Mitch was outstanding. Let us not it was his new energy that made the difference when Miller was barely about to walk.<BR/><BR/>McKay set up a goal, so surely he can be forgiven a lot.<BR/><BR/>Zullo was the victim of poor refing. Perth's strategy was to smash him in every tackle - and they were allowed to. We were shouting at him to run at the defenders - particularly when they were on cards. However, he has such a high percentage passing game - if he gets 15 in the box then expect 1-2 goals from there and there abouts.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598217628490483035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36679125.post-17477653542205108042009-01-25T10:16:00.000+10:002009-01-25T10:16:00.000+10:00Great game.

While we're being dreamy though, can the Roar get a clean sweep of Champion trophies - W-, Y- and A-League?<BR/><BR/>One more note. I reckon Matty lost his cap for the Socceroos last night. Full of energy as usual but he had that panicky try-hard feel about him that he gets sometimes and so many of his on-field passes were terrible. He constantly lost possession in the middle. A great shame. Unfortunately I reckon he demonstrated to Pim that he's not great under pressure.<BR/><BR/>Not so sure about Zullo, who was also obviously giving his all with something to prove. Dunno if he convinced or not.<BR/><BR/>And Moore was forward so often and frankly is not quick getting back. Bloody hot night as you say, but he's getting to the point where forward forays (which he does with great confidence) should be avoided so he can keep his central area at the back.<BR/><BR/>Quite aside from Moore, who's obviously a special case with his experience etc, what do you think of the performances of our prospective Socceroos?Hamish Alcornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697731397475746830noreply@blogger.com
