Hey, yeah, great stuff. Over the weekend we've got an exciting game against the Wanderers where the Reds won four to three. Should we get straight into that. I'm pumped about the win. We needed the to get that.

One on the road.

One on the road.

Yeah, early in the sea.

Yeah, early in the sea.

Obviously we drew first that we had to buy, which is disappointing. Then you have your drawer at home, which I thought we were probably good enough to win, maybe only played a good first half, but winning early in the season is probably the most important. Obviously, you want to play well, that's just standard. You always want to play well. But winning getting points on the board, it just breeds confidence within the group and you start to get that consistency. When you win, you don't feel as sore, you're more excited to go to training. Everything's better about that. So really really good away win. We looked at up well, I personally looked at the fixtures and in the first five or six games, I thought that was the hardest one away from home. The Wanderers that they are a good side. They've recruited really well, they always recruit well. So very very happy to win. Not happy to concede three goals, but on a positive note, scoring four it is always good.

So when we look at that the breakdown of the game, the goals were scored very early in the first half hour. Weren't they so a three one a half time, that's I suppose a really good tone set for the match, and then you let them trickle a few win late in the game. Was there a bit of a briefing postmatch or during the week now about how you can stay on top in the game. You didn't relinquish the lead at any point.

But no, I think, to be honest, this offseason we've really worked defensively on how to how to knock conceive three goals, to be honest and do probably what we did. So we started really well in all games. We've started well, even in pre season. Our first half's been great. And then I think we're going in at three to one, we'd really emphasize that. Okay, come on, still keep doing the same thing. We know because we're so dominant in the first half of the team's going to change things. Of course they are. They came out a bit more aggressive. They took Wan Marta off and put a striker, so they went with two traditional strikers up top, brought another midfielder on for them, so they were aggressive.

They were at home. We knew they were going to come.

They were at home. We knew they were going to come.

But as Kyle spoke to us and he said, of course we can get better. You know, instead of playing for fifty to fifty five minutes, really well, we can play for seventy five eighty eight. The other team's always going to have moments in the game, but they were at home. They were going to come out hard against us. They needed a reaction, and they did have a reaction. But you know, once they got that goal, we then went forward to up and then the four to three was probably disappointing because it caused a little bit of a stress on the bench for Coal and all the fans. I'm sure watching back here in Adelaide, but where you know when we're doing a lot of things right, and we know if we keep doing those things well, we'll get a lot of points this season.

In terms of preference of how a game plays out, do you like the shootout? Does Carl like the shootout?

I think in previous years Cole probably would have said, yeah, I'm happy to score more goals than the opposition, But last year probably conceded too many. So I think it's a balance, isn't it. You know, if you know you're going to win. To be honest, who doesn't like more goals? It's more exciting for everyone. But a one nil win, you know, you get the same amount of points is winning four to three and the stress of that and probably being like, I'm an attacking player, so I like more goals. If you ask a goalkeeper or a defender, they're probably saying that no chance, we want a one nil win, no goals conceded, looks good for them.

Yes, So the gritty style defensive matchup, that's not for you.

You like seeing the goals.

You like seeing the goals.

Go No, definitely, And you know what, sometimes you could have a one nil win that's extremely exciting and it could have been five to four, but chances were missed. And there's other games where, like on the weekend, to be honest, the goalkeeper where Sydney kind of gave us a couple of goals, there wasn't that many clear cut chances. It's just every good chance turned into a goal.

I can't remember the one, which one was it. I think it was one of the later ones where Wister and Sydney's goal was just it came off the crossbar.

I can't remember the one, which one was it. I think it was one of the later ones where Wister and Sydney's goal was just it came off the crossbar.

Yeah, it wasn't probably the best cluff lost in the midfield. Then they got a shot hit the crossbar. James Delynov I've said already. I think you know he came up with this t Rex arms and got out jumped by the striker. It was not great to concede, but it's funny to laugh because you win. If that was a four to four goal, I'm definitely not laughing about that right.

Now, absolutely right.

Now, absolutely right.

