This game has been remarkably devoid of any sort of quality.

He’s got enormous bollocks so I’m not sure how it crept by him…

8,325. Jeez that is not good for a game that should've been hyped up as the return. Makes no sense? Meh, was hoping for at least 12k
Was coming!
Come On The Phoenix!
We’ve been treated to some great striker play today.

Turns out the Kiwis are the best players after all
Chaaaoooooooo
That's the value Lewis gives you! Nice work Kosta and Waineo too.
Thank you for your antijinx services
Oh yeah, now hold the lead.
Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
Backs to the wall lads. Let's bring it home! 👏

And that was what Kraev was booked for earlier. Where’s the yellow ?
Been a very impressive half from us. Although maybe been made to look better by an overall lack of Adelaide quality.
The subs were inspired..hang on in
Come on Phoenix!
Where’s that 4 minutes come from?

Great save by Oli’’s balls.
Elliot was too keen to engage. Should have stayed on his post
Oh Crap - totally unmarked
Lets not blow it now boys
Hang on FFS.
Sail should of stopped that one Im afraid.
Heartbreaking...
Jeez..
That's a bloody good point. Well done Nix.
Good to get a point considering we played 65 with 10 men. But still disappointing not to be waking away with all 3 as we came sooo close.
Fair result overall. If Adelaide is deemed to be "devoid of quality" by some, we would have swept them off the park. However, I think they had a much better pressing game overall, ruined by terrible conversion quality in the box (14 corners to Phoenix one). A draw is what it was worth to both parties.
Would've been happy with a draw when we went 10 men down in the first half, but it felt like a sucker punch to finish with a draw
What a game!
I think we know a lot more about our team. The new guys don’t like the wind. We don’t know much about Sasse.
Lewis and Kosta have done very well for the goal and Urgarkovic looks like much more of a threat getting into the box.
Zawada looks decent, but Waine is a cracking strong player now. London buses!
Hard to say how we will play as we looked good on the counter. Kraev was repetitively fouled, tightly marked sometimes with two players, for which the opposition didn’t receive any cards. Sasse probably would have looked quite good playing on the counter too.
Pity we couldn’t put that away. We should have won it. Which is a great way to feel after that early red.

Thought Ugarkovic was really good - tidy in possession.
Take the draw after after being down a man for over an hour.
Oh that equaliser bloody hurt though. Adelaide carrying on from last season with their strong finishes to games.
Excellent to see all the kids down getting signatures at the end there too. That's what it's about, and it looks fantastic on the after match wrap-up. 👏

Is Sasse suspended for three for dangerous play?
Good performance Nix. On to the next one.
What was the crowd figure?
Happy with the draw, we're the happier of the 2 sides given the red card early in the first half. At that point it looked like game over. With Lewis and Rufer coming back we'll only get better

We needed Pennington on the pitch in the last 10 minutes. Not in the dressing room. In the end he's the only player that nick's the ball off of the opponent.
Hugely disappointed. We could have had all 3 points.

Happy with it, they had 19 corners to 1 and dominated the game, even before the red.
The fact we came back into it and actually played the better football 2nd half is basically a miracle.
Credit to the team. If Oli Sail doesn't get hit in the nuts he probably saves that.
My only concern is Sasse. Zawada and Kraev both showed something, and Urgakovic was good 2nd half.
Sasse was all over the shop even before the red card.

Going in to the game I would have taken a draw. There are a lot of positive signs out of todays game, a lot to work on also. I think the red was harsh with how much Sasse pulled out after clearly slipping, VAR should have overturned to a yellow, but thems the breaks. Looked a red in real time for sure. Considering the other games this weekend I think we look a solid top 4 team. Interesting to see how that changes with form and fitness working in during the season. Still, I feel like it was my nuts and not Ollie's that took a hit. Glad to see Waine getting a goal, I really hope he kicks on this season, he has a lot of good attributes and still only 21.

I was thinking 8k isn't too bad considering last year's grand finalists MC and WU only got 7 in their opening game. It's kind of in keeping with the general downward trend in A League crowds.
Another couple of thousand would've been nice though and looks a lot better on the tele.
