Kawasaki Frontale vs Western Sydney Wanderers 1/4/2014 7:00PM

A win would be nice....

I bet the J-league's top scorer doesn't sit on the bench for this one!

A win almost definitely puts us through, although i wouldn't be too sad with a draw.

We better park the bus well for this one

How good is a 9pm kick off. Don't want to put pressure on next game just in ace we can't beat Renhe

Thoughts on the match

- No surprises this time so we know what to expect, not as good as Ulsan but definitely better than the Chinese team

- Form isn't too bad considering it was a last minute loss to CCM

- Team was tired so expect wholesale changes to the starting lineup, Santa, kubi, haliti, mooy, la rocca, trifiero, Mullen, golec, cole, d'apuzxo and Tyson. They looked like they just ran out of puff in the end so can't see any of the starters from Saturday starting

- Can see them playing there strongest lineup as there acl campaign is on the line

- good luck to the travelling supporters!!

True, but I hate bridge as a number 10 and would rather a mooy that played 60mins on Saturday. The fact that we have rotated most of the squad it is unfortunate that la rocca is the one that must play as he is rock solid in defence. He will probably get a rest next Saturday night.

I think I heard that spira hasn't come back in good shape from his London trip with the soceroos. Think popa is rejuvenating him for the finals series so won't play the next few.

Will be interesting to see the sort of game time Ono will get. I'd rather him fully fit to take on the roar though.

Shinj almost certain to start at 10 IMO. Something like this, I do reckon. 

                 Jerrad

Mullen   Spira   Golec   Shannon

        Iacopo       Aaron

Kwabs         Shinj         Bridgey

                   Tomi

Whatever the case, in Popa we trust and I will be screaming for the lads at Todoroki Athletics Stadium

Happily take a draw from this one. Then a win at home against Guizhou and we're through, regardless of the result against Ulsan.

Bus pls

Godzilla plz.

B!tch, plz. We GOT this.

Tyson clean sheet

A 0 - 0 draw would be more than acceptable from this one. 

pressure is more on Kawasaki, just gotta turn up and do our Job.

Prefer we dont park the bus as we look shaky at times. Kawasaki should have got a draw at least in the last game. they wont waste chances like they did. 

A draw will get us through if Guizhou don't win their game.

Pumped for this. Tempted to say that we should play full strength. Domestic season is effectively over.

A draw will get us through if Guizhou don't win their game.

How does that work?

The standings for our group in reach for the top 2 are still pretty close.

They attack and a quick transition to counter and score a goal.

Walk in the park...

Walk in the park...

For who?

I dislike tuesday. I hope we can win this.

Lets just park the bus

Double park?

Have we ever got the results while trying to park the bus? Seems we ALWAYS concede when trying to defend.

Just doesn't work for us.

**** the bus *****. Best form of defense is a good offense. Attack *****!

Jock stein knew what to do.

Just racking up my weekly post count for a positive result...
