I am interested to see how we go from here. This was an improved performance but I feel that the way each team lined up meant we could mark man to man and just press Perth hard, Singh dropping when we had possession helped us a bit with the ball. Other setups have meant miss matches in various areas which we have had difficulty with. Our balls out of defence were better with Kopa alongside Dura and Taylor, that certainly helped. Kopa did well.
We panicked in that last 15 minutes, we don't seem at all confident trying to hold possession which is the main worry cause Perth weren't that positive but others will be.
I'm not convinced that man-marking Castro was a great idea when it weakened the centre of the park. We still massively lacking in centre midfield.
Personally I thought it was a great move by Rudan
A few minutes before that Perth very nearly scored because Castro was left COMPLETELY free in our half, so I was 100% for a change being made to stop that. Would have loved to see how the tactic would have panned out if it wasn't for VARgate. For the short time between the sub & the red it seemed to be working ok, though not a long sample size.
