Watson blotted his copy book there with the two offsides, but good run and good ball to set Parkhouse away on the left. Could be a useful player. Needs to start delivering. Parkhouse lively but could have delivered better.
Very, very reassured about Darije. His tactical switch worked. He doesn't seem panicked and he seems to have cover and depth in the squad for the style he wants to play. Hope we start getting results soon.
I agree on Darije's tactical switch being a sign of a good coach with a Plan B. Our left flank looked better in the second half. Parkhouse seemed to thrive in that new formation. On the other hand, I thought that Krishna was unable to get much penetration on the right wing and his frustration was clearly visible.
Sydney played well - as expected - and we could have been four down at halftime except for a couple of misses. Hence I see second half as a draw (regardless of the Abbas offside that was/wasn't real). Melbourne City will be just as tough next weekend.
