One of the better derbys I've been too - thought Victory were comfortably the better team for the first hour, but once Mauk was introduced,Valeri had 2 creative players to worry about which then gave Mooy more space and he started to cut Victory apart. Kusmanovski was really impressive, was giving Geogrgievksi the run around in the 2nd half, very skillfull player! I'm happy with where City are at, add Franjic, Novillo, Grameiro as well as a fit Zullo to the starting lineup and I'll back us in to turn the result around in the return games later this season.

I was disappointed to lose like that in the end, all 3 victory goals were cheap for mine, although khalfallas ball was a ripper.

I like the look of Deng, impressive

I thought City's keeper could have caught the cross to Barba for our second even with his Zimmer frame.

I really can't stand Delovski. Misses all the blatant fouls but pays all the junk ones.

Lucky to be level still. They're killing us. Where has our mojo gone?

Victory just can't win in Newcastle.
Haven't done so since 2009.

Even harder now that Newcastle have scored.

Second game out of the first 3 where we have played like arse. Where the game is played has nothing to do with us consistently crossing the ball into Newcastle's deep defenders. Deserve to lose.

Dead set what a disgusting effort. Wearing clown shoes tonight. Would love to see pass completion %.

Delovski has to banned from reffing Victory games too. After the complaint aginst him last season he throws 5 yellows and at least 3 were out of nothing more than spite. stuffwit.

Newcastle = North Melbourne of the A-league.

Profligate possession describes the way Victory played on Friday night. Despite a heap of the play, we lacked intensity and ideas and our final third play was shocking and disorganised. Khalfallah and Finkler probably had their worst games for us. We just never looked switched on and copped a ripper sucker punch goal from Carney who made us pay.

The power of politics. The FFA to get rid of a club that's relatively financially stable because they're not Australian so they can bring in another Sydney club to score a state of the art $60m facility from the local member who happens to be the Treasurer. Makes no sense otherwise as the St George area would support Sydney FC already.
