Like I said, Costa played well, but 15 minutes of good play does not = man of the match, unless you really do something special.  I never said the goal came down to luck either, it was a very good finish, he got over the top of a quite awkward ball that seemed a little behind him, and put it into the corner beautifully.
 
FMD he mish*t it, it bounced over the goalie's head. He intended to volley it straight in. Total luck. The only thing about it he got right was the fact he was in position to take advantage of a very good cross. saying that I thought he played very well.

What's sight without sound? Love without peace? Copulation without conception?

Can't believe 4 people voted for Lockhead.
Have a look at one of the goals when the attack was down the left hand side, the bloke that scored the goal was in front of Lockhead and he headded for the near post and the guy in front of him scored on the far post- which is where you would expect a left sided defender to be.
The guy is a joke and if he playes like that on the 14th November, then we are in trouble.
 
Don't agree. If it's the 2nd goal you're talking about it was 5 on 4 and Lochhead was left to cope with two men in the six yard box, clearly impossible. If it's the 3rd goal then I would say Durante was at least equally at fault - he made a nothing run back towards goal, failing to cover the runs of either Corica or Bridge. Lochhead made the decision to at least cover the pull back to Corica.
 
Both goals resulted from Muscat a) failing to deal with Brosque and b) being caught hopelessly out of position. Lucky for us he's not playing on Nov 14th?
 
Edit: generally I'm very happy this season with both Manny and Lochy defensively.
