You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Fine
from News Talks.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Ed b So Auckland FC, after their brilliant start to
life as an A league football team, have come crashing
down to earth somewhat, suffering their first ever defeat well.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Batley and Surgate again gets the bounce of the ball, Natuerie.
There's a few green shirts ahead. Is Grimaudy, Matthew.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Grimaudi and is a cherry on top for Western United
and it is applied by Matthew Grimaldy, the twenty one
year old on uring past.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Alex Paulson into the far corner and as a Christmas
cracker for Western United, bleed Auckland FC by four goals
to nil.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, that's how it finished at Mount smart Go Media
Stadium yesterday afternoon Western United for Auckland FC. Quite the schooline.
Former Wellington Phoenix and All Whites goalkeeper and Skysport analyst
Jacob Spoonley is with us.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Jake.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Did you see this coming?
Speaker 5 (01:16):
No should answer, Pony.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
I don't think many people have seen this coming, apart
from John Aloisi.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
He was the.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
Architect of Auckland's first downfall at home yesterday look Weston
was so fast and aggressive, and they started earlier.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
I think it was ninety seconds.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
We saw the first chance flash flail as Paulson's posts
and they went. He hid after twelve and from there
they really got out of site very quickly.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
What led to this schoolne was it? Auckland FC off
a bit. Were Western United just really on a combination
of those things?
Speaker 6 (01:51):
I think that's about right Piney, It was a confluence
of different factors. I do think Steph Criker did not
see his side show up. He mentioned in the post
game that they didn't do the work, they weren't prepared
for the physical battle, and combination with that, I think
we're starting to see this Western United side mature. John Elowisi,
(02:12):
and let's also mention Andrew Durante and Camelo Impimbato. They've
got a very proficient football department in Western they have
been given a mandate to back these young players. We're
seeing the best come out of them now. We saw
Aball Wallaty yesterday. He showed up in the first half.
Reese Posanowski had a great ninety minutes and there was
(02:33):
impact from the bench as well. Matt Grimaldi added the
fourth goal after Noel Bot it's still only twenty two.
They had put the third one in by about thirty
minutes into the game, so I think to your point, yes,
it was an off day for Auckland, and I think
the lesson was sharper and harder because they're still learning
collectively at this point, so when they do come undone,
it does tend to happen quite dramatically. But let's also
(02:56):
give props to Western United, who are now firmly entrenched
in the top six.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Their third goal had a bit of controversy about it.
A pass from one Auckland player to another didn't find
its mark because Jake Brimmer, the intended recipient, came together
with referee Casey Rightbelt. There was a little bit of
chat afterwards about whether play should have been called back.
What did you make of that incident?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Yeah, it's a really good point, Piney, and I think
you can say the cropability was shared for me. Casey
Raibelt found herself in the middle of the traffic and
perhaps didn't manage the moment well enough. So on reflection,
as the players do, I think the referee will get
together and say, hey, what can we do differently?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
There?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Because you don't want to have the referee literally physically
inhibiting play. Pony equally, there wasn't a response from Auckland
f C. They were shocked, this was the third goal
and they were really on their heels. There was no
reaction from the defenders and Western we're able to spring
forward fairly quickly.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
So I think Steve Crick is going to.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Have a couple of stark words for his defenders in
that situation. From a technical point of view, just to
explain it for the audience. Because the ball actually didn't
touch the referee, there was no official ability to stop play,
although I can seem unfair in that situation.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
The rules are very clear if all touches.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
A referee, then it has returned by way of a
drop ball, I think to the team that was in
position at the time, because it was Jake Remmer that
came into contact with Casey ry Belt, there was no
official reason to actually delay things or to bring proceedings
to a halt. So that's just a little bit of
an understanding, and that was explained to me after the
game by the referees.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, I really don't think it would have mattered. And
John Elwisi, the coach of Western United, said as much afterwards.
He said, look, I can understand why they're a bit
annoyed by it, but if we didn't score there, we
were probably going to score another way and by that
stage they were already turn it up and well in
control of the game. How do you assess Auckland FC's
ability to quickly bounce back from this.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Well, we're in that time of the year, there's a
lot of football and I think they'll be looking to
really kind of settle things internally, and then they've obviously
got a game and a couple of day's time at
the back end of Christmas they'll be traveling to Gosford.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
And this is an a Marina's team. That's the side
that we saw last year.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
There's actually some chat around Mark Jackson potentially replacing Patricks
Norba in the Melbourne victory job. But Auckland FC. They've
had a wonderful start. We knew it was going to
come to an end at some point. What we do
know is that Steve Carriker has built this side on resilience.
We've seen that and the way they've looked to defend
games this year. We've also seen it in the way
(05:35):
that they go deep into matches. So I think although
as we said, it was a dramatic dismantling of Auckland
by Western United at home, this is the side that
I reckon as Taylor made to bounce back really quickly.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
In terms of the players they're missing through injury. We
saw Louis via Strata come back yesterday, which was a
boost of the team, although he I'm sure would have
enjoyed it or not enjoyed his time had there would
have preferred a much much happier time of things. But
Dan Hall at center back has been very good for
this team in the first half a dozen games. He's
out for two or three months. How big a blow
(06:11):
is that?
