mack Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The Western Sydney Wanderers failed to take advantage of their opponents going down to ten men as the Mariners & Wanderers played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at Homebush. With the return of Josh Risdon from international duty the home side were fieldling a full strength linueup against the Mariners whose team included young gun Daniel De Silva and it was the visitors who struck first. After building an attack on the left flank, Storm Roux found Andrew Hoole with a cut-back, and Hoole fired in a weak shot that Vedran Janjetovic did his best impression of Andrew Redmayne with, dropping it cold in front of Asdrubal who had the simplest goal he'll ever score to make it 1-0. Despite the setback the home side mounted attack after attack, and they equalised from the penalty spot in the 39th minute. Roly Bonevacia was smashed from behind with a shoulder charge in the box and the referee had no hesitation awarding the penalty. Marquee striker Oriol Riera stepped up and powered a brilliant penalty into the side netting that the Mariners keeper couldn't keep out. The third goal was awarded to De Silva but could easily have been an own goal for Brendan Hamill, who had subbed on for an injured Michael Thwaite. Hoole put De Silva in own goal and he lifted the ball over Janjetovic with the final touch being smashed into the back of the net by a despairing Hamill. The Wanderers came back yet again thanks to another less than adequate disaply of goalkeeping. Josh Risdon steamed down the right flank, and fired in a cross to the edge of the 6 yard box, Glover spilled it into the path of Roly Bonevacia who summed up the situation perfectly and emphatically finished past Glover and the diving Mariners defence. Hoole saw a late red card after a second yellow offence, but the Wanderers weren't able to maintain any level of control over the ball, giving away soft fouls & mishit passes that allowed the Mariners to waste enough time to end the game in a 2-2 draw. The Wanderers face Sydney FC next weekend on Saturday 21 October. View full article Link to comment
WestSyd Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I am pretty sure it was Hoole who was sent off. Also I think the media talking up our Spanish players all week maybe wasn't the best thing for us. Cejudo ain't the new Ninkovic..yet.

sonar Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Llorente was our best by a long way. I didn't mind the long balls over the top but it was the effing offsides that killed us at times. I think it will take a little more match time for the team to gel properly. We weren't as crisp or direct in our passing as last week, but it still is miles ahead of what we dished up last season. When these guys get it together they will absolutely give some team a big bum smack this season. lol wendybr, Horus, Wobblies and 2 others 5 Link to comment
Dyssius Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I don't think Riera dropped back to involve himself in play at all. Just spent the whole match standing offside. Much less effective than last week. wswtragic, JayZko and matty 3 Link to comment
DeeDee Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Great result considering how poor and lethargic we were / poor and lethargic considering how good we were last week. Hopeing it was just an off day as we will need to be up for it come next week. wendybr and wswtragic 2 Link to comment
xxBrandonxx Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Can't play like that next week. Well be crucified. I could tell from the kick off we weren't gonna turn up. Mariners I thought unlucky not to get the win, we were so sloppy and the penalty was REALLY soft. What happened to last weeks team? Valter43 and wendybr 2 Link to comment
octa9ona11 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 That was one of the most flat performances I have seen from us. A stark contrast to last week. The one positive I took was Llorente looks to be one hell of a signing. Really disappointed with Riera tonight. He put in so much work last week and was constsntly pumping the team up. This week he looked quiet and stagnant! Still early days! JayZko, Wobblies, wendybr and 1 other 4 Link to comment
wanderersfanatic Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Poor performance, I thoughts cornthwaite had a noticeably poor game.. I'd start bridge next week instead of Jumpei.. If we played like this in the derby, we'd lose by 3 or more. Our defense is a worry. wendybr, StringerBellend and Wobblies 3 Link to comment

Neverbloom Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 the best part of the experience for me was when we got to practice the match countdown not only once but twice, the first time we did it i think my heart died a little, the 2nd time i went on the top of spotless stadium to jump off, anything to escape that level of cringe the other best part was when they blared this lyric all over the speakers These n(word) ain't ready for action pseudonym, JayZko, EmMac and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment

JayZko Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) I reckon we slacked off abit in training, 2nd to everything today everyone boycott that crappy snitzel place at the southern end of the stadium please 28 bux I got burnt snitzel on a roll no butter no mayo no lettuce afl bogan running the **** I could pull better food out of my arse people with no food training shouldn’t sell food Edited October 14, 2017 by JayZko Link to comment
tardotz Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I think Bridge needs to start, he is not an impact player and was ineffective when he came in. I would start him, let him go till he runs out of fuel and then replace him. JayZko, wswtragic and EmMac 3 Link to comment

Horus Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 No urgency, need to be better for next week I'm not sure if Oriel was told to stay high, but he went missing tonight...cannot believe he and Fathead didnt tap in for the third...Llorente was everywhere - agreed that he is the signing of the season so far... Gombau might have already have a parking pass....better get him a set of keys to go with it EmMac 1 Link to comment

lloydy136 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) They played us perfectly and set the template for other teams to follow. They flooded midfield with numbers to make it hard for us to do our short passing game. They tactically fouled and looked to draw as many fouls as possible themselves to break up play and slow the game down. It worked. Horrendous mistake from janjetovic was very costly because we were in control up to that point. On a side note hoole is a massive ****wit.
