Maybe they watched different games.
You can spin a 1-1 draw numerous ways but it was interesting to hear the musings of the respective coaches following Sunday's stalemate between the Wellington Phoenix and the Newcastle Jets at Westpac Stadium.
"Yeah, disappointing I think," was Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert's initial reaction. "I kind of thought there was only one team in the game today. I didn't think we looked threatened at all and [when you] defend like that, get a player sent off and don't deal with the cross, I'm not sure they offered a lot more but I think we probably threw away two [points] rather than got one."
Jets coach Gary van Egmond was asked if he thought his side were lucky to sneak a draw after an Emile Heskey header in the 73rd minute levelled the scores following Louis Fenton's first-half goal for the Phoenix.
"No, not at all," van Egmond said. "Brain explosion by a player, they brought things back level again, which should never have happened and I thought we actually created some good chances in the first 15 minutes and I felt for the mainstay that we looked to try and control the game. Even when we went down to 10 men I still think we tried to control the game and I thought we were a little bit slack on allowing them to get the opportunity to score their goal.
