Compared to the rest of the team i didn't think Ejaria was that bad. Kept possession at times when others lost it, it didn't matter what he did with it unless he was going to bang it in from outside the box as the majority of the squad were hopeless as soon as they got it
He had two, three players on him all match.
Livi countered us today. They completely parked the bus, they are the most negative team I have watched in a long time.
8 players in DM, Defence all match long. They punted the ball up the park and sent three MF chasing the second ball. An utterly shit set of tactics that seem to work.
They are all over our players and as soon as we react they throw their hands up and plead innocent. Ref played right into their hands.
The pitch was absolutely dead, the ball lost momentum instantly, so players like Ejaria, Middleton and Kent to a lesser extent found themselves with the ball under their body instead of on their toe.
These pitches should be banned from Div 3 and up, they ruin football and as long as we play on them, the game will not see skillful players grow.
Shit pitch, shit opponent and shit day all round.
