  • 4-1 Win For 10 Man Wanderers


    mack

    The Western Sydney Wanderers halted a streak of 6 games without a victory by punishing the Central Coast Mariners 4 goals to 1.

     

    Blake Powell, who cannot stop scoring against the Wanderers no matter who he is playing for, opening the scoring for the home side in the 5th minute. Storm Roux broke down the right flank using his electric pace, and his cross back into the centre found Powell. His first time strike took a deflection off Scott Neville to beat Jerrad Tyson.

     

    The Wanderers were back level instantly. Jumpei Kusukami cutting inside onto his right foot and yet again the deflection did the work for the striker as the ball looped over Paul Izzo and into the side netting at the back post.

     

    On the half hour mark Nico Martinez put the Wanderers in the lead. Mitch Nichols delivered a pinpoint cross over the penalty spot, and the Red & Black marquee Nico Martinez flew through the air like a dart to throw himself at the ball, his header whistling past Izzo for a 2-1 lead.

     

    It was 3-1 five minutes after the break, Scott Neville steaming along the byline, his cross hammered into the legs of Jake McGing and beat Izzo all ends up.

     

    Western Sydney were reduced to 10 men with a contentious call from Kris Griffiths-Jones. Trent Buhagiar ran in on goal but his attempted chip hit Tyson, who then clattered into the striker. Despite the ball flying away, the referee deemed it a foul from Tyson, then sent off the keeper for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity.

     

    Mariners coach Paul Okon made a raft of changes designed to increase the firepower, but all it seemed to accomplish was giving the 10 men of the Wanderers more time and space in the midfield & final third, super sub Brendon Santalab added to his legacy by finishing the game off as a contest in the 87th minute, taking one touch to put the ball at his feet then powering the second into goal.

     

    The Western Sydney Wanderers face Melbourne Victory next week at ANZ Stadium, on Saturday the 10th of December at 7:50PM.

    Nico I awesome, and his reaction to the 4th goal from the bench said a lot. He is into it. The goals Shinji scored against Tards and Brisbane were special, only top players get those.

    Imagine we were scheduled the late game: "FFA don't want us to travel, we'll get home too late, think of the children!"

     

    The ability of people on this forum to be able to whinge about scheduling, no matter what time or day a match is scheduled, is truly heroic.

    Bossi, match review, mentions mariners possibly should have had a penalty for an Aspro handball (anyone remember that one?) but doesn't mention the one we should have had. 

     

    There was a half-hearted appeal by the Mariners in the first half before the Scott non-pen. The commentators mentioned it briefly but it didn't even warrant a replay. You'd have to assume the director checked the footage to see if there was anything in it and there was nothing to see.

     

     

    The commentators during the game wrote it off immediately by saying that none of the CCM players really protested about it. It frustrates me when the "analysts" bring up non-issues like this. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

     

    Typical bias from ****stain Bossi, someone pass him a tissue to wipe away the tears of watching his beloved smurfetts blow another cup final.

    Great trip as usual, but man, cant they give us a 7.30 kick off the heat there is incredible.

     

    I thought Jumpei was great today, not the goal but the way he chased and won and held onto the ball. I think the goal last week was good for him. Mitch was looking knackered at the end, that's a big shift to put in in that heat, ill forgive him the miss :good:

     

    A confidence booster ahead of next week but the sauce bottes aint the vics, Will be interesting. Hopefully Redmayne will have a mom performance al la Theo

    He's more likely to have a performance like my Mom.

     

     

    i hope so too - if you know what i mean

    Great win, good game and great atmosphere (bloody good lunch at the Patonga Beach Hotel too!!). However, many people (media included) are perhaps going overboard about the performance of our midfield. With Tavares and Montgomery missing, we were effectively playing against Mariners Youth team in midfield. Next week will be a different proposition against the Victory gang.

    This. Great win, though I'm still not convinced. Give it a few more games and we'll see where we're at.

    Noticed that when I watched the replay last night. Great to see a guy on loan show some passion for the jersey

    Getting game time and a rotating front third is agreeing with him.

    Plus he is getting paid, at least our share, will be giving him a lift too.

    Yeah not sure how good the win was, despite the score. Great fun, but we gave them plenty of chances too.

     

    I know people have been critical of our CBs, but I'm worried about our fullbacks. Sometimes I think it's the style of coaching and sometime just bad decision making/match awareness, but they get caught out a bit too much for me. Too often teams get in behind them and that puts our CBs and the opposite fullback under pressure. They're also pretty wasteful going forward. Well, Neville is anyway. Not sure how worth the risk is it to have him getting forward if he can't produce a good end ball!

    I reckon our fullbacks are one of our biggest weapons. Neville and Clisby are on fire at the moment. It's when they bomb on down the line and we play with width that we are most dangerous. I'd say it seems like they get caught out because the centre of our defence is so slow.

    We scored our 3rd goal from a Neville cross

     

    Neville has improved his deliveries significantly - I used to be a critic, but I think he's putting in the work, so good on him.

    Does anyone have a screen shot or decent photo of the banner held up by the RBB during the minutes silence?

    We scored our 3rd goal from a Neville cross

    Yes cross for McGing to score.

    Then also for the 4th goal. Cross hit a defender for Santalab to trP and score

    Why are there only 3 pages to our best win so far this season?

     

    Because Riva is missing so we don't have 10 pages of replies to his comments.

     

    I agree with the comments regarding how well our fullbacks are doing. Clisby in particular is always moving up forward and getting into space, very good to see. Look forward to him scoring his first goal for us, if he keeps this up it's bound to happen sooner or later.

    Defense still very shaky.

    If we played a better team it would have been a closer game.

    Still feels good to thump ccm.

     

    I am not sure if this has been brought up. Trent Buhagiar.

    He is unbelievably quick and dangerous.

    Got beaten on the wings a number of times and luckily CCM couldn't finish or shoot on target (hit the post though).

    Too many times we were beaten and the cutback was on and a CCM attacker was unmarked in the box. Another team would have punished us.

     

    Tyson made a bad decision. Our defenders were there.

    At least when Redmayne flies out of the box he gets to the ball first and then gets kicked in the head to win the foul.

    Tyson has a lot to learn ;)

    That Tyson send off is so hard to judge if he stays in his box whose to say Aspro was quick enough to recover look like he was well beaten and then following on from that if Tyson would have won the one v one situation that would have come.

     

    It was was the one ball all second half Central Coast played that was dangerous and Tyson was sweeping he gets there first and the foul is for us, unfortunately he copped it but he did so knowing there was a threat and it came from the team dropping off instead of pushing pressuring Mariners when they were down. In the end comfortable win and a little luck finally fell our way but can't help and think what if the Mariners score any of their chances at the end of the first half  or Tyson doesn't go for that through ball.

     

    Jumpei and Nico goals so awesome more of that please. Victory next hopefully we have momentum and really hoping for 20,000 plus crowd at ANZ (I'm optimistic)

    Buhargiar is reported as doing the 100m in 10.8 second, but Tyson didn't realise he was that quick.

    In any case, I don't think it was a send off and am hoping the Match Review Panel overturns the red card.

    This will only happen if he played for City, we are no chance.
