| Frustration Is Setting In |
Roar Lose Four
With the Roar losing again it is now four losses in a row from a team that a month ago had everyone wondering if anyone would beat them again. But four games later and it is amazing how quickly everyone starts talking about what the Roar are doing wrong and what they need to do to fix it. The same thing that people were praising for the last 12 months are now being criticised. All Brisbane seem to be struggling with is injuries to key players which has disrupted their playing style. Suddenly all the things that worked are quite going smoothly, and the doubt is stating to show. They will bounce back to winning and once they do they will be a force again. If anything it is better for them to go through this mid season then towards the finals. Al teams should be worried that they are potentially in top form too early in the season and the Roar will be at peak come finals. With the injury to Broich I can see the Roar playing for a big signing in the next transfer window.
Big Bash Is Under Way
The Big Bash has one round under its belt, so where is it at? The Big Bash will only get bigger and better and that is good for Australian Cricket. With only a couple of international signings per team it will help grow our domestic scene as long as it does not get over populated with retired players deciding that they are no longer retired. At the moment there is a good mix and it is needed to help mentor the up and coming players of the future. Warner's century was a great knock but some of the calls about his greatness could be true, but lets see him perform at the top level on a consistent basis before throwing to many plaudits his way. I will wait until a few more games have passed before passing too many judgements on players. Plenty of games to go and so far my tipping is not too great. Looking to see the Heat bounce back at the Gabba and storm towards a final.

| Suarez Has the Opposition Chasing Ghosts |
Suarez In Top Form
I sacrificed sleep on a sunday night to stay up and watch Liverpool play Aston Villa and it was worth the tiredness on Monday. Suarez is in great form and even with a quiet first half, once he woke up he was almost unstoppable and on any other day would have scored at least 2 goals. Unfortunately for Suarez though the woodwork was against him, which seems to be a common theme for Liverpool this season. The whole team seems to be working well as a unit and they deserve the record of having the best defensive record this season. With Chelsea drawing Liverpool have made some ground and with games against oppositions that they should account for over the next few games they should be able to move up the ladder and crack into the top four. With the style they are playing I can some plenty more late nights ahead of me.
Barcelona and Daylight
I would not envy the person who keeps the trophy cabinet shiny at Barcelona. Barcelona have added more silverware to their cabinet after winning the FIFA World Club Cup after defeating South American champions Santos, 4-0. This was a game between a team that plays the best style of football in the world and another team that seemed happy to watch them do it. It is not hard to be in awe of Barcelona as they have a system that should be the envy of every coach in the world. And with that system is some of the best players in the world. Many of their players would be happily snapped up by another team, it is just a matter of how to afford them. I am not a supporter of Barcelona but it is always a pleasure to watch how they play.
This might be the last wrap for the year as I am planning on a Wrap of the Year post next. Keep on passing the word and as always let me know if there is an issue or event that you want my thoughts on.
