Don't think anyone should be disappointed with this result, really. The only thing I'm a little annoyed about was the Leo sub - unfortunately due to lack of match time Leo looked rusty as hell and really derailed any shape we had.
We wilted in the humidity, in the end. Still, we only lost to a pretty flukey outside-the-box shot to a young precocious Brisbane player (I feel like this happens every Brisbane away game?)
Still a lot of positives to take out of the game. Commentators kept going on about who Brisbane were missing, but us missing Carlos and Kenny had a big impact too. If we had Kenny to come off the bench instead of Leo I think we would've looked a lot more solid in that 2nd half.
Disagree we were truly outplayed Junior.
Fair enough. We weren't outclassed but in terms of the play, from about the last 5-10 mins of the first half onwards, did you think we could win the game?
When they equalised, did you think we could hold on for a draw?
When they went ahead did you think we could claw one back?
I think we were outplayed.
No shame in that - difficult conditions against the top team.
Completely disagree with this. The fact we had tonnes of chances in that first half - and could've gone in 2 or 3-0 up, easily - meant that I was always hopeful that we'd pull it back. Fact is, like I said, Brisbane had to rely on 2 wonder-strikes to win them the game. On another day those wouldn't of flown in.
