Agree carrick setup the team today all wrong no one else to blame1. Hackney has to play deeper
2. Azaz has to play central.
Oh and Barlaser was absolutely shocking

Plenty to choose from today though.
Naively thought a week's training with O'Brien and Mcgree back available would have led to a more coherent strategy today.
The longer we have off the worse the team plays
O'Brien did not seem to know the formation, you could see the other players shouting at him

Thought it was a poor team selection from Carrick today.
Not sure what's going on with McGree but he simply has to find a way to accommodate Forss up front, Azaz as a 10 and Hackney in midfield.
I'd have even been in favour of Silvera starting on the right today, to accommodate the above players playing in those positions.

We could have been six down, we should have been three down but for Glover’s reactions coming out for that one on one where they should’ve scored. Although I wouldn’t argue if you criticised him for the second.

The club has said McGree has a chronic injury issue (ongoing plantar fasciitis). McGree has said McGree has that chronic injury issue. Soccer Australia has said McGree has that chronic injury issue. I know football fans love a conspiracy but I think being “not sure” about this one it’s pretty hard to justify.

Complete balls up from carrick today
Obrien Barlaser and Hackney were like strangers until it was changed round. Don't think much of obrien to be honest.
Adding the third central midfielder has made us surprisingly defensively vulnerable. Get back to our best 2 central midfielders
mcgree howson Hackney and forss has to be the 4 across the middle

Hackney became our best and most valuable player while playing in the defensive midfield 2, alongside Howson. So do that! Since he’s come back from injury it seems like the lad has hardly played there!

Fair enough but my points still stand regarding his other selection decisions.

And Rav, offered no protection but stood up and did the basics right
Disagree about this. I think that wide right forward position actually suits him perfectly.

It does, but I also think he'd score goals playing up front, certainly more than Greenwood.
