Find watching Melbourne City puzzlingly predictable. They generally play very well in first halves, retain possession, and look vastly superior to any opponent they face. However, they often fail to score the goals their possession and play merit (sound familiar?). After the break, alas, they generally tire quickly and look to be on their chin straps from about the 70th minute on, which tends to be the cue for the opponent score, and that leaves City hanging on for the final whistle; in fairness, Brisbane were a tad unfortunate not to leave without a point. Kisnorbo also seems to be habitually reluctant to go to his bench even when it's evident that his players are flagging. Accept that it was the first game of the season, but that wasn't much different from many of last season's performances.
