R19 vs Melbourne Victory | Fri 15 Feb | 7.35pm | Eden Park | Morningside Tavern

Singh just lacks that physical presence at vital times. Guess it will come in years to come.

That tackle through the back of Singh not even given for a foul! Definitely yellow!

As a long suffering Nix fan I'm already hoping we just hang on for the point!

Bring Burgess on please

This one is going down to the wire.  Cacace is much better in this half.

Four extra minutes

Rudan in full voice at the sidelines. Love his passion.

Honda is a machine. Nothing too flash, just complete efficiency.

Whew, actually pretty happy with that point. 

Good game for the crowd, will ensure lots of them come back.

A bit disappointed to get a third draw vs Victory after ahead in each one. Still, that was a decent performance by us.

I think it's fair to say that we have been Victory's equals this season

Disappointing considering the real soft penalty, but I thought MV were the better side overall. After the goal we started playing a lot better - the final ball just not quite there for much of the game.

The 23k deserved the pizza. Not the most exciting game for them.

A cagey draw.  Game much improved at the end for both teams. We were just about able to match Victory without Toivonen and with Honda only playing a third of the game.

If Toivonen plays, there's no chance we win that. Athiu killed every attack.

Most draws in the league now with 7.

No Antonis either. But we've shown that we can hold our own even in games where those guys have started for MV.

Krishna really should've had a 2nd eh

Agreed. Toivonen buries those chances Athiu stuffed up.

Cacace very good again, Roy too.

They were missing Honda in both of the last two games, but yeah - we played against Ola and Toivonen. MV haven't had those 3 for most of the season.

The replay of Roy missing that chance to put us 2-0 up, boy that stings. Great save from Thomas though and Roy had a very good game I thought.

I feel like we really need to get top 4 and this was a big chance; last week too. It's a bit shark that Newcastle are playing their 2nd stringers v City

I hope this stalemate with Victory gets decided in the grand final. 

How good would the build up to that be after 3 draws! 

Both City and Adelaide have pulled out so many last gasp wins this season that they remain frustratingly out of reach. In contrast we have unfortunately blown vital chances in the last few minutes of key matches that have cost us heavily. It's just one of those things.

bloody enjoyable game -awesome croud -pity we couldnt hear them more - some good performances -could watch that run down the wing by Libby all night 

I feel like we don't have quite enough off the bench. Sheridan started really strong but has never really looked like scoring. On the basis of his performances off the bench, I'd struggle to hand him a contract next season.

Cacace was just great. Everyone did their job well though. Victory were strong and organised. A deserved draw.

Cacace just gets better and better for me; most young players start to wane around now; about 1 1/2 seasons in - but he improves most games. He had a few bad ones in the middle of the season but has come on in leaps and bounds. Singh and Rufer are starting to struggle in my eyes.

Thought sheridan showed some really good touches in his 10 min cameo. Would like to see him get a few start so he can show us hes worth a contract next year.

He’s had about five minutes and shown he has more skills than anyone on the team

Unfortunately he had his chance against CCM and blew it; not helped by Nichols, but hey.

Sheridan was really good off the bench. 

While I am not as much in love with Sheridan as many here, I think it is only fair to judge his quality on more than just cameo appearances.  I think he is a decent player and my only query is whether he fits into the team as structured by Rudan.

We should have won that but happy to take a point. Good crowd the announcer said 22k but TV said 23k??

Sherry created a couple of good attacking opportunities, but hasn't found the Siggie/Tim Brown late finish yet. Lucky headbandage?

Will take the draw. Reasonably even but MV missed two sitters. We are still short of 2/3 players that would take us to the next level.

Nah, shave it all off and I 100% guarantee he will score next game he plays.

A few thoughts.

/ Entertaining game. 

/ Yes, Roy could've scored a second, but gee, they had there chances to.

/ Kurto solid once again. 

/ Cacace immense. 

/ Mandi has serious fitness problems. Great player but runs out of gas big time. 

/ Singh good, but needs to get stronger. 

/Fenton, Cacace and rufer has been revelations for us this season. 

/ Kopa better than Doyle. V composed on the ball.
