Penalty after Daniel dive...

He was hipchecked. That was a penalty. The Goal line camera gives you the best view. It wasn't shoulder to shoulder

Top first half. I would't say dominating but certainly playing well. Two good goals. That Brizilian for Sydney should be in the book for that dive.

Its no longer a problem.

Yeah, why didn't he get a card..don't they normally get a card for such an awful attempt at getting a penalty?

Good job they have at least tightened up at the back they looked more than a bit shaky for the first half an hour.Lets hope they can push on with it.Wouldnt be surprised if he brings off Daniel early 2nd half cant afford for him to pick up another yellow and leave us with 10.

Daniel still looks a bit injured imo. Man, he is yin and yang that guy though. Brilliant one moment and shocking the next. Really happy he got that penalty - after they called it back from the 1st attempt I thought "Oh no not again".

Felipe has played well but he does have periods when he isnt sighted,needs to get a bit more involved.Anyone else think some of our delivery needs a shyte load of work.

Dodd went to clear missed the ball, casey got it and scored...Felipe shot a fantastic one from outside the penalty area.

Defense is getting better, still some problems down that right side though. Sydney are finding space to move the ball there.

Perhaps in the opinion of the referee it didn't warrant a caution. Afterall it was a pathetic attempt. No doubt though the the match inspector will be asking why he didn't issue a caution.

i disagree, i think the sydney guys have gone a bit quiet since we went ahead. at one stage i could hear im phoenix till i die. ferrante is looking good i think, as is dodd, hes an absolute meataxe at the back. agree about felipe, tends to go missing a bit.
this might b a bit unpopular but has ross aloisi done much? it doesnt seem to me like hes even winning his share of the 50/50s. people might disagree

To be honest, The Phoenix are showing good build up but the odd long ball creeps into the game and you kinda go "What??"

A few players are going down a little too easily. Daniel had a brain explosion which got him carded and it looks like he is trying to earn a 2nd one. Aloisi will pick up one for persistent infringement and was lucky not to get one for bringing down the attacking play. O'Dor and Dodd look very solid at centre back and Dood is pissing in the pocket of there Brazilian (simply named Patrick)

The Phoenix are looking to keep the qame flowing, quick restarts, positive football (even out of defence) They look solid but wouldn't say 'dominating'

Christie stood on his foot but it wasn't a penalty and Patrick added a half tuck in for difficulty

Most of them by Ferrante...But he has had a good game so far though, besides the few long kicks into nowhere.

Dead set serious. It was the spin Daniel put in after the contact.I thought he'd been shot out of a cannon when he did that.

Yeah, was a penalty for sure but Daniel's extra effort made it look quite comical.
 
Needs to be careful to with those spins, might land on his head next time.

O'dor almost got a goal but smothered by the goalkeeper...Great free kick from the side by Felipe.
 
Daniel seems to be slowing down, doesn't look good to me...might need to come off.

a post from someone on the sydney forum, they aren;t happy
 
''Looking at the team list, other than Juninho, that's pretty much our best team!

Certainly, stronger than the team lists for most of last season.

 Branco better slap them around a bit! '''''
