Popovic was getting dizzy trying to keep up with Burns and Djite --- who had a deadset goal denied by the flukiest of clearances by Corica (not that I'm complaining). Juninho hit the crossbar and made Bajic stretch to the absolute limit before setting up Brosque, who was also frustating. We were better in the second half with Da Silva, who looks the goods, and Zadkovich was looking pretty neat as a sweeper, until he fluffed a clearance and set up a farcical display of backline incomptence which ended in unmarked Boo-urns slipping in, right after we'd gone ahead. Middleby was awesome, and Bolton had a shocker, he's lucky Necevski did his ankles in. In other news Perth and Victory played a scoreless draw that was apparently a more entertaining than Glory's other scoreless draw. Crowd was 31k odd, puts us and the Coasties' feeble efforts to shame. Fire up NSW! The outcome of Sunday's match is now completely open, as Roar have lost Ogenovski and Milicic to injuries -- can Farina's youth squad cover for them? Who knows, but Newwie are still blah, imo and I'm still giving it to Oranje. Bah, another frustrating game.

You have to worry about Melbourne, CCM were on autopilot. The strikers fired, 3-0. You have to worry about Melbourne, CCM were on autopilot.
