Muscat Done Like a Dogs Dinner
August 13th 2009 14:07
Unfortunately for Melbourne Victory fans their worst fears have been realised in round one of the A - League. Kevin Muscat is down and out after busting his hamstring up really really bad. As a bloke that has suffered a hamstring tear I'll tell ya this, Muscat will be on shaky ground for more than the estimated four weeks on the sidelines he has been sentenced to. The old hammy is something that has the sufferer running around with little inklings of doubt in his mind. Muscat's age will not work in his favour either.
The Victory face Brissy Roar this Saturday and I'm sure Farina will find a place for Scottish mastermind Charlie Miller in his starting eleven for the Roar this week. This is the spark that is going to create havoc for Melbourne. Last week as predicted right here Central Coast were able to travel to Melbourne and come home with the three points. Guess who is tipping the same thing this week? Yeah I are.
The Central Coast had a plan to shut down Costa Rican lethargist Carlos Hernandez. They succeeded in their planned mission and Melbourne looked really really krud. Only Evan Berger lit up the stage occasionally with some trail blazing runs down the flank. The young New South Welshman from Picton in Sydney's western outskirts has been a real find for Merrick and Melbourne but he will be nullified this week by Brisbane's workaholic midfield. Once again we will see Allsop and Thompson starved of opportunities due to a blockage in midfield.
With the missing Muscat and the midfield shutdown apparent I'm making Brisbane this week's special despite the fact Sergio Van Dijk looks like he is going to give us a repeat of his frustrating efforts early last season, when he missed goals that little girls with all the girl germs could score. None of that matters because if Sergio don't finally slot one away I'm sure Charlie Miller will pick one up and Brisbane will be miserly in defence.
Anyhow folkes have a safe weekend and don't forget to weed your garden.
Melbourne & Muscat Down & Out