Well, Dylan Pierre's is going to join us later on the show, which I'm looking forward to. We'll get his breakdown. He's in the back half of the ground so we can talk. He's an interesting role this year. I've heard they're already talking about opposition. The way he's placed on the ground. Can you talk listens through his positioning?

He's an interesting role this year. I've heard they're already talking about opposition. The way he's placed on the ground. Can you talk listens through his positioning?

Yeah, well, it's I guess with the ball, he's playing like a right winger. As such, he is extremely quick. I don't want to pump him up too much. Hopefully he's not listening itt or his head will get too big. But he's very quick, obviously with space to run into. I think this position suits him best. It's like a wing back, but then defensively he's expected to get back into the back four and.

Be a right back.

Be a right back.

So it's a lot a lot of running, a lot of high speed running.

So it's a lot a lot of running, a lot of high speed running.

I think having Panash Mandania.

I think having Panash Mandania.

He came on in that game and we changed a little bit, but he's probably someone. If Dylan's tired at sixty seventy minutes and he needs a new player, Panash is the perfect one to come on.

But you know he's saying.

But you know he's saying.

He's a right back and he's scored two goals in his equal top goal scorer.

He's a right back and he's scored two goals in his equal top goal scorer.

So is that unique.

So is that unique.

Yeah, it's a position that not many players could play, just because fitness wise, you need to have a lot in your lock.

Yeah, it's a position that not many players could play, just because fitness wise, you need to have a lot in your lock.

You need to be able to run a lot distance wise.

You need to be able to run a lot distance wise.

To cover it, but you need to be quick enough to obviously get up and get back. I definitely don't have the speed to be able to play that role.

To cover it, but you need to be quick enough to obviously get up and get back. I definitely don't have the speed to be able to play that role.

Yeah, it's a seriously, it's well fit to him. So we'll speak to him about all of that very shortly. But what I do want to do before we go to the break is look ahead because this weekend we've got an important game once again against the winless Western United. Doesn't mean it's going to be an easy feat, but we're at home, which helps us.

Yeah, definitely another big game for us at home. Western United. I think they've got a couple of draws and the loss. They played against Melbourne City on Monday nights, so we know obviously John Lewis, he's been there for quite a few years. They've changed a few little things, but they're going to be an extremely well drilled team. They'll try and press us a little bit, but I think the way we play, I think they'll drop back a little bit deeper and try and not let us create the space for myself and Zach clath.

So we need to be patient with the ball. We need to keep it moving.

So we need to be patient with the ball. We need to keep it moving.

The quicker the bull speed, the harder it is for opposition teams to kind of stop us. And playing at Cooper's with the new field, that first game was a little bit slow. Ye, So fingers cross train there tomorrow, fingers crossed that they've really, i guess improved. That This good weather from what I'm being told, is going to help. That a night game helps as well. So we need to make sure that we do the same things that we did in the first couple of games, and I think we'll come away with the three points.

Who are the players to watch out for at Western United?

Who are the players to watch out for at Western United?

Oh, my mate Gruccio, He's he's probably back. He's been out with a groin injury. He's a key players, obviously the captain this season, he's he's a big in if he's back starting.

I'm not sure if he's going to start.

I'm not sure if he's going to start.

He's not given too much away and I've been ignoring his phone calls this week as well, so him and Ibusuki obviously X Adelaide United player striker. The fans loved him this week. They're going to have to boo him and hate him, although he's the type of guy you can't hate, to be honest, he's the nicest guy in the world. But hopefully he has an off game and we need to, I guess, exploit, exploit their weaknesses and hopefully keep the ball long enough that you know they're good players don't get a chance to impact the game.

I just want to get chapping up. Yeah, anybody coming back from injury coming back.

Well, we've got Bart Ryan's the Dutch center back that we've signed. He's unfortunately been injured for a lot of the preseason. I think he's just been included in this squad for this weekend, the extended squad, so it's up to Cole whether he thinks his match fit. And we've got Jordan Elsie who unfortunately he did his I think it was his quad just on the eve of the season. So we've got those two coming back in. But I think even with the ones that we had out there, I think we're good enough. I think on the weekend was probably a lapse of concentration for those goals.

