agreed. Thought he should have been dropped for this leg after Melbourne but he proved me wrong

We’re so crap at corners. We won 11-3 on corners, but their winner came from one. 

We had very few decent shots on goal, too. I can only think of two worth bothering about, both from Zawada and one was the last corner we had.

It is fair to say that the Victory are an excellent defensive team. And we were good, but not our best. 
Kraev was off the pace and Old wasn’t poor, but not his best either. And we didn’t attack well in transition as well as being denied some of it by persistent fouling. 
What? I thought Old was excellent, certainly far, far better than last week. Easily our most dangerous player and had them in panic mode quite a few times.
 

Old was good and yes, quite possibly our best and maybe the best creative player on the park, but can and has been better. We didn’t score through two regular halves with him at the heart of our attack. He had a lot of chances to create opportunities, and while the Victory did defend well, he couldn’t find the critical moment.  I almost wonder if he should have been held in reserve too…

Edit- geez I’m forgetting Kosta’s ‘pen’ aren’t I. That was Oldy magic that should’ve been rewarded…and he did the his best for Kraev not to be able to put it away. STILL I think he’s a better player even than we saw tonight, where he did admittedly play very well.
