Josep Gombau Is New Wanderers Manager

[FarisMee]

For me the back four are the heart n soul of a football team.   And nothing succeeds until they do.  All this attacking style will go nowhere until we win the war at the back.  I don't think WSW is ready for (successful) attacking football.

After Redmayne made that great save last night, the next cross he came half out looking for the ball when it was nowhere near him. He’s gonna make a stupid error soon, and if it costs them the game he’ll collapse like always.

Keepers and strikers with confidence issues have nowhere to hide.

Though, no doubt Wilkinson is helping. For all the talk of Ninkovic etc, Wilkinson was the best pickup. I’d have him in the Socceroos before Wright.

Redmayne has been great for them, some of those saves he has pulled off has been fantastic.

Lets be honest, that was never the issue for us. His shot stopping was fantastic, it was only when an aerial ball came into the box that he made it look like a hot potato.

Even now, I haven’t seen one game where any team have put a decent cross with decent pressure on him. He has come out a few times, stuck in no mans land only for his defense to bail him out.

All this talk of transformation, I’m not so sure. Has his confidence been built up? Yes. Is he in good form & not made any/many mistakes? Yes. Are the weaknesses still present? Very much so and if anyone had done there homework on Redmayne, they’d be testing him in different ways.

SFC weren't outplayed. They had 60% possession, twice as many shots on goal as City, 150 more passes and 10% better passing accuracy. City just occasionally looked better & were coming on stronger at the end of the game, but couldn't put any real chances together.

City are a different team now, possession isn’t the only way to dominate a game. City are comfortable playing without the ball, sitting deep, soaking up pressure and hitting on the counter.

I’d love to see an xG for the shots on goal, great to have lots of chances but it’s about the quality of those chances.

WOT??

Talking about Gosford on the Gombau thread??

I think you'll find we were talking about Redmayne!!  

 

[Prydzopolis]

I love the thread derailment of the welcome to West Sydney thread, hate to see his reaction discussing anything but him  

The fault lays solely at the feet of our supreme leader

Alright think it's time to lock.
