By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

Nothing in attack on the bench for Brisbane. And nothing starting on the right wing either (go on son, prove me wrong)

There you go, Harps has sussed the plan. It's to create passing lanes forward for the sheer thrill of it, then pass backwards until the opposition defence is set, as only a gentleman would do.

Lack of a coherent game plan is the biggest criticism levelled at Aloisi - you can have all the injuries in the world but you can still have the same game plan. Aloisi, nyada, zip, nil game plan or obvious structure ... but let’s blame the players !!

That was one thing about Ange at least there was a system from youth to senior so if one fall another takes the place and they know what to do. The funny thing is that as far as I can tell the youth side style playing the Roar style.

The trouble is, as soon as Holman is fit he’s playing right wing ...

Holman will do his usual head down arse up kamikaze run that amounts to nothing, complain with hands to the other team mates and then slowly jog back and help in defence. Rinse and repeat.

I would say if he gets dropped for Theo any time for the rest of the season, I would go as long as he was guaranteed the top spot for another club.

In terms of quality that aren't even close. rating papa above boogs and maccarone above nabbout is craaaazy. They aren't even in the same ballpark. Surely nobody in their right minds would take papa and macca over boogs and nabbout? i don't think kristiansen can compare to ugarkovic either. and petratos is just head and shoulders above anyone in the brisbane team.

Papa craps on boogard to think otherwise is absurd, one of the best centre backs in the league his suspension was very costly.

Maccarone and Nabbout are supposed to score goals. Maccarone has scored more goals than Nabbout in a side that has scored less than half the goals.

Maccarone has scored more goals than Nabbout in a side that has scored less than half the goals. ok i thought you were saying the maccarone is a better player than nabbout, but you're not only saying that but also that he has had a better season. thats just sad mate. if you think maccarone is good enough then sorry you deserve the shit brisbane have dished out all season. he might be able to put a few away when put on a platter but in every other way he is just not up to up. also nabbout is a winger more than a striker but even so has 7 goals and maccarone has 6 from open play (and one penalty), and nabbout has 6 assists to maccarrones 1. he's also one of the best players in the 2nd best team in the league. not even close.

@the fans If Maccarone was at Newcastle he’d be the leading scorer in the league.
But to keep you happy how about
Maccarone > Hoffman
Leck < Nabbout
My point is still valid. On paper Roar had a better first 11. The difference is the coach.

The difference is the coach. he wouldn't get a start, but if he played as 9 every week he probably would. we'll have to agree to disagree. i couldn't disagree more tbh. Brisbane squad is awful.

@The Fans. So funny that you wouldn’t give a start to a guy that you think would become the league’s leading scorer if he did play.
Don’t think I could ever comprehend let alone agree with that level of logic. 😂

I’m talking about the starting lineups as you know. Let it go.
You probably wouldn’t play o’donovan anyway, in case he became the league’s top scorer.

Merrick is the sort of coach who looks at what he’s has in the squad and then plays a style to match their strengths. So I reckon if he had Maccarone in the squad he might just have come up with a game plan that suited. Oh no that’s right he would have had Hoffman as his striker and Maccarone out.
The fact that you call Maccarone lazy shows just how little you’ve seen of him this season.

I have completely lost interest in this team. Please Roar management, for the love of God, do something to revive this once great club! Coach, players, I don't care. Just do something FFS!!

O’Toole has another good game. Not sure missing one header (yes, I recon he stuffed it up too) is worth writing him off for. At just 20 he’s a real prospect.

Yeah don't get people slagging him off, he was very good in defence and whipped some dangerous balls but made a few inexperienced errors. Has the potential to be a very good left back.

I've thought he looked very promising and prefer him to Brown.

@ The Fans
Not going to argue on that, the ladder says it all.
Here’s an interesting thought - if Aloisi and Merrick had swapped roles at the beginning of the season what difference would it have made? Same squads/injuries and all ...
I recon Roar would be up top and Jets down at the bottom.

Here’s an interesting thought - if Aloisi and Merrick had swapped roles at the beginning of the season what difference would it have made? Same squads/injuries and all ...I recon Roar would be up top and Jets down at the bottom. Impossible to say because Merricks squad matches his playing style. His squad has players with real quality in attack while brisbane simply don't have that. they might have players that are performing well below where they should but they aren't the sort of players merrick would have. i think with merrick what he does is give attacking players freedom to express themselves, freedom to attack without fear. the opposite of ange. Newcastle has nabbout, petratos, rodrigues and when he comes back vargas, even champness. At wellington he had burns. At mv he had blokes like fred and archie. They all already had the ability, but its like merrick sets them free. what attackers does brisbane have? what attacking, "flair" players? the closest would be a 35 year old ben kalfallah on his last legs as a pro. I remember talking to you before the season about how bad brisbanes squad was looking. they aren't this bad just because of coaching, its recruitment too. aloisi has no idea what kind he team he wants to create. they're so clueless they didn't even offer broich a professional contract.

@The Fans
“i think with merrick what he does is give attacking players freedom to express themselves” ... it’s an interesting word “freedom”.
At one of the preseason games for Roar (Lions) Ross Aloisi came over to the fans and was chatting away and said words to the effect “unfortunately the players are confused about what we want them to do and how we want them to play”. That comment sounds so much the opposite of freedom

I don't get the Maccarone hate. He's legit kept Brisbane alive single handedly. The difference between Avraam and Boogaard isn't huge at all either way you go. I'd take Georgevski over Hingert any day as well.
Aloisi is just a shit manager. That's it.

From the Brisbane games I've seen he seems to be putting in more running and pressing than most of the others. That's on Aloisi surely.

Maccarone is copping sh*t for two reasons, the first is some Roar fans see him as the manifestation of what’s gone wrong this season and the second, he’s coping shit for what he doesn’t or can’t do - running, pressing, closing down etc ....
What he can do, and do very well, is defend (he’s leading the way for Roar with defensive headed clearances - that’s not an accident); he can receive, hold and pass the ball under pressure (hence Aloisi has been trying him st 10), and of course he can finish.
He’s the only Roar player to have played in every game this season averaging 89 minutes/game. That’s a nice stat but he should have been rested by now only his potential replacements of Gameiro, Skapetis and D’Agastino have all been injured. Ironic that it’s the 38 year old staying injury free.
But the biggest problem with Maccarone is how he’s been used, JA knowing that he doesn’t have a mobile No. 9 has failed to create a game plan that utilises his strengths and mitigates his weaknesses (I’ve lost count the number of times we’ve lobbed the ball over his head asking him to chase Maclaren-style!!).
Anyway, the seasons nearly done for us. Attention needs to be turning to who out No. 9 will be next season
