Western Sydney Wanderers vs Western United 05/02/2022 5:05PM

Half time 0-1. Under Carl we'd be down 3.

[sonar]

We're not terrible but we're not great either. I doubt we'll win this tbh. Too many defensive errors. 

[mack]

That was a rough first 45. Considering the position of the opposition it's not terrible but a lot of unforced errors.

Is it just me....... or is Hemed a bit of a disappointment. I expect a bit more from him. 

Na mate not just you, he has been a 100% disappointment but hardly surprising, think of some of the flops we have had playing striker and even a waste of space like him doesnt rate in the top 5.

I'd take Ogawa off at HT. He's not contributing 

Really! To be replaced by ............

I think that might happen, Petratos was being very intensely talked to by GVE.

Might as well put on a training cone.

Someone who will.

He's not physical enough for their defence

Ibini's being saved for the last 20.

Pulling at the game update: I have just spotted a really beautiful blonde girl in the crowd. Her hair is gold like the sun. Skin is pale like the white shorts we should be wearing and her smile radiates warmth like the eastern grandstand at CCM away games (5.05 kickoffs)

My heart is sold and hers if she will take it, unlike the chances Hemed has squandered this half

I will gift myself to her - like the gift of a goal we gave WU in that half

Who's gonna save us from his last 20.

100% agree.  Just giving away possession in dumb areas due to their press.  Katroumbis has been good for us this year but thats a half he will want to forget and the defence from Aquilina for the first was awful, kept him onside initially and also got caught on the the wrong side. Ogawa, Hemed also very disappointing.  As you say it wasn't as bad as we have been but still not good.  Having said that we put one away or at least stay in it for as long as possible and they will tire in the last 20min as they usually do after paying that press and we can nab something.  As an aside Aloisi is a knob. 

[Natethan]

Ogawa is seriously Jumpei V2. Very underwhelming. Take him and Aqualina off. Russel for Aqualina and Petratos for Ogawa.

Look, at least we have some coherency in how we are moving the ball. We are back to the Wanderers special of stupid errors!

Do you have a refund policy.

[WSWJACK]

Well we see what effect Rudan’s half time pep talk and changes will have in the next 20 minutes , time to earn your corn matey

Yeah that’s how I got single in the first instance  

[VedranRozic]

Petratos on. Great, down to 10 men.

[beatsurrender]

At least MR is making some changes. Not sitting on his hands like CR. 

[mack]

Tass for Koutroumbis and Hemed for Dimi. Sounds like that might be preplanned due to workload?

I feel like you've gone fly fishing on a trawler. Girls don't go to football games to be "pulled" - they go with their boyfriends and family.

[scarcev]

Well tbf both of our half time subs were probably both our worst performing players (a fraction in front of Ogawa) so least it shows intent, work or don't play.

[mack]

We are getting absolutely nothing from these refs.

replacing Hamed who did nothing so we had 10 anyway

[mack]

Not entirely sure what Rodwell was thinking there, must have assumed Young was gonna try a cruff turn or some nonsense. YC.
