Was a great game, loved seeing us smash them, everyone was great except Macallister (of course)

You missed out Hearfield.

Yeah I can't believe Big Mac got red carded first minute for punching the ref either...

guess the point three was for the punch?

Vukovic � 6 � Looked shaky, but dealt well enough
Hearfield � 5 � Played Cazarine on for goal, got forward but was poor in crossing
Sigmund � 7.5 � Won penalty and was solid
Durante � 7.5 � As usual
Muscat � 8 � Won lots of ball, was tidy
Brown � 6 � Fairly average
Ward � 8 � Passed the ball well had some nice interplay too. Top class goal
Bertos � 5 � Again another average performance
Greenacre � 7 � As usual lots of running and held up ball well
Ifill � 7 � One or two moments still not at best. Pen goal

Pavlovic N/A

WTF game were you watching? Leo was totally carving them up on the right flank all through the first half and part of the second. He was sidestepping people and taking the ball off them, and working so well with Nicky Ward. If not for Ward's goal, he would have been easily my MOM.

Other gripe: Vukovic 4. He was freakin' embarrassing, not knowing when to come off his line, and when he did doing it in a half-assed manner.

Leo seemed to be working very hard tonight, and at times was getting hammered. He did an A.O.K job tonight, compared with some other games where he just seemed not to be so interested in the ball.

All had solid 7-8 games except for Vukovic and Hearfield who I thought were poor

Special mention to Dura who still played like a man possessed even though he was on one legvaleo2010-09-11 22:10:44

i agree with dolaras. bertos played well.
ward carved up and finally we have someone who can pass to feet through the middle of the park and move into space rather than playing some crazy long ball or some lofted cross to noone.
sigmund also played really well i thought.

Troy was quality

Really? Thought he was slightly better than last week but still played the Sydney player onside and never got a cross past the first man

I don't believe it's necessarily his fault, though - he just doesn't look comfortable at right back.

Vukovic - Are you Crowther in disguise?

Hearfield again worst player on the park.

kept every man and his dog onside for their goal.

MOM - Ward but Greenacre comes in close second imo.

i frighteningly agree with whooo

Yeah his crossing was just stupid. It looked as if he thought the ball would go through the defender, so many of his crosses went straight into a man.

Vukovic - 4.5, reminded me of Crowther
Hearfield - 3, just not very good
Durante - 7.5, solid usual self
Sigmund - 7.5, very improved, far less fouls which was good, just always looks panicked when on the ball, and desperate to get rid of it.
Lochhead - 6.5, tidy enough, few too many long balls. And take a touch before crossing it mate.
Muscat - 7, love him in midfield. Snuffs things out well. Though I reckon Lia could do that role pretty effectively and put Muscat to right back
Brown - 6.5, good header and once again tidy enough
Ward - 8, cracker goal and if he can keep that up all season he is ideal in the middle of the park I reckon
Bertos - 8, by his standards this season that was very very impressive from him.
Ifill - 7.5, looked more dangerous, made some good runs and excellent skill for Browns crossbar header.
Greenacre - I actually can't remember if he played good or bad
Pavlovic - not much time, but looked hungry as always. Good young prospect.

anyone think siggy deserved mom?

shakahislop - almost. i'd have siggy runner up to ward

Vuko made me nervous

Bertos, did everything right but the final ball into the box. Hearfield much the same apart from playing the dude onside.

Lochy had some very smooth moments. Brown seemed more involved with having Ward to link up with and Manny the fighter Muscat powning anything and everything.

WTF was up with Vukovich? Eish that guy really was Crowther in disguise!

Really? Paston makes me more nervous. When Vuk decides on charging/staying in he makes his mind up and doesn't hesitate. Paston seems he can never make his mind up sometimes.
Also Vukovic caught a ball instead of punching!

I thought he was decent as well, still made some faults, but he looked good.

Vukovic = 3 (had 4 things to do, did three of them wrong)

Sigmund and Vukovic didnt seem to be on the same page, given time im sure they will get more understanding

unfortunately, if you make a stupid decision desively it is still a stupid decision

Hopefully Vukovich''s performance will show our anti-Paston brigade that maybe he's not that bad after all.

Had Bertos as a 6, but took a point off for his hair

I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks Bertos is over-rated. I get frustrated every time I watch him and I'm starting to get more and more pissed off each time I see him play. Great go forward, but nothing at the end of it. 

Have to agree, in the first half Hearfield and Bertos had many chances to get crosses in but failed to deliver or hit it straight into defenders.

Liked midfield with Muscat and Ward. Ifill improved on last couple of efforts but still a bit to go.

Well i'd put muscat at a 7.5/8, up there with ward and sigmund mjp22010-09-12 00:34:36

That Antonis kid looked promising.

Leo was fine for me, did good work.

Vukovic was caught in 2 minds about 4 or 5 times that game..

Never seen Paston like that except maybe in the first World Cup game.

Vukovic has a history of running out and not getting the ball - he did it several times at CCM.valeo2010-09-12 00:45:27

really? i thought Vuko was indecisive
made me really nervous, feel lots safer with paston in goal

you watch the replay and see how wasteful and inaccurate he was. awful. i have been a fan of trying to get most out of Hearfield speed as a RB, but last night he put in one of the most unintelligent, technically woeful performances i have seen from a phoenix player.
