Very similar to the Fox Sport post-game 'analysis', when even the most lukewarm praise of Fenton and the Phoenix had to be wrenched out of Ange Postecoglou and Mark Rudan.
Passes complete: Phoenix 202 / Sydney 393; accuracy: Phoenix 75% / Sydney 83%
seriously, sydney completed more passes than us and had more tackles?
Just on the passes it wouldn't surprise me, and especially after watching the replay, when Sydney did have the ball they passed a lot between their defenders & deep midfield, they just didn't go forward with the ball. I am not sure that it would've been double our passes as shown above, but I would've said they made more passes.
