Western Sydney Wanderers vs Ulsan Hyundai 26/02/2014 7:30PM

Our passing was atrocious

Our defence was fragmented at best

Ulsan was quick, polished, assured, pressing

We were slow, uncertain, slow to create and at times looked like we had no structure

All the Ulsan players had to do was be in the same postcode as a Wanderer and he had a 80% of getting a free...Youssouf particularly was manhandled like it was a league game

JP wasn't match fit and it showed for most of the game

Shinji's influence waned and Aaron couldn't pick up the slack

Bridgey was a passenger

But for all that doom and gloom remember...we aren't East ***** Sydney ***** F. ***** C...

 

 

 

 

I said a month or two back that I thought we had no chance in this comp. I think tonight I am even more sure about it. Guys like Topor Stanley and D'Apuzzo are always going to get exposed at this level. We are a two year old club and just not ready for this intensity of competition. We are still building the team/squad we really want to have.

I thought the Korean team really taught a lesson tonight. They actually played a very different style to what I expected. One of the main problems is that I didn't think we did any homework on them. They were very threatening in attack and actually won a lot of balls in the air. Something we didn't expect and should have tried to nullify.

I think this campaign wii be a great experience for us. I think this first up game is also something to learn from. Hopefully we get better and better and in the remaining games pick up a few points. I also thought we played well in general play. Just need to take our chances more. But encouraging signs that we can do something in our remaining games.

 

Yeah your right, I cant imagine Popa did any homework on them at all... probably couldn't be arsed with something as tedious as that.

I thought we were shocked by their aerial presence and weren't prepared for it. Just my opinion but I could be wrong. That's the way it seemed to me watching the game. Or maybe we were prepared for it but just couldn't handle it when it came. Don't know?

 

Do you genuinely think, after all we know & have learnt about Popa in his time here, he would not have done homework? I'm hoping you have just worded it wrong or something. That guy, was near on impossible to stop. I think the latter part of your comment holds more water.

 

Onwards & upwards.

Yeah well I hope you're right. I don't think he was impossible to stop. At least we know about him now.

 

The only way to stop him was to stop supply. He was 2.08m. What could we do? The only thing I'd suggest is giving him a proper dog shot on half way in the back, simply to let him know it wont be an easy night. But that's just me...

I'm mainly referring to their general play. I think the 3 goals were completely preventable, as they were simply defensive errors.

The amount of people that cry more tears on this website than the water that's in the Parramatta river over the incredibly tiny  issue of flares is incredible LOL

I had no expectation to win and thought we were f*cked. Then, BAM, we get a goal in the first minute. False. F**king. Hope. I didn't know any of their names but that tall striker they had was quite a disturbance in the back there.

I personally think we're f*cked for the Asian champions league, apparently the Japanese team that we drew in our group is even better LOL

Stellar performance from everyone who made it out to the stadium tonight, it's always hard with a mid week clash. But 11,000 people was great to see (weird sitting in different seats wtf!?). Also that was an amazing banner before the match, I read the writing but what was that thing on it? Was that a Kangaroo? It was menacing to say the least!

i was in the away end the entire match.....and they had 3 chants one which was to the tune of the referee's a wanker......it was a very fun time

it wasnt the best match to watch but i guess welcome to Asia to us

When the club is being threatened with points reduction it's not a tiny issue at all it becomes a selfish act where you are putting your own agenda over the clubs.

The fact that you give 0 f*cks over whether the club loses points or not is pretty disheartening.
