Atkinson captain?????

 

[SouthernMariner]

What an own goal.

 

[melbcityguy]

Blow the whistle

 

[Hillbilly55]

Atkinson ball watching and not following his man for the goal. 1 all after 22 minutes.

Have to admit, every time I have watched Shillington he hasn't looked fast enough to be a full back.

Yes
Shillington getting killed.

 

[NoMates]

city surprisingly decent

definitely the weaker team, but not so much so that a draw or win would be impossible

 

[TimmyCole]

Very young team out there for City.

Very young team out there for City.

yeah if we could get a better strength and conditioning program, these youth look technically on par with j league opposition but physically well behind

the field looks 200 meters long when we get the ball at the moment

That half hurt my Coefficient FC loving soul, City given the biggest gift since whoever chose that ref for the Wanderers ACL Final, yet they can't hold out till at least half time.

To be fair, the City kids are doing pretty well, apart from probably Shillington getting done for pace every attack. Need more from their leaders, Atkinson, Ferreya and especially Kuen haven't really contributed. Been pretty impressed with Schriber. Rahmani and Baker have had their moments.

At the very least this is some great experience for a lot of young players against a quality team. Hopefully they can hold out till Nabbout, Kanamori and Mazzeo can come on and impact the game.

fc coefficient still in it!

The obviously pre-recorded half time previews are so awkward and cheap, got to avoid those penalty rates!

 

[grazorblade]

City not physical enough to defend deep. When they win the ball they don't have anyone fast enough to hurt the opposition and they concede a crazy number of headers in the box. Might as well press a touch higher given the type of player they have

 

[grazorblade]

always the worst part of the game. Only half an hour left so you dare to hope haha

really enjoying the J league chanting, catchy tune

 

[SouthernMariner]

Pat Beach keeping City in the game, desperately need some sort of threat going forward. Get Mazzeo on!

 

[grazorblade]

ah man this part of the game is horrid, 20 minutes to go, start hoping we can get something out of the game....hold on boys!
