I think we need a win to get revenge, we are good enough for a win and Auckland need to be found out. But I think a draw is a fine result against an inform team and it will be disgusting exiting that stadium if we lose.
Despite us going up against a superior team on the table I am fairly confident. I mean their streak has got to finish at some point. Plus, if you look at their results I think the most impressive one is the 2-0 victory against a Nix team in which we were not at full fitness and didn't have all our starters. Also, I've watched all AFC games and we have definitely been the closest to scoring against them off that Ishige header.
Their other games were:
-A 2-0 win against a woeful Brisbane. Not much to say on this one, Brisbane beat themselves more than AFC beat them.
-A last gasp 1-0 victory against Sydney who did not have Lolley (injured early), Costa (didn't play) and I believe another starter was out too. Plus they just came back from a mid-week game in Asia to play in NZ. Sydney looked like the walking wounded in this game.
-A 1-0 win against a fairly mediocre Macarthur team. Albeit this one was away from home and I thought AFC possibly deserved another goal.
-A 2-0 win against the woeful Jets where AFC did not look that convincing until the last 20 minutes. Albeit this game was heavily affected by awful weather and AFC did cope with that fairly well.
I just think despite one of the best starts in A-League history they're yet to get found out. Rather than outplaying teams they seem to grind them into the ground with superior fitness, often scoring late. Maybe this has more to say about the lack of fitness of other teams when AFC played them.
