Ifill did well with his goal toward the end but f**k me he was ordinary most of the game, some poor options.
Poor options like set up the first goal with a beautiful ball across the face of goal? If he'd controlled one of his touches a little better you'd be jizzing across the screen about how great he is. He was ordinary by way of results perhaps, but he's half a post from another goal, half a touch too heavy on another, he could have conceivably ended up with 3 goals out there plus a goal assist.
The 'Nix were caught out a few times with through balls as their defensive line was slightly too high and the fullbacks were slightly too attacking leaving the centre halves exposed to a quick counter. Nonetheless, I thought they were all over Newcastle, I think the balls into the penalty area finishes up something like 60-15 to Wellington.
I actually though Kantarovski wasn't too bad. Was reading Ifill quite well and defending him well for a lot of the game. Inevitably though Ifill's sheer class ends up shining through if you're off for half a second. It was only when Daniel came on that Newcastle's defence got owned but in fairness they were pushing numbers forward by that stage.
