Western Sydney Wanderers vs Melbourne Victory 5/1/2019 7:50PM

I think Babble make it clear before the game... Llorente made made mistakes and at his age he won't learn......in other words he is finished

One positive was Tate Rusell.....Llorente should be nowhere near the team now.

Yes reckon he's out the door

Super proud of our performance tonight. Very proud given there favourites for the title, and given there team's quality.

Moving Roly into the middle made a difference we started going forward 

Anyone heard what the crowd total was?

I think 7k was mentioned somewhere, looked like 3-4K to me

Well that was better, waaay better than last week. We just need players who can finish. Riera was terrible. 

Happy I braved the rain. 

Fookin dogshite. That is all. 

Opposition goal keepers play like David De Gea against us but much better shift tonight, still a couple of times we were too casual in defense and it cost, ABJ was great, was not offside and that was a pen for sure

You can't have a go at the lads tonight, they gave it everything.

Majok was onside for his 1 on 1 with the keeper...linesman should have kept his flag down if unsure and let VAR sort it out. Not confident Majok would have tucked it away mind....

Good game from  Tate, looking forward to seeing more of him. ABJ had a good game, Riera still looks like he feels the world is against him...

We deserved a point.

I don't know if it's just me but Riera seems to have lost some pace...too slow.We made breaks on the counter and he was way off the pace to get into a position to take a cross.

Riera is shot..his head / mind is elsewhere, he would be dropped under normal circumstances for a little while...we dont have that luxury. 

we would have won if babbel was wearing an awesome shirt

So.... is Reira cooked or in a slump?

i would drop him he simply isnt there

honestly we looked 100 times better than we have looked the entire season pretty much so i am proud, not too much negative things to say

Something has clearly happened....we need someone like we had with Santa or Bridge to bust a gut and get to where you need to be

Not as lifeless as our record this season

Who would you put up front. Majok doesn't have the touch or control at the moment.

I think he might be cooked....hope he proves me wrong but yeah .....he needs time out of the team..no fun watching someone as miserable as he seems play week in week out...

Transfer window coming up...Babbel better get his german black book out

Lederer better get his cheque book out!! 

Im glad ABJ took the penalty.

i still would put majok purely because i believe he can grow into the role, he has had some decent shots same with nick tbh but sadly had some very good saves against both of them

As much as I don't like him, we need a Fornaroli type who is desperate to score.

We'll take him and Brattan

That's an easy retort. What's your opinion on fitzy? I think he could deliver more if he got more than 40 minutes in his contract!

You get a feeling with Riera things will come to a head soon. It is clear for all to see his mind has gone and is not happy in his work, we are carrying him. Needs sorting out.

We deserved a point.

The Assistant Referee at the northern called more for them than us.

How Toivenen stayed on the pitch is beyond me. (UNLESS THE FFA ARE INVOLVED)

One of the best halves we've had this season was against roar, when we had both Fitzy and Kamau on the wings. Fitzy plays positively, and I am baffled why Sotirio has been above him in the pecking order.
