Bev Priestman

That's the big issue for this team is putting the ball in the back of the net.

I listened to Bev Priestman's post-match comments and she said that's the most frustrating thing is that we're creating the chances.

We're just not putting them in the back of the net.

I asked her last week actually in the pre-game media conference whether you can coach ruthlessness And her answer was, I can demand ruthlessness, which I think is a very different thing.

And look, this isn't the first team that's had 20-odd chances and not scored any of them.

I mean, look at Brisbane the other night, 19, and they only scored one.

But it must be a source of immense frustration for Bev Priestman watching on.

I always wonder about this because when it happens with various teams and they're struggling in front of goal and the response is always, we'll just have to really work on our finishing this week.

And the Wellington Phoenix women also looking for their first win.

Sunday night over in Perth, the distance derby, 11.40. It's a pretty late one on a school night, but Bev Priestman will be desperate for three points in that game too.

Absolutely.

We move on to the Men's National League and Men's and Women's National League.

Maybe today is not the day is one of those things.

I mean, yeah, we went into the half 1-0 down, and having seen what Bev Priestman said about it was she wasn't – You know, she wasn't tearing the paint off the walls and flipping tables over in the dressing room, but she did say we need a reaction from that half because we were on top.

All of the metrics I saw, we were on top.

The goal has come against the run of play.

I don't think...

I think we take three points from this.

I don't think Bev Priestman is going to let them leave Western Australia without three points.

And with the players we've got coming back, with the improvements we saw in that second half, yeah, my money's on coming home with three points from Western Australia.

Holly Furphy bundled it home.

Bev Priestman said afterwards that at half-time she thought that Victory had bullied them.

She was happy with the way they came out and responded with greater urgency after the break.

And Michaela Woods almost inevitably was the goal scorer.

on two fronts, right? I know others will have different opinions and will probably blame the wind and stuff like that, but the keeper flaps it at once, but then has a second chance to clear it with his feet and doesn't.

Yeah, well, Bev Priestman, their coach, was unhappy with the first half performance against the Victory.

Yeah, I mean, I'm frustrated with the first half.

I thought we allowed them to bully us.

So that would have been a wonderful story.

They were better in the second half.

Bev Priestman.

Animated is not the right word.
