seriously doubt McDonald's abilities have held up to the point where he'll be effective in the A-League. Kone and Diamanti is an absolutely quality duo however

Watched him a few times for Dundee United last year and he wasn't that good, but is the sort of guy that will take chances if they arise.

Going to need the crowd as a 12th man today. WU have an impressive lineup.

I would have worried about McDonald 2 years ago, not now!

Looks like the coverage has stepped up a notch... on field chats to players as they warm up etc.

Way to jinx it fellas

McDonald is one of the best club-level Australian finishers of all time

Theyre passing through Rufer and Steinmann too easy - in this formation, we need to be forcing them wide

DeVere and Taylor gotta be quicker - there's a lot of space behidn their full backs but we aren't taking advantage because DeVere is taking an extra touch every time

Bit worried so far-  theyre cutting through the middle so easily, which in theory should be our strength defensively with 2 DM and deep CB

much better play there.  team needs to move the ball quicker fwd.  playing around too much with it in defence.  Attack the left side.  Pain will be the weaker of their full backs

Davila had to do better on the edge of the box there - good position and just loses it for no reason

McCowatt doing some nice stuff, working hard, even if his first touch is sometimes a bit wooden. Good signs for the future.

DeVere's passing has been comical at times - fell over in the box 3 times too. Will be ousted by the end of the season by McGing.

Allowing far too much space and time to this experienced WU attack. May come back to bite us.

We need to win second balls in midfield. Liking Ball and McCowatt so far though

I'll say it - Davila has been kak so far. Can't defend. Can't pass. Has a bad touch. Gets muscled off the ball.
