Moss 7 He's been so consistant all season.
Christie 8 More impressive every game
O'Dor 6 A little unstable this game. Solid Enough tho
Dodd 7.5 Another good game, Our Rock.
Lochhead 7 Solid, offers good attack
Felipe 8, Some great touches. Class again. Great goal in between 2 defenders
Daniel 7, Offers so much on attack. Defence is steadily improving
Ferrante 6, Solid enough.
Johnsen 7, Workhorse. Terrific.
Smeltz 6.5, Very high workrate, a few silly fouls and offsides.
Aloisi 6.5, Held together the midfield well, a bit rusty on attack.
George 6.5, Made a good impact. Communication a worry.
Coveny 4, Did he touch the ball.
MOM - Felipe.

Covs had one decent touch...but he's certainly not playing as well as the others
I like tautologies because I like them.

The way i look at it why play Coveny when you can have his exact
style minus 10 years. (Smeltz)

I agree Xcellent, your ratings are about what I thought.
Ferrante didn't have a lot of impact on the game this week.
and yeh ODor got bundled away from the ball for their 2nd
goal.
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

Agree with you though maybe Moss 8?

Yeah i would like to see how Cleberson would do instead of O'Dor,
but O'Dor and Dodd are working well 2getha so im not so sure. I
really think Ferrantes days are numbered because Tim Brown is
working back to fitness and the new signing of Ahmad Elrich. But a
draw isnt bad, i still think George has something to offer and i
would like to see him again next week!
Yeah why not! He's outstanding.

Moss: 7, Did well with the situations he was put in.
Lochhead: 7, Didn't see to much other than runs down the wing,
but solid none-the-less.
Dodd: 9, Absolutley solid! Rock hard as well!
O'Dor: 8, Was a great combination with Dodd, though put
himself in awkward situations sometimes.
Christie: 7, Good game, surprised me there ol' Plodder
Johnson: 6, Quiet. Didn't see of here too much from him.
Aloisi: 6, Tryed too hard to prove himself against his old
club I think. Though did his job ok.
Ferrante: 4, Still not worth the space. Wait till Elrich is
ready....
Felipe: 9, Stunner! Beautiful combination with Daniel, proper
Brazilian flair
Daniel: 7, Played well alonside Felipe. Lots of passes,
crosses and no rolling around after a foul.
Smeltz: 6, Got the goal we needed, so did his job. Extra
coudos because he has a mullet!
Subs
Coveny: 6, Didn't see too much of him, but was ok.
George: 6, Again, too short a game time to judge properly, but
rushed his passes.

I Thought Dodd looked a little unsteady early on. May have been due
to the repeated knocks to the head...
But he got better once they made him look like a rugby player...

Moss had a 7 for me... I'd like to see him come out more on corners
etc, we looked shakey on set peices tonight and that would of
helped.
Lochead a 6 didn't get up the field as much in recent weeks,
didn't seem to be involved.
Odor and Todd 7's generally very good most of adelaids attacks
came down the flanks. The ref hated Dodd!!
Plodder a 6 - did some nice things but was guilty of some poor
passing particularly in the first half.
Alosisi - work horse 6 - nothing special tonight.
Ferrante - much like Aloisi does alot of work defensively...
didn't push up as much tonight which i don't know if it is a good
thing or bad thing. 6
Daniel - a 7 better tonight than last couple of weeks, a
couple lovely nut megs, seems really passionate which is
great.
Campos a 8 generally very good was greedy once or twice and
could of laid it off, one particular instance in the first half
stands out... but who can begrudge a person for shooting.
Smeltz 5. got a goal yes, but other than that gave silly
fouls, passed poorly at times and needs to relearn the offside
rule. His worse game this year.
and i forgot Johnson... which probaly means he deserves a 5,
didnt really see him today.

midfielder. Definitely not enough to drop his rating to a 4. Go
learn a bit more about the game and how its played

my ratings:
Moss 3. Didn't score from any of his kicks
Christie 2. No shots.
Dodd -56. got the ball in his own 6 yard box, and didn't
score. Waste of space

Smeltz scored, surely he should get a 10...

Its not his shooting that letting him down, its the fact that with
Aloisi and Johnson as the holding roles, so he should be
getting up LOTS MORE! Every time he tries to be fancy and do
little quick passes, he screws up! But there is still time to prove
himself. Christie has impressed me in his new role as right back,
very competant there. shabba1212007-09-23 13:57:03

Moss 7 Solid as usual
Christie 7 Not the plodder of V1, looks comfortable at
RB
O'Dor 6 Still learning
Dodd 8 Solid again, very efficent performance.
Lochhead 7 Stable enough
Felipe 8, What can I say?
Daniel 7 Is manning up.
Ferrante 6 Great passes, sometimes lets himself down
Johnson 7, Tireless
Smeltz 7, Offsides a tad annoying.
Aloisi 7, Sometimes reactions are slow, but his age is a factor there.
George 6.5, We saw him!
Coveny 5, Not an impact player

Interesting the way our midfield is setting up - Johnson, Aloisi and Ferrante all seemed to sit in front of the back four - with Felipe and Daniel pushing on. This left a lot of space in the middle of the park and as a result Adelaide controlled a lot of possession.
It may be that Herbert had sought to give Adelaide very little
space in the attacking third. It may be it is the nature of the
players on the park. Tim Brown is far more inclined to close down
space and harrass for instance.
I'm not sure i have a preference at this stage. The main thing
is that the midfield operates as a unit and to a plan.
I do think, however, that Ferrante and Johnson were very quiet
- perhaps as a result of this approach - and that we relied almost
entirely on the Brazilians, Smeltz to try and unlock Adelaide.
Interestingly, both our goals came from wing back delivery
(Lochhead and Christie balls into the box). If we are going to have
so many midfielders holding, it is important those wing backs get
forward. Perhaps that is part of the plan?

Coveny touched the ball once! and it was class, straight to smeltz
and smeltzy almost put it away

I'm starting to warm to Ferrante too. BUT i think with Elrich and Brown coming in, he will find it hard to hold his spot. Says nothing about the player, it just shows our depth.

i thought Aloisi had a poor game and Felipe should be made King or
Mayor of wellington. Him and George in the same starting lineup?
Feverzone played quite well until we fell behind.

As has been pointed out, just because a player isn't
shooting/scoring doesnt mean players arent having good games. This
isn't FIFA Football on your Xbox. Johnson had a great game, those
who say they never saw him, he is our 10 yard man, won a stack of
possession, and allowed others to push forward. How many
times did he track back, stop counter attacks, when other players
wastefully lost possession on attack? One of my picks
for MOM.

As with some of the above comments i think Ferrante did pretty well
last night . He is getting better every week and yes his shoting
isn't great but that hardly warrants a 4
Permalink

Ferrante certainly didn't have a 'bad' game but he definately
didn't play as well as last week. The great passes that we saw v
Sydney just weren't happening. I'd give him a 6 or 6.5
