job for the players.

Yeah I'm just saying most of the team that got us into the ACL aren't playing tonight is it the same for vissel Kobe?

 

[NoMates]

what's the score?

what's the score?

0-0 City much improved. Not sure if they have improved enough, will know in an hour I guess haha

Forza Coefficient FC.

City with a decent, defensively solid performance if a bit uninspiring. Their set piece efforts especially lack luster.

Kanemori their main creative force and they desperately need more from him. Way too many wasted balls in dangerous positions. Durakovic and Rahmani basically invisible. Schriber and Trewin working well in midfield.

Hopefully Nabbout, Beckham Baker or Gerald can give them an attacking lift in the second half.

I can live with uninspiring in away games.
Haram ball if it gets us some coefficient points
0-0 snore bores with a nicked goal at the end occasionally would be brilliant

My theory is that casual fans don't watch acl or acl2, but they are affected by the results because they hear of them. If results were consistently good/bad that does make at least some difference to a league crowds

Yeah for sure, getting anything from this would be great. A dodgy snatch and grab win an absolute bonus.

Though really I don't Kobe offered much that half. City sat deep but Kobe mostly handed them back the ball, and City got forward if wastefully. Kobe's best chance was a Pat Beach error.

 

[grazorblade]

couple of easy shots given away from outside the area....city should be careful. Fortunately the shots have been poor and straight at the keeper with limited power or swerve

 

[grazorblade]

silly card from souprayen after a silly card from atkinson in the first half....silly mistakes will cost you at this level but so far hasn't cost us a goal

 

[grazorblade]

Kobe has had the better of the territory battle this half so far

The Lion City Sailors v Selangor AFC Champions League 2 game currently in a weather delay, with Sailors leading 2-0.

 

[grazorblade]

That japanese import.....have seen absolutely no quality from him so far....

 

[grazorblade]

your kidding.....last minute just give it away like that

 

[grazorblade]

bring the goal keeper up for the corner

 

[grazorblade]

It's just sad watching us in asia isn't it.....oh well hope acl2 saves our blushes

 

[SouthernMariner]

Coefficient FC for sure cursed.
