I've watched them all so far. First half against Brisbane we dominated the play but apart from the goal didn't look too much like scoring. Second half we were very under the pump. They deserved the point they got. Against Western United we were once again dominant in the first half, but it looked more even in the second. That said, while Diamanti looked like he could open us up at any moment we again didn't seem to have much cohesion going forward. Agree with the above re Wellington game. We were dominant in the first half bar the first five minutes. Should have been further in front. Second half we opened up a bit but were probably still the better side until the last ten minutes or so. Even then didn't really look like conceding until the dumb penalty.I didn’t watch (actually haven’t watched all season as am on holiday) but from reports, we have been outplayed by most sides
So my hope is that the second half fades are more a fitness issue and that is why they are becoming less dramatic. This week it looked a lot more cohesive from Ikon, Castro and Fornaroli so long may that continue. Franjic back made a difference as well, it seemed to allow Kim more freedom and he played his best game for us though I still imagine he will drop out when Meredith is back. All in all so far there are positive signs but I have always been an optimist.
