Matchday: Discussion and Highlights

Wow derby was awesome, Wander fans didn't stop singing for 90 mins. We really need a striker, don't think the guys we have can cut it tbh.

That bold guy at the back had a great performance. Del Piero as always . Tight ball control and dribbling is 10x better than friking any other player in the A-League. Wanderers look like a well organised team who like to dig in. Can see them succeeding this season if they keep performances like these up...
So glad to see McFlynn dropped and Emerton on the right wing again. Those two changes really changed the way we played alongside a very inexperienced team.

Del Piero just show's how shite the A-League in terms of raw quality really is

Emmo and Antonis both link up very well with ADP in my opinion. Culina will also do an excellent job I feel... Very intelligent player with great technique.

Lovrek is a good player, but I feel he isn't suited to the 9 role. I think he was bough before we knew we'd get Del Piero. We could do with a real #9... Hopefully Chianese can improve his shooting and play there...

Culina, ADP, Emmo, Antonis (if and should play), bold guy at back. All players that have displayed good performances so far.

WANDERERS 1 -0 Roar

Stopped Brisbanes passing game and played the counter reasonably well. Bridge

Great win from WSW, especially considering the quality of the opponents.

Adelaide top of the table
Shameful dive from Geronimo, but we outclassed the Nix for pretty much the whole game before that anyway.

Great win WSW!

Hoping for a Sydney one , two later today.

Sydney escape in that one... Horrible performance. A couple of moments of magic from Emmo and Abbas and another good game from ADP but overall little cohesion and poor passing...

The more and more I watch the footage, the less I think it was a dive.

Yau!! CC 0-1 Syd

Just tuned in.

Right, what the hell is going on? 7-2 with 20 minutes to go...

This is an insane game.

Thought that was a typo .

East Sydney LOL FC.

saw it was 7-2 on the news this morning, dafaq happened?

Adelaide beat Roar 1-0 to stay at the top of the table for the 5th straight week.

Sydney collapse 3-2 to Victory having been 2-0 up after 48 minutes.

FFs... I was at the game. Great performance up till the 60th minute where the players, the coach and the crowd had pretty much all decided the game was already won.

Such a shame. The first goal was beautiful and it was definitely our best performance yet.

I don't understand the substitutions though. I presume Ale wasn't 100% because he didn't look it on the field and subbed at 65 was way too early and our game went downhill. If he wasn't though, there should have been a better plan to fill in when he came off.

Mallia who was rightfully dropped cannot come on and play as a #10...he's rubbish.

Then Yau is subbed.. Sydney's most dangerous all night. In a game where we should have been holding our lead staunchly and hitting them on the break, they took off our number one counterattacking weapon. Ridiculous.

Then McTurnovers come on .

Just threw away 3 points... Ridiculous.

Anyway... Bosschaart . Best CB in the league and Ryall partners him well. I liked tonight's back four. He made a huge difference.

Yau's pace

Abbas Best performer for me.

Emmo was also good tonight.

Del Piero off = Sydney start losing.

Watched till half time... Some good linkup plays and was really impressed by Yau's speed and acceleration on and off the ball... It looks like when we took off three of our better players, we went downhill... It was like subbing off Messi, Xavi and Iniesta off... The players coming on, do not have a similar affect on the pitch as what the pros do. Ok, ADP wasn't 100% but subbing him off 65 min wasn't wise... Why we subbed on McFlynn for Yau (I think) baffles me...

Great win tonight. Still top of the ladder.

Kizz I feel so sorry for Del Piero right now. I thought Bonera was bad, then I saw McFlynn.

At least Yau is looking like a good player. Scored a few goals this season.

Robbie Kruse scored and had an assist earlier this morning in Fortuna Düsseldorf's 2-0 win over Hamburger SV.

Kruse is in great form right now. Also had a MOM performance the week before.

I missed the game yesterday. Not really fussed 1-2 isn't that bad, not sure how the performance was.

McFlynn isn't news, known that for more than a season.
