LFC vs South China FC (Match Thread)

[Laddsy]

I have been playing football in Aus for 16 years and I still struggle playing in the heat

[bigfooty]

Crouch and The Crow do well, Yossi wins a fortunate free kick down the right.

[Lecter]

Acclimatized? LOL.

After the emotions of being knocked out the way we were on Saturday and the conditions he's more likely to be worse off.

Jesus ****ing christ, hes played about half a dozen matches in the last 3 weeks and hes tired

Whats he gonna be like come December

[bigfooty]

Free-kick was wasted.

The Crow looking very mobile but playing a bit too far away from Crouch at times so they aren't linking up as good as they might.

Crunching tackle down the left sees South China break, switch play to the other wing and Arbeloa makes a good tackle for a throw. Cross goes out for a goal kick.

[LFCman]

So he's not used to the humid conditions?

To be honest no. The whole Australian team struggled through every game. We under prepared for the tournament big time and only went in with 1 practice game. Most of the players said it was the worst conditions they've ever played in.

He's probably not tired...

[bigfooty]

Crouch and Crow combine well, goes wide to Yossi, his cross is cut out, Momo trys to lift it in but this is also cleared.

[bigfooty]

Crow almost plays in Kewell with a 1-2 but a deflection takes it to safety for South China.

injured

Very true

I'm sorry but this is Kewells year, he has no more excuses its down to him, he has to stay fit and play well if he doesnt hes out on his ear

[Red_Al_77]

To be honest we still lack a quality winger that we can rely on. Pennant and Kewell are fitful at best. Yossi and Babel are not wingers. Gerrard is still the best winger we have which is frustrating.

[bigfooty]

Momo runs into trouble, South China break down the right but it runs out for a goal kick.

South China making their second sub of the game.
