Some positives for tonight: - Playing positive football away from home (about the away-est you can get) - Eze scoring! - Decent performance from Nagasawa - Loke A-League debut. - Squad has a bit more depth than last year - bringing on Ishige, LBS, Loke and Piper feels a bit more promising than our bench last season.
What an insane game this has been. But we straight up gifted two goals to this team who look like they will be one of the easier beats and we have probably lost ourselves two points as a result
The time wasting was a bit shark but our players were physically ruined clawing back a point. After the opening set, 2-2 is realistically a fantastic result.
I almost can't connect the first 20mins to the last 70. And I'm not gonna try tonight. Well done lads for the draw and well done all of us for being up to watch it.
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.
Good result. Perth away is always tough - even if this is a weak perth team by their historic standards, nearly 2am finish NZT, etc. Coming back to draw from 2-0 down away from home is not to be sneezed at.
I enjoyed that and think we played really well. Much better than last year. The high line will make for some entertaining games. We executed it better as the game went on, and then it got easier when Kucharski was subbed.
James is awesome. Eze's going to be great. Nagasawa and Rufer first class and Roa Conchie had the best game I've seen him play.
No regrets well became no regrets staying up to watch. I would like to make an apology to the universe for saying I bet Eze would get a yellow. However the time wasting did annoy me. Hoping there will be consistency from the refs about gk time wasting. I got a good impression from Eze, Armiento and James. Bring on next weekend!
yep, i fear what quality sides will do to our kamikaze backline. We also looked incredibly unconvincing in possession for a team with 70 percent possession which is not a good signcoochiee

Absolutely loving the way Eze fights for every ball and has the pace to get on top of them.
Hate his simulation/diving shark though Leave that in Iraq
Crazy game. I’ll leave judgement on the high line shape until Hughes is playing
Only Round 1, but this felt like a game between 2 teams that will finish in the bottom half
