The result from tonight's game is very important from the Phoenix's perspective. We can possibly jump either one of these teams but I don't know what i want from it?
Assuming we can pull three tomorrow:
Queensland win so we can chase Mariners?
Draw so we are right in the thick of it?
CCM win so we can jump QR and hope they lose against Adelaide?

I gueessss a draw would be ideal so we could still overtake either one. But I'd also be happy with tonight being the start of either team's massive downfall.

another one of those 3-3 draws would be good

Kick-off at 9pm
Simon and McAllister in for CCM
McMaster (gk) and Minnieconn in for Q'land
A game with big implications for the Phoenix's top four aspirations

Nichols for Roar then Caceres for CCM both missing absolute sitters - join Aloisi in the Hall of Shame.
An all action affair this.

We want queensland to win. They have a much easier run in so we want to chase the mariners. If we win our game in hand at sydney tomoro we are equal with CCM, them ahead on goals. we both play melbourne away and adelaide at home fpor last two games, where we would need to match one and better the other result. See th Top 4 Equation thread
Oh Wellington is wonderful. We got the wind, the rain and the phoenix. Oh Wellington is wonderful.

No Alosi-type horrors for him. Minniecon is having the best game I've yet seen from him. Ripped them open done that flank.

Pretty good first half imo end to end action all half.

Do you think possibly a draw is better because being the A-League either could slip up. Being an Arsenal fan this season you learn you cant expect to beat anyone, neither can Queensland.

Qld win is best for us, LF1 proved that in another thread

Spot on. He's the best player out there by miles. Looks like setting something up every time he gets the ball. Heffernan is really struggling to contain him.

Good first half but the finishing at times was pretty poor.

It was horrible!
1 clear chance from each team wasted, couldve been 2-2

I was trying not to be too harsh. Hopefully they can carry on wasting chances in the rest of their games.

Good match so far. Some nice passing moves. Qld should take it but could still easily go either way at this stage. So many chances!

Another good chance missed created by zullos pace. But unlike other wasn't a SITTERGinja Ninja2009-01-10 22:16:12

Its no longer a problem.

Well sh*t... that had to be the worst goalkeeping error of the A-League this season. Don't sign McMaster...
2-2

McMaster showing inexperience in goal for Qld.
Its no longer a problem.

We will if we make it to the playoffs, but agree. Queensland in particular are looking so dangerous

Definitely. I reckon Queensland is the best side in the A-League at the moment (even if it hurts to say it). They keep possession better than anybody else and generally dominate matches, even if they don't always come away with a win.

Based on recent A League games, Moss and Paston look pretty good.

This match has been played at a pretty decent pace so far. Gotta be some tired legs out there...

Stupid comment I would rather have both of them then Melbourne and Adelaide and then at least our playoff hopes are in our own hands instead of hoping for certain results from other games.
