Guest NSWanderer15 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) This is the time not only for revenge since their coach, players, and fans have no problem being obnoxious, but to help us prepare for the ACL final. Hope the guys get up and get momentum for versing Al-Hilal next Saturday! Edited October 15, 2014 by NSWanderer15 Prydzopolis and SamAyafi 2 Link to comment
Smoggy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) ESFC all arrogance and talking themselves up ESFC saying all of our players are shite GA says they are the Manchester United of Australia ESFC banging on about their fantastic attendance records The media all over ESFC and ignore WSW ESFC the favourites for this game (so they think) And I don't give a *** about any of it.... actually I believe it sets it up nicely for us. We go there and we smash them against the so called odds and we own the place again Just how we like it.

mack Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Isn't ironic that the smurfs were talking from the first derby about how it doens't mean anything to them, only to spend the next couple of years gloating over their handful of wins, and now it's us who have a bigger game to play a week later that means more than any single match against the smurfs could.

Jowel Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 In all honesty, what lineup will Popa put out there on Saturday night? Having one eye on the ACL final and all. Would he rather rest NTS? Is Tomi at risk of re-injury? Would he want to save Saba for next week or does he need more game fitness? I assume spira won't be rushed in until the ACL final too? Are La rocca and mateo also too much of a risk to injure? Is civic gonna get a night off too? Does our starting IX for the ACL final need a solid hitout together this weekend to sharpen up or is Popa already satisfied and will therefore play the B Team? Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
Guest NSWanderer15 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Most likely not risk Juric and others who have niggles and match fatigue right now, though Saba and Romeo will probably get more minutes this time. DinoPresinger and Prydzopolis 2 Link to comment
Erebus Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I don't understand people saying to "rest" players. The ACL final is an entire week after the derby and its in Sydney. They don't have to travel. Why would you not want to play your players and keep them match fit? Saba needs the minutes. He has to start on Saturday so he can start in the ACL final. favourites? I checked centrebet yesterday and we're both paying $2.60 with $3.XX for a draw. Its split down the middle. nmh94, lloydy136, wilsonpastore and 10 others 13 Link to comment

echidna Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I think the game might have sold out - I just tried to look for tickets and was greeted by a 'no tickets available message'... hopefully this is true! Irrespective, I think it would be unwise for us to rest too many players. Popa still needs to get and keep combinations working and it will be difficult to start Spira against Al Hilal without any recent big match time 'under his belt'. The occasion itself will guarantee that the team will be fully focused on this weekend rather than the 'globally bigger' one to come. nmh94 1 Link to comment
wandererswaratahs Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hope the stadium members turn up, with the general admission allocation sold out the size of the crowd will mostly be determined by them. This fixture deserves closer to 45k than 40! nmh94 1 Link to comment

That sweet sweet Asian trophy is in my sights ... We could never take that attitude to a derby imo. I want to win the ACL as much as you, but the derby means more than a regular game, and it always will. Plus I really don't like the idea of coming back from the ACL starting our campiagn again on zero points, when others will be on as much as 10. DinoPresinger and wandererswaratahs 2 Link to comment
Wanderer74 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Going to this game but not as pumped as I have been other times. With our first team not ready yet and a continental final down the corner, I haven't caught the fever as bad. Wouldn't it **** with the smurfs heads if we put in no one and just filled it with youth players lol Prydzopolis and Balkanite 2 Link to comment
WestGrub Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Tomi won't play, Topor won't play. Saba should start as should Castelan, although Popa still probably doesn't think they are fully rock hard fit. Ruka maybe gets some minutes late on. I expect us to go in with team similar to what we started with last week. Those feeble minded east Sydneysiders, will look at the team sheet & get sucked in, I'm sure. We will go there & pull their pants down & it will be a great confidence booster for the real stuff the following week. Prydzopolis, DCWSW and Smoggy 3 Link to comment
Smoggy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 We need a positive performance and result regardless of the team that starts. Heads dropped last week and confidence was knocked a bit. I would take a well organised drama free solid defensive 0 - 0 and then move on to the ACL. Prydzopolis 1 Link to comment
Legionista Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Forget about ACL. First thing is first. There's a derby to be won. Hopefully Popa gets this into every players head. We should have won the last derby at SFS. Time to set the record straight. Prydzopolis, nmh94, DinoPresinger and 1 other 4 Link to comment

I don't know how to run a footy team, so I'll leave it in Popovic's hands. But if he is concerned about what I think (I don't think he is lol) and if is best to just throw the game for some reason (it probably isn't) then I don't care if he does LOL Will be there singing my heart out regardless.

braad Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 This game will really make it feel like the season is back in full swing! Its hellishly exciting thinking of being in Bay 4 singing like a nutso with 15,000 others (its a big bay). Erdz, Prydzopolis and DinoPresinger 3 Link to comment

Taurus Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Popa may a very shrewd move at half time last week by replacing La Rocca. Given that he had picked up a slice of cheese & was very close to collecting another & therefore earning an early shower, Popa chose to replace him so he'd be available as a CB option this week, should NTS not be fit to play. Whilst I don't believe CB is his best position, he'd be a far better option in that role than Golec was last week. Golec would be pushed back out into the LB role & Trifiro or Yianni (who I believe played some minutes with the youth team) would partner Mateo in the midfield. Cole can then be pushed forward & would be likely to start in the right midfield role replacing Kubi. petewestie, DontCallMeJacko and Prydzopolis 3 Link to comment
