Now, you see, this is what I was worried about. The Heart have got their defence sorted out - they're getting about 7 or 8 people behind the ball when they're on defence, and we can only get about 4 attacking players up there. There's no way through the defence and we have to resort to hit-and-hope, like Iffy just did. As I say, the Heart can get right back in this if they can wear us out.

Disagree. The Heart have been extremely ordinary in the front half and we actually look organised at the back.


Hit and hope? He took it past two players on the edge of the box and made room for the shot. If it had been on target the keeper wouldn't have had a sniff. I'd hardly call it hit and hope. If we play with the same patience we did in the first half, the chances will come, Only one team looks like winning this at the moment and it's not the Heart
+1 again sir.

 Sorry, Jag, but it doesn't matter if we play like Barcelona if the ball doesn't go in the net.



I really can't be bothered any more. Enjoy finding something else to worry about

Wellington Phoenix you are playing some lovely football. I actually want to cry because it is nice to watch.

Nice to look at but requires a little more effort to complete the job...

Yep I'll concede that. In comparison to the last 8 weeks though? I think you'd agree its actually nice to watch.

Agreed. I'm scared...

I will try..last 10mins the chances have mot been as clear cut with players queing up and the delivery taking more time. hence the Sanchez on action  I think.

So much this! 

If there isn't an option available to them, then they don't need to push the pass. I'm delighted to see them play the ball around the box and wait till a better option becomes available.

Yeah I can see that. I guess even in spite of this, we are looking like a team that 'wants' to play football. I think with the form we have been in, this is a massive reversal so I give a little leeway that its not quite right (because its not like we are familiar with playing like this at any point in time recently.)

+1. Don't think Sanchez brings anything to the table, to be honest. We don't need a passenger in midfield when you know they will be coming at us later in the game to try and salvage something

I know nothing about football, eh? Well, I've played enough to know that "keep putting the pressure on and the goals will come" is completely nonsense. The Nix are definitely playing like champs, but the Heart have got as many clear scoring opportunities this half as we have, through dumb luck and loose balls.

 Sanchez doesn't have enough mongrol about him to justify subbing him on as we tire.

You really need to learn to read what it written rather than assume what you think is written. Its not the first time you have been told that either.

 Any attendance figure yet?

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Who said you know nothing about football? Who said "keep putting the pressure on and the goals will come"?  Nobody has said either of those things as far as I can see?
