Ugh, we go down one again. Plenty of time to equalise
A minute ago, they should have been taking it to the goal but were a little bit too timid and have paid the price.
Conceding from a set piece is a coach killer at this stage of the game

Mariners would still have finished ahead on the tiebreaker if Rufer Had buried the penalty against the jets, but who knows how the season changes.
I don't think there's anyone on the team that I'd be really confident lining up a penalty. More generally, I think our dead ball work is the area that we need to improve - I think 1 goal from a corner (and even that was second ball recycled on the edge of the area and a cracking shot) and 1 goal from a free kick (that one was a good one!).

Ecstasy and then agony. Poor defending from that corner. The Phoenix were unlucky with the Old shot hitting the post but these games are all about small margins.
Let's go CCM.
Kraev's header wide of goal hurt too, he should have at least got that on target

I was at the game, and the moment that goal went in was the biggest release of emotion by a crowd I've ever experienced. Just a sensational feeling to be in amongst it. I wasn't at the last sold out playoff back in the Herbert era, but I've been to other playoffs and other big crowds (both Phoenix and other sports, caketin and other stadiums). Even though we lost, still makes me smile just thinking about it.

I was there, and at that end of the stadium, for Rory Fallon's goal against Bahrain, so I know the feeling.

The biggest disappointment was Tim Payne for me. Learn how to cross a ball bud.

Right hand side attack was ineffectual

Wellington Phoenix keeper Alex Paulsen is on the verge of a career-defining move to the English Premier League in a deal worth more than $4 million.
The 21-year-old shot stopper was reportedly a target for Chelsea and Liverpool but could be heading to Bournemouth, according to the UK’s Sky Sports.
Bournemouth’s bid was reportedly worth £850,000 (NZ$1.77m) and could rise to £2 million (NZ$4.2m) with bonuses. It’s the sort of deal neither the Phoenix nor Paulsen can turn down.There are a couple of humorous comments about Bournemouth loaning Paulsen back to Auckland FC. They have just signed Woud so I doubt it. A great move for Paulsen if it goes through, and some money for the Phoenix.
