Wellington Phoenix 1-2 Adelaide United

Game over!

United take the points.
6 away wins.

[otto62]

We are top of the league!!!!!!
A club record 6 away wins in a row.

Never looked like losing.
Only risk was a draw from a Wellington set piece.
Even Wellington’s occasional quick counterattack we had completely under control.

[Old Gregg]

Two MASSIVE home games coming up against Victory and Auckland ... We're the real deal, we just need to maintain the belief (especially at home)

[sevengoals]

Looking through these highlights I see quite a few chances for AU and what looks like a foul on Kikianis by the Nix scorer as he prepared to jump for the ball.
You see it best at 1:46 of the video.

Funny sort of game. We looked the better side, and eventually won, however it felt as if both sides were playing at 75% of their potential.

We missed Kitto more than I expected. Maybe he’s actually quite good and deservedly captain.
Can’t blame Javi, he did a decent job filling in, but he (quite reasonably) looked rusty and not match fit.

Now time to fix the home game hoodoo...

90 minutes from him was a big ask.

Yes, his energy and work off the ball (particularly in pressing high when the opposition tries to play out) is a big part of our game.

I love Javi, but he doesn't have the engine to play that role.

Not too many 39 year olds would, to be fair.
