R14 vs Melbourne Victory | Sun 20 Jan | 7pm | SS3

lol..what a muck up

Lovely ball Kopa, good tackle deng

Bit more nix fire now,

Oh so close

Agonisingly close. Be gutted if we don't win this.

had to be fudgeing Kosta didnt it, can only assue we were hanging back to conserve energy.

fudge this

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

it was coming

but still

fudge

Hate this cod commentator.

Just fudgeing typical. We should be winning this 6-4

do well to hang on now.

Gaffer not happy with the team.

Ah pants 

Big mistake for me is the last 10 or so we've just left them completely open on their left in attack.

We lost go forward when Williams left..he had pace that Krishna seems to have lost in second half.  Singh lost in space.

If we could just finish our fudgeing chances maybge we'd still be winning

Yeah it was Sheridan the only man chasing out wide. Saw that and thought we are in trouble here.

"WE LOVE THIS. WE'RE ALL STANDING ON THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS"

very hard second half to watch

to be fair most of us would have been happy to take the draw tonight. and you know Rudan wont be happy with how we've played second half

Not there yet!

Feels like a loss now. Hope it doesn't actually become one

True, but we have actually taken the game to them and looked very good for parts. Kosta sadly, is having a frigging blinder for them.

Kosta and Troisi have been the biggest dangers and we've not been able to shut them down well enough.

I agree but I'll happily take the point.

We've deserved that this half. Not good enough to be honest. 

Completely dropped off and just given them time and space, I get it's pretty tough to keep pressing for 90 minutes in the Aussie heat, but we've missed a beat here. We could have dicked these pricks over in their own backyard, but now we're hanging on for dear life. Sitting deep and off the man has and will not work for us, just don't have the composure.

We should be proud of this team. Just went toe-to-toe with one of the best sides in the league in their back yard!

Unbeaten in 9 and Krishna scoring for fun. What's not to like?

And Antonis who we were leaving completely open.

Disappointed but wow what fantastic entertainment.

1 half against mariners and second half this week - very poor

Better than expected despite folding a bit.

more disappointed we couldn't maintain what was one of the best first halves ever seen!

It really does, even though - I'm pleasantly surprised - it wasn't one. As predicted, the T*rds put us under pressure and we partly psychologically collapsed. We're a mediocre team until Rudan can do something with that (can he?)

I think this is the first time I've really been disappointed to draw against victory. Which says a lot about how far we've come. 

But I'm still a little disappointed.

Great game, bit of a shame, perhaps could have won that, we had chances, but the boys gave their all and I'm proud of where we are as a team. 

Created many chances in the second half, a shame we couldn't put one of them away.

Gutted that we couldn't hold out for the last 10 but shark we still put 3 on them. That first half goal had me worried we were in for a thumping. 

Bugger me this is an exciting season. 

The streak continues. 

Second time this season I've been disappointed to draw against Victory for me.

This. Never forget that it is these halves when we see the "old Phoenix" back again - two in games back to back - which show that giving each other handies about Rudan's wonder-working has just set us up for crushing disappointment.

We haven't improved that much. Some - not that much.
