Join host Christian Marchetti and FPF contributor Jake Holub as they discuss all the talking points from Round 8 in the A-League Men and make their predictions for Round 9!

To start the pod, Christian addresses the biggest news item in the A-League Men right now, giving his thoughts on Patrick Kisnorbo's sudden departure from Melbourne Victory and considering why such a move has come about (6:26).

The boys then review Round 8, with Christian posing a bunch of questions from across the weekend's games. They start by talking about Brisbane's time-wasting tactics in their draw with the Wanderers (19:05), whether Sydney FC need to alter their approach (27:33), and how much David Zdrilic is to blame for Perth Glory's awful performances (36:58).

Later on, they discuss Melbourne City's goalkeeping situation ahead of the Christmas Derby (47:30), what we learned from Adelaide's big win over the Mariners (55:25), and a check-in on how Giancarlo Italiano is going in his second season as Wellington head coach (1:06:25).

Christian and Jake then finish with score predictions for each match of Round 9 in the A-League Men (1:14:23).
