Goals are hard to come by at Wanderland, but with or without Alex Meier in the team, the Wanderers just can't seem to make it stick in the final third.
POI BO...
Alessandro Diamanti has wowed us with his talent and supreme skill, but some of the work he did against the Wanderers showed us he might be one of the most technically gifted players to ever play in the A-League.
Milos Ninkovic and Diego Castro immediately spring to mind. Minds might cast back to players like Carlos Hernandez in an 'older' era of the competition.
Diamanti's class was expertly seen just moments into the game. He received the ball yards from the Wanderers box, we know he enjoys a long range strike, but he held it.
He passed out to his full-back making a run inside the channel, who then allowed Diamanti another bite, he demanded it.
His body language sensed he would wrap his foot around it and dink it to the far post, he wound up ferociously, but the pass was delicate, back out to the wing to Connor Pain making a darting run in behind, you wouldn't have even known he was there.
Western United cut through the Wanderers back line but it was only the hand of Daniel Lopar that stopped them going down early.
The Italian often has the word 'maestro' attached to his name. He more than deserves it.
SYDNEY FC STILL HAUNTING WANDERERS
A total of four former Sydney FC players took to the field against the Wanderers tonight. Jerry Skotadis, Max Burgess and Aaron Calver played while coach Mark Rudan was affectionately known as 'The Big Blue Man'.
It was a beloved former Sky Blue defender that eventually stole a point from the Wanderers.
Aaron Calver, whos pent five years in the harbour side of Sydney, popped up with five minutes to play with a header that may just keep Western United in the top three.
