Go to perhaps the toughest away ground to play at, score three goals and still get done? It's been clear for the whole season that it is our defence that is the issue, plus our failed foreign marquee. Hughes is a complete flop - the guy has pretensions of playing in the Euros but can't get on the field for us - complete waste of a visa place IMO. I would guess that Paddy is out for up to six weeks, and an achilles possibly signals the end of his career. We have relied far too much on ageing players. With ten matches to play we're not out of contention for anything, but I would say tonight will have firmed up CFG's view that JvS is not the coach who can take us to silverware and Asia.

I still believe we can get into Asia it was clear tonight we are the second best team in the league at the moment but I agree need a quality cbn, and franijc and zullo need to pick up their game.

Positives:

Despite playing the wrong formation and persisting with it for 94 minutes we were mostly competitive and didn't stop until the last minute. A most un-Heart like game.

Didn't really miss Kisnorbo in defence, the issue was disorganisation and defending too narrow - a 'feature' of 3-5-2

Created few chances after the first 15 minutes but took them

Hopefully its clear to CFG that we can't win without any defensive organisation

Negatives:

2 offside goals to WSW

Bridge should have been red-carded in the first half

No tactical flexibility and no defensive organisation.

We got back into the game because of individual brilliance rather than team play

Unless we finish top (and that's unlikely) we'll get an away final against WSW

Had to listen to SBS commentary - more one sided than the Phoenix fanboys.

thought The Gooch showed a lot of terrier about him when he came on.

Eric's pass completion rate?  Malik's?

JVS- it was clear 3 at the back would not work early on.
