Western Sydney Wanderers vs Wellington Phoenix 11/02/2018 7:00PM

Need the boys to dig in and produce a second half. Vedran hasn’t really done much, but the back has shown signs of cracking. Very lucky not to be 1-1 at the end of the half there.

I am trying to improve my understanding of defensive stuff. Should Thwaite have tracked that Wellington player who moved clear to recieve the corner ball? Or was it Lustica who should have covered?

I just re-watched it. Was Thwaite’s man. On set pieces players are either marking an area or a man. Thwaite was marking that dude and he got away from him because when he came in and then cut back out Thwaite looked towards the ball and lost him in the crowd of players.

Should of been up by 3 or 4 at HT. (again)

It better not come back and haunt us. (again)

Just need the lads to put in a full 45 for the 2nd half. (for a change)

Not taking anything away from our performance so far, Riera is awesome and you can only play hat is in font of you....but geezz the Nix are a ******* awful side, terrible.

Yeah they are, but you gotta take your victories where you can

Ikonomidis.... wow amazing

I dont care how much our 18 costs. We need to keep him.

Well I’d like this open style game more if we had better players! One more energetic quality player up front with Ikono amd Riera and we’d be killing this. 

Dear Thwaite, all is forgiven!

24 shots to 3! Lol

OMG.....a second half goal...!

WTF, we scored, from a corner, in te second half??? 

Dont want to say it...ok I do...but I called it

Aaaannnd the new lad makes his presence known 

Now that was a class goal boys...!

Annnnnnddddd.. his hurt. Lol

bloody fathead and ikon. thats was pure class

Yep, can’t agree more. Great game even before the goal but that was awesome. Exactly the mongral we need

So... how often did Popa teams bang in 4?

tee hee, just teasing boys

Ahahahaha, and Sotirio scores!

If it had been a sfc player being held back like santa was in the box, it would have been a penalty

The best part is that we are still attacking, looking to score....and my dodgy stream has died...lol

Roly has been much better playing deeper as well. 

A decent performance. I hardly know what to think

Im very happy with this performance! Regardless of who our opponent is, the amount of improvement in the team is massive. And we equalled efc result against them. Santa still so enertaining and passionate. We needed this win and we needed the cleansheet! 

Can we please play the NIX every week

can't really complain about that result. Coulda/shoulda scored a couple more but 4-0 reflected the effort.

If The Ikon keeps playing this way he needs to be bought by Lederer for a long term deal.

They are playing Coldplay now that the match hosts have signed off lol.
