MOTM vs Tards

Looked until Game Over Hard News2007-11-24 23:04:48

Vince Did The Job

Lia

lol at votes with paston

vince lia good effort mate 

Couple of crucial last-minute tackles from Dodd - would've been worse without him.

Fixed

lia did well to get the goal. but glen moss saved our ass in goal a couple times at least

Lia - goal-scorer

Vinny for MOM

Vince Lia.....watch him step up now in the three upcoming home games....

finally a mom poll that moss wont win

..mmm.motm..Kevin Muscat.

Tim Brown in the first half,

in the second half Felipe (returning to form) or Dodd (he seemed to get some harsh calls form the ref)

Have to say a joint effort not any particular player, how ever rules are rules and i'll be unpredictable and say Doddy!!!

A-League website stats = hopeless.

Dodd cleaned up every time, was positionally solid, and probably most important, was cool calm and collected every time he swept up at the back. Great for instilling confidence, and playing like a real natural centre-back.

For me its the new boy Rees,seems to have fitted in seamlessly  and at last the defence is starting have solid look about it ,now the strikers just have to stop being so tentative in and on the edge of the box ,you can have all the possession you want but its ultimately about sticking  the ball in net,still definitely  more positives than negatives last night!

Yea i agree Doddy was a work horse last night and saved our ass a number of times, as well as Rees, but he comitted quite a lot of fouls.

I thought the 1st half was average, no commitment up front and Filipe didn't push forward enough.
Lia had a blinder, great support goal too.
Din't really notice Brown at all, that could be a good thing.
Elrich picked his game up in last 30mins with good runs down the flank and setting up Lias goal.
I actually thought Tony was flat last night and missed a few tackles, althoughn he did push up and give a few decent crosses.
Daniel was okay, one decent shot, good passing with Filipe and co.

Definantly Dodd He Knows Like All Of Us Do That Thompspn Is To Dangerous To Have 1 On 1 And Dodd Stuck On Him And Without Him We Would Have Lost

Yeah Lia & Doddy had blinders! 

Whats happened to Lochead? His ball distribution in the last 4/5 games has turned to sh*t. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fA7XQpo1rc- goals from last night

Karl Dodd for me.  When Archie Thompson was getting onto long through balls and getting clear, inevitably Dodd would come across with a key play.  Oh, and what a run... typical though finish, a 'Nix player trying to be too cute rather than sniping an open goal... Felipe in the last 10 was shocking at that.

Lia for me, did well when it counted, thought dodd had an exceptional game also, and lets not forget the always consistant mossy

Both Vinny and Lia had great games, we should of won. Felipe should of punished that last ball he had in the box instead of give it to Smeltz(or Coveny I forgot who it was). Otherwise great game. Can't wait for next 3 weeks. Will see you on friday the again on saturday!!!

That's probably because they're the same person...

We can draw with the best of the best... now we need to start beating some damn teams!

Pained me to see Lochhead have an off game...but it also highlighted what an excellent job Dodd did. 

i think felipe is coming back to his best with that 2nd half performance

Felipe was better once he could drop back and run at players instead of playing in a striker's role. A bit like Ferrante, brings good qualities to the game (Ferrante's passing for example) but fish out of water too far up front. A bit like me.....

couldnt agree more, would rather see covs start upfront with smeltz an bring felipe back to the midfield for ferrante

Surely has to be Karl Dodd. Stunning game from him.

Lochhead may take a bit of adjusting to a back 3 situation, where he can't get forward as naturally as he is used to doing. That may explain his form v Melbourne.

The boys played very well int he second half. Filipe in the halves could be the solution as he seemed much happier their than up front. Now we need goals and wins.
Three weeks at home is going to be just the tonic the lads need, if we get the 20K the media are predicting then that will be sweet sweet icing on the cake to begin those 3 games.  

Dodd for me..covered a lot of ground and enabled the go forward effort to continue ahead of him..a good tackle to snuff out threat as well.

Dodsy! Locked up the leagues best striker.
