Lochhead, Ifill, Durante were standouts for me. Durante has come on in leaps and bounds since the first game against Newcastle. Best defender in the league next to Colosimo for mine right now.
Special mention to Greenacre and Daniel who ran their asses off (especially Greenie) and scored deserved goals
No one really had a bad game, though, obviously. The suprising thing was that Leo was pretty much anonymous and we scored 6 when usually he is the one who creates everything..

Agree with Ifill, Lochhead and Durante. i thought Daniel was outstanding as well and Cacares when he came on was great.

Subs can have 9's or 10's!
I was very very very impressed with Siggy though, especially in the first half.
But all were great.
Paston hardly had to work at all

Just need to say, Chris Greenacre was freaking AWESOME today, up front with someone to play off he is a much more impressive player and gets to play his game instead of the lone centre forward which doesn't suit him, even in injury time he was closing down and harrasing the opposition defenders, fantastic!!!

Without wanting to sound like a spoil sport I don't think our overall team performance was significantly better than many of the 6 previous draws. It has to be admitted that GCU were shockingly bad. Their midfield was nonexistent, their defence was an absolute joke and most of the team looked disinterested from the word go.
Having said that, we were consistently good all across the park.

I would say Paston, a 10/10 for keeping a clean sheet 
I would rate Ifill, Greenacre, and Daniel all 11/10. I would give everyone else a 10/10... Disco Troy for scoring, Caceres for some outstanding work up front, Chen when he came on worked hard to get chances.
A few players a bit unlucky not to score I thought.
Don't forget Lia and Brown who worked hard in midfield today also.

Only player that didn't really perform was Chen, but the dude is f**king hilarious so he can have a 10 anyway.

Yeah. every one (besides Chen, who was average) was awesome.
I remember a post form about 3 months ago, when i said, I cant wait till we beat GCU 4-0 at home. HAHA And i was taking the piss so bad.

ok for me
Paston 8.5 Had no work to do at all. And didnt look at all troubled when he had the chance
Manny 9. Seriously looked great for me. Getting forward a lot these days and never got beaten
Sigmund 8.5 Solid as usual made some great tackles, unlucky with Woodwork
Durante 10 Never troubled, didnt give the ball away, amazing defense and a good run too
Lochhead 9 Super Composed for his 50th, great through balls and even a couple of shots
Bertos 6 Worked well on the ball but nothing outstanding
Lia 8.5 Another great game anchoring our Midfield. Composed and reliable
Brown 9.5 Great goal, great run, great defense. All over the park tonight
Daniel 9.5 Great double. A menace down the flanks and vision was pretty spot on
Ifill 10 3 assists and a goal. Great technical skill and amazing vision. Best A-League player
Greenacre 9 Popped up where he needed to be and layed off balls well and took a good goal
Hearfield 8.5 Great down the wing and played better than Bertos. Good goal.
Caceres 8 Great technical skill beating players and setting up good chances
Chen 6 Unlucky to not get some calls go his way. Has pace and tested the defense

Yeah agree iwth all those Bar Chen.
Watching the replay he got burnt by the Defense a few times. And just looked lazy when a call didn't go his way. BUT leave this to another day. tonght is for celebration.What a win.

Put Bertos up to a 7 and that's spot on I think. I'd also give Scott Higgins a 10.Paston 8.5 Had no work to do at all. And didnt look at all troubled when he had the chance

Is it my imagination or in the last few weeks has Ricki become more animated on the side lines? Today was the first time I've seen him give a Burst as animated as todays. It's good to see him get stuck in and show some form. The players did the same today as well.

locheads best game of season. nearly everyone on fire. great to see ifill creating so many chances. Brown great composure on the goal that set us on our way. greeny some good runs and great passes, daniel so hungry now. Only change for next week, costa on bench replacing chen
rojas, so special

Agree on the ratings. Chen tried hard and was busy but I don't think he added anything that Costa could not have. So Costa on the bench next week.
Greenacre, Costa and Chen are all similar styles of striker.....small, busy. Greenie does the job best. Still think it would be good to have a taller guy on the bench.....still when you win 6-0 who gives a rats!!!!!

I'm disapointed Herbert didn't sub Paston off for a forward. Paston off for Caceres would have made a lot of sense.