What do we got?

What do we got?

Well, I guess the biggest disappointment of the week was was a few of the big teams dropping points. Arsenal lost away to Newcastle one nil and straight after that then Manchester City lost away to Bournemouth and the biggest winners were Liverpool who everybody probably wrote them off at the start of the year thinking new coach on a slot coming in replacing Klop It's going to take a bit of time. You saw when Wenger left Arsenal, Sir Alex Ferguson left United. It took a long time to kind of replace those guys. But Liverpool hit the ground running.

They're on fire.

And the new manager, Ruben Amarin coming into man United, which we will play a funny clip later on in the show as well for our moment of the week. But he's he's got a big task this weekend coming in from Sporting Lisbon. He's got Lester at home and the other big matches really this weekend You've got Brighton against City, Liverpool v Villa and Arsenal v Chelsea, so some really exciting games this weekend. And I think overall the quality of the league has improved, you know in the years gone by City we're getting you know, ninety to one hundred points. I don't think teams will get to that level this year, not because they've dropped in their performances. I just think the overall quality of the league, you know, besides maybe your bottom three teams.

Everyone else.

You know, they're buying players for twenty thirty forty pounds, so they're not average players and they're also getting now of the best coaches in from all around the world, so it's exciting overnight as well. With the Champions League results, there were some more I guess big clubs losing in Villa, losing away to Club Bruges, Arsenal lost to Inter City lost away to Sporting Lisbon, and that was Ruben Amram's last game, so he's beaten his direct rival now Man United coach coming in. He's done their fans a big favor by beating City for one, so it's going to be interesting to see obviously with those two competitions, the English teams.

League in the world, but you know the Italians are doing well with Inter beating them, Sporting Lisbon of Portuguese side matching it with the Champs, so you know there's a lot of good team quality teams out there and the new format I think is paying dividends.

Hey, guys, Stephan, how are you good?

Hey, guys, Stephan, how are you good?

Thanks?

Thanks?

How are you very good? I've noticed this year, especially at the first home game. Last year, we played a lot from the back, holding the ball a lot back, going from us center back to left back to right back and holding ball a lot in the back half the back half last year. This year I see we're playing a lot more attacking. Is that because of the PSV influence and trying to play like the Dutch League? Because I feel that's where it's coming from.

Well, to be honest, I don't think so Cole Wroball be a better one to ask for that. I think Ernest has come in from PSV is obviously giving a lot of resources. I think Cole probably just looked at, you know what, what didn't work last season.

We've changed a little bit.

I think there will be times where maybe we do build up a little bit slower, but the objective of us is to score as quick as.

So if we can get you know, our goalkeeper on the ball and he can play one pass into you know, Luka Yovanovitch over the top and we can score.

Great.

If it means we need to go through a center back, to go through a number six to get to know myself or cloff as a number ten to get to our winger or striker, then obviously that's what we're going to do.

It really just depends on how the team's set up.

So I know as the season goes on, teams are going to figure out, all right, well what are we doing well and to try and stop us, and we need to be brave enough and good enough to assess that on the pitch to find the alternative option to get forward. But yeah, I might have to ask Cole tomorrow morning that PSPE have influenced it or not.

Okay, load us up, Steph as I spoke about new manager Reuben amoron if I've pronounced his name correctly coming into Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world, not the biggest, but one of the and in his last or one of his last press conferences, he had an English journalists fly over there. They've explicitly been told he's going to be speaking in Portuguese from the city. Obviously, he speaks Portuguese as his first language. He wants to respect the fans, respect the club.

Obviously, he wants his question to be answered in English, like you said, but I think you have to respect the country you're in, and I think that's what a lot of English speaking people maybe do it as well. You know, we expect someone if we go to their country to be able to speak English, but I don't think it's reciprocated.

Now I hope he gets a win first up and then he comes out and says something about that. But if he does lose, already they're going to be hammering him, and especially that reporter there.
