Phoenix v Brisbane - January 9

Goals are coming now. First 2nil win over central, now 3-1 over the roaring pussy cats. Good win. Nice way to start 2010 Dadi cool is the man, he's got class, he's patient, his skills are bloody awesome.

They were definately keepers boots 2nite..rising shots over the bar. Boro4eva2010-01-09 22:12:30

Apart from 20min or so in teh 2nd half, this is a prophetic post. Defenders staying tight on Dadi, made huge amount of room out wide yet the roar would spread too quickly to cover, leaving huge gaps in the middle, for Dadi, to score. Great game to watch. Didn't see the Roar goal but didnt really matter in teh end.

CDM for Manny is a good position, its hard to play well there in the eyes of fans because you spend a lot of time invisible (AKA Timmy B before he started getting forward more) and Lochy showed us some close to season 1 form running up the flank. Ifill and Dadi seemed to work very well off each other, can't wait to see Greenie in the mix next Friday.

Surely shes a model?

Pics or STFU.

Would if I could. Hopefully someone else can provide one.

Just got back from the game, great result. It was a pretty open game, there could have been another four goals scored quite easily. Dadi looks class, him with Greenacre and Ifill is a mouthwatering prospect. Mention also to our fullbacks, not many teams can boast such offensive fullbacks on both flanks

Outstanding defence and interceptions from Manny. Dam he even helped out with the first goal with a great cross! very nice.

I bet Roar are now thinking why haven't we got Millier, Moore and Reddy!!

Good to see Dadi go so well, but Reddy was a standout. From where I was sitting they should have had two by halftime and another two brilliant saves in the second half. If Dadi was worth two goals then Reddy was worth 4

top 3 points
imperative it's backed up next week

in fact, in the words of American Song-Smith Leonard Kravitz
"Bring It On"

Back from the game.

Take a bow Ricki and the lads. Fantastic team effort. Dadi with a scorcher of a second goal and Reddy so solid at the back. Manny and Tim brilliant in those positions. All of you - whole team: blimmin legends.

Yeah you can tell Reddy felt some revenge with that victory over there his old team. Reddy is full of confidence. Here's an idea Dadi Dreadlocks for YF fans. I'm sure there are cheap dreadlock wigs out there??

Well said.

Nihou SCO3!

I took my 10 y/o sister to the game tonight, she loved it though she couldn't see a lot and missed Dadi's first goal. She thought Dadi was a girl when he came out lol.

Agreed - especially with a few hard to appease players like Caceres, Diego and Reddy

Pretenders or Contenders ? Whitby boy2010-01-09 22:22:34

Anyone got links for the goals ?? I couldn't see them too well...

Simply brilliant. shame about the late goal to them though.
Dadi is a good poacher, but not (IMO) as skilful as Ifill.

Ifill did not have the best game, he looked a bit out of sorts.

But a 3-1 win is great. Another win on Friday, and we are in with a good chance of sixth or better

Great game, such a different attitude a decent Keeper and a seasoned striker can make, the mixture looks great.

Was a terrific match apart from those dickheads behind me making ridiculous calls lol. Dadi is instant hero. Best goal i have ever witnessed. Finals here we come!

A strikers boots rather than a goalie,,,

Ifill still had a very good game. still beating players down the wings, great pass to Dadi for his 2nd goal.

Maybe not the best but pretty damn good.

Great result.
Just hope we can keep it up fot the nesxt few games.

Man love moments

Manny doing a perfect ballet pose and Brown looking a little too happy

Eugene has cool boots.

Quote of the day: "What's a Eugene Dadi ?"

nice game. Very nice indeed.

Great Game loved it great game

I think I know the dickheads you are on about haha.

Brilliant game, Dadi bloody surprised me with those goals, didn't see it coming. Fantastic. Glad he got a start now. Looks like he glues with the team.

Right, considering we are now fourth...

After 20 mins Adelaide 1-0 over Gold Coast

Thats good.

Agreed. Still beat heaps of players and could've had 2 on a different night + set up Dadi. It shows how awesome Ifill is when that is considered a bad game for him, though.

Manny has been learning some tae-kwan-do to help with his DM duties:


valeo2010-01-10 00:03:24

Ifill was still good tonight, missed that chance in the first half when one of their defenders fell over...but Ifill makes others better. Every time he ran at Franjic (sp?) I always felt he had an opportunity to make something happen again.

Um other teams must be sh*tting themselves now. We have a very solid team now. We have depth. We are banging goals in for fun. Our defence is solid. We even have a guy with the name Dadi - if that's not awesome I don't know what is.

excellent result. the photo by valeo looks likes somehing out of 300. but we won!!!!!!!!!!

just got home from game well worth the rental car and the drive to wellington,   managed to get dadi and reddy to sign my shirt before their warm ups now have everybody from this years squad.good to see dadi settle straight into the team and reddy making some vital saves, will be hard to pick man of the match good performance from the whole team
