New formation seems fun so far, a lot faster paced
2023 Australia Cup Rnd of 32 vs Peninsula Power FC | Friday 4th August | 9:30pm | Football Australia YouTube
Zinging the ball around. Not moving forward through the centre much.
I know there will be much stiffer tests ahead, but liking the speed of play and the willingness to spring forward.
Good involvement from the youngsters so far as well. Positive early signs in the chiefy tenure.

paulsen is so calm on the ball, i love it
Kelly-Heald very heavily involved!
This refs getting interesting. Zawada gets one against him for being blocked off and now Kraev for getting a shove in the back.
Kelly-heald has madr several runs from left back all the way through the middle. Looking very assured on the ball.
Kraev through the middle is good to see.

Commentator not wrong.
Games gone a bit flat. Mostly because we’ve reverted to type with 2 passes forward 3 passes back. First 30 we looked good, b…
Oh, we’ve scored. Nevermind

Good goal, well worked
Some similar passing patterns from last year. We seem to lack connect or ideas when moving forward. We pass it around the back and then launch a long range pass. But it’s preseason so not actually fussed
Yeah, last 15 we tended to probe forward, then stop and recycle. Too much.
You do that once, fine, twice, Ok. 3times at a stretch but you really need to be pushing it through then.

Yeh there was a point pre-injury when Rufer was looking to dribble or pass very directly through the centre. If he’s not doing that then it places a lot of pressure on Pennington.
A bit worried about our squad depth if Ball and Old are going to be out with injury a bit.
Still very early days.
Pennington making the most of his outing so far. Hoping for more from OVH.
Quietly pleased with what I’ve seen. Some good combinations, good inputs from the youngsters and I love to see a keeper use his feet. Promising
good save from paulsen
This is a dull game.
Bit concerned ar the lack of ideas for moving the ball forward. Still, early days in pre season.
I do agree with the commentator that it'd be nice to see the fullback further forward.

five corners and only one vaguely on target from OVH so far
Bit of a scrappy half so far.
Bang average 2nd half. Power deserve to be level.
This game is very concerning.
Oh dear.
at least now we'll have to push on
we looked way too complacent at 1-0
want to see them attacking the game more

What am I missing about OVH - I don't get it.

He offers nothing tbh. Cant really see any area he excels in

Don’t worry about it. There’s people here who don’t like him because he’s a van Hattum.
Same old problems at the back. Is it a coincidence we concede soon after Wotton comes on
Just saying.

yikes not good to see Sutton nursing his knee like that
would hate for him to blow it out again on a nothing burger of a match

Jeze we look shark out there, not good football to watch. It's so strange since the first ten looked quite good.
We're and A-League team, we should be better than this.

Paulson looks good though, very tidy keeper.

Really been the only one to put in a delivery for Zawada too. Missing his partners in crime with the assists from last season Elliot and Mauragis.
The first 15min showed us an idea of the style Italiano wants to play, quick movements and passing. We faded in the 2nd half, match fitness not there yet and lots of tired legs.
Perfect. Extra time - More minutes in the legs.
While we're here, can we, for the love of God get Payne off set piece taking please!?

Their goal, I can't believe we had three defenders stuck round the one attacker and left their scorer unmarked. Very poor.
Extra time not necessarily a bad thing....as long as we go on to win.

Can't get very excited about upcoming season after watching that.

What an utterly dire football match. Keeping me up late but frankly could put me to sleep.
They’ve figured out our attack. But we haven’t figured that out yet.
