The downside is of course that we are giving away the odd chance here and there. Can’t reminder the last time we went down and still won. one moment while watching it he was chatting to o'neil and it looked like he was actually listing instead of paddys non stop yelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofhearts Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 What a shame with all the apl bullshit how it's overshadowed how dominant and fun this team is to watch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just spent 5 minutes saying how hard done by the nix were considering they dominated the game and that Zawada could have had a hattrick. I must have watched a different game Nah I watched the same game. Wellington pinned us back in that second half, created heaps and were unfortunate not to score. It was pretty hectic at times. But they didn't score hence we won! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were also unfortunate not to have scored an extra 1, 2 or even three goals.... I think the result was fair and overall was a good game with good attacking from both teams.

belaguttman Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 That was a good game to win. Positives: Our first game in Wellington since 2019. Our first win there since 2017 I think. We won in red and white A positive first half where we controlled the midfield Positive subs in the second half when we didn't. Negatives: We didn't control the game, particularly not in the second half Hopefully, a precaution to rest Curtis Good Still no Florin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr MO Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 In that 91st minute scramble with a good stop from Glover, O’Neill was crucial whilst laying on the floor pinching the ball of that Wellington striker who pretty much had an open goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofhearts Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Serious question- Is this the best ever melbourne heart/city team assembled? I may be going the early crow but I don't think in all the years of watching this club I've seen us have quality in every position on the pitch. Onto the match, I thought we did well (considering we've hardly won playing welly in welly)until towards the end of the second half, where we got our usual closing game jitters. Glover easy gets MOM for saving us during that period, he pulled off some amazing saves to keep us ahead, and deserves the match ball.It's been great to see him come back into form as towards the end of last year, his career looked dead and burried. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes in my opinion absolutely, never seen depth, squad complete and competitiveness like this. I asked you guys this in the squad thread as I find this the case.

Yep, and convincingly. The fact that we can have a full strength starting XI with Nabbout, Nuno Reis and Jamieson resigned to the bench (with Berenguer to come back in as well) is crazy good. I think the only "deficiency" is RB where Talbot is a clear downgrade from Atkinson but equally, he's been consistent and has strong competition/cover in Galloway. Can't wait to earn our home grand final. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moops Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 What a great game! The Nix were pretty good and so it was very entertaining to watch, some quality goals on display, enjoyable. Great to get a win when you play away to a team that takes it to you, really good stuff from the lads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