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Honestly, Piney, I thought it wasn't going to be as
impactful and influential as it was. It turns out as
a player that perhaps we haven't been valuing because Lauklan
did look a bit rattled.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yes, you can say Western took the game to them.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
But they were able to move the very experienced Hirocki Sakai,
their captain, into the center bat role. They talked about
deploying him there if they needed to throughout the course
of the season Callan Elliott the.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
All White came in and sold it at right back,
so you've.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Still got a very experienced side there. That said, though,
there were a couple of changes further up the field,
and I think the calibration was slightly up. The combinations
that we've seen developed very quickly were a bit unsettled,
so len Gillian was moved do on the right hand
side and maybe that was a combination that wasn't quite
(07:01):
sealed and perhaps too much in experience because Wilson did
attack primarily down the left hand side. I think it
was something like sixty five percent of their attacks came
down the left in the first half, finding wonderful work
from Usky's fourteen and we did see changes down the
right at halftime, so the message was pretty clear.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
The dissection that occurred.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Indicated that it wasn't an individual issue, although Dan Hall's
absence was very notable, it was more a collective piece.
They clearly wasn't happy with the way in which Auckland
were not only looking after the ball, but once Western
were springing forward, the way in which they were defending.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
So that's Auckland FC. They lick their wounds and get ready,
as you say, for a trip to Gosford next weekend.
Wellington Phoenix meantime looking to do some bouncing back of
their own. They were beaten to one at home by
MacArthur last weekend Western Sydney Wanderers tonight over in Western
Sydney at CommBank. What about their chances? How the US
(07:58):
is Wellington's chances of bouncing back from defeat at home?
Speaker 6 (08:03):
We had, say, going to Western Sydney against a Wanderers
side that contains BRILLIANTE Milanovitch, Krayev, Barrello and one him
matter would be a very daunting prospect. But we just
haven't seen what we thought we were going to get
from Allen Stadgett's team. I haven't done what it said
(08:23):
it's going to do on the ten pointing. There's been
a lot of criticism coming statutes of wait, he hasn't
really started on one matter anywhere near as much as
we were hoping to see the standard the World.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Cup winner in the A League.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
And then you look at what Gean Carlo Ataliano is
starting to able, his start to be able to create in.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
The Costco combination.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Mate Mark a Rojasen costa barbarusis they've only played for
around about one hundred and ten minutes pinting and already
they've come.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Up with two goals.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
That said, he hasn't been happy with his defensive efforts,
so that's going to need to tighten up this weekend.
And look, it's a very high bar. Wellington, by Mike
count had the second best defensive record in the competition.
There are only been betted by Melbourne victory and their
level with Auckland f C after yesterday's four nil result.
But they do run things on a very solid base
(09:16):
and there has been criticism and postmatch regularly from Chiefeet
that in the big moments he hasn't seen what he
accepts from his defenders.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Well, we look forward to seeing a bit more from
his defenders and his attackers tonight. Just before you go,
I know you keep an eye on Kiwi footballers all
around the world. Chris Wood has been turning heads and
got a message froim this morning to let me know
and I think I had already picked up on this
that Nottingham Forest Chris woodside are up to third in
the Premier League. The Dizzy Heights of third.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Oh, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
We had Auckland's putting out a beach yesterday. They were
making it was a wonderful occasion at Mount Smart So
I really do recommend you get along there on New
Year's Day when they do play Melvin Victory. We've got
the Wellington Phoenix disappointed at being sits at the moment,
and then we're talking about Champions League football from our
very own Chris Wood, the man that is in I
think he's still third in the Golden Boot race.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
It's incredible.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
You've got a Norwegian, Egyptian and a Kiwi that are
running things in the Premier League at the moment. He
didn't get on the score sheet this morning, but he
had a very big hand and not them for a
soapener and by and large is responsible for them being third.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It is.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
It's dramatic, it's remarkable.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
I mean, dip into your Santa Sack playing and play
any objective you want.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
It's fitting. It's act for Chris Wood at the moment.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, it absolutely is. He's having the time of his
life in the Premier League. Meantime, the A League continues
on the side of the world as always, Jacob, thank
you for your analysis this afternoon. Have a great Christmas
with the family and we'll catch up. I guess next
weekend when the Phoenix are home to Newcastle. The games
don't stop, they come thick and fast. But thanks for
your time this afternoon.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Thank you very much, plenty much to quick shout out
to Blair Dainty, who unfortunately is in hospital at the moment.
He is our wonderful director at Sky's Sports, so we
just hope that he recovers and doubts us back quickly
so we see him in the truck and supporting us.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Very Christmas mate, and to you too, Jake, Yes, and
I share your you know, I share your concern and
your good wishes to blow out one of our wonderful producers.
Directors at Sky could missed yesterday's game, couldn't be there,
but I wonder whether some Auckland f C fans might
have been happy enough to miss it as well. There
(11:34):
seems to be a bit of joy in your voice,
says this text regarding Auckland f C both today and
yesterday on commentary. Look, I'm no I take no joy
from this. I don't I'm honestly hand on, I take
no joy from Auckland f C losing yesterday. If there
was joy in my voice during commentary, was I guess
(12:00):
really aimed at Western United. I thought they were terrific.
I thought they were really really good. Look Auklandessio bounced back.
It's one game, you know, one game in a twenty
seven game season. I think it just because it came
off the back of an unprecedented start, those unbeaten games
that they'd had, and the fact that they had hardly
(12:21):
conceded goals either. They conceded three goals in the first
thirty five minutes yesterday. That's the same number that they
had conceded in the previous seven games combined. So it
was that ten and a half hours, they conceded three
goals in ten and a half hours, and then three
(12:42):
goals and thirty minutes yesterday.
