So last year was?
If we wanna be The Port, the RBB or Adelaide crowd great.
Controlled aggression is great until they just start ignoring your coach or laughing at him. And carding your players.
What should we do? Take out more billboards at airports or just sign a couple more players?
The appearance of aggression at A FC is an amazing press. We had that last season. As you say fit players and as I was saying depth.
We could be doing much much worse than our current management.
Does the game matter to us? How fired up are we for each game? Can the players feel that? How much does each game matter to the players as individuals and as a team?
Those last ditch tackles, blocks, runs down the field to be the 3rd body in the box at 92 minutes…
It’s a bit easier for AFC in their first season.
For me, when the whole team calls for a penalty, say, you get the whole stadium full throated roar. Then the player who offended us gets raspberries. None of this well yes the ref is probably right, he did get goal side, but I’m undecided…
Adelaide were complaining about normal time added on the other day. Imagine if Coopers had been denied both those pens.
Anyway I feel I’ve maybe changed direction midstream there, but not really. Dome fires shots we say it’s dumb. Dome doesn’t fire shots we say he’s not aggressive enough. 🤷♂️
It’s up to us, the players and coaches to inject the motivation and desire into each game. If we can’t do that Domey or McFlynn isn’t going to make much difference, except I’d be starting a McFlynn out campaign.
And if you’ve got new players you’ve got to fit them into your team.
If you’ve watched much of the Blue Samurai play or particularly Nadeshiko play they don’t panic late in a game. They usually just keep recycling the ball and trust their systems. Like we did last year. If we can’t do that, it’s more likely the problem is our system than it is the players.
