Sydney FC skipper Alex Brosque has declared this years ladder-leading squad the best hes seen in his eight seasons at the A-League club.The former Socceroo celebrated his 150th game in the Sky Blue with a goal in their 4-1 rout of Perth on Sunday that extended their season-opening winning streak to six.The title heavyweights are now one win off breaking Melbourne Victorys record seven successive wins to kick off their title-winning 2006-07 campaign.Brosque said he couldnt remember a Sydney FC unit as dominant as the current version.You go through pre-seasons hoping that youll get a start like this, but in the A-League, its that tough and anyone can beat anyone on their day, Brosque said.It makes it even more special what weve done. Six games that weve won in a row, the FFA Cup as well, making the final there, its not easy.Its a difficult competition. The foreigners will tell you that. From week to week, if youre not as close to your best as possible, youre not going to win.Ive never seen a team at Sydney since Ive been here, start this way, even play this way, dominate games this way.Ahead of next weeks clash against Brisbane, Sydney FC are six points clear of second-placed Melbourne City and 16 ahead of defending premiers Adelaide in last place.However Brosque, who at 33 years of age is the oldest player on the Sky Blues roster, urged his playing group not to get carried away with their early-season success.He was quick to point out how the club were sitting comfortably in the top four last season before winning just one of their final 12 games and missing the finals.There is a long way to go. Were not getting carried away, he said.(The coaching group is) not going to let us and we cant afford to because we started well last year and then we fell away. We need to just maintain and keep doing what were doing. Vincent Kompany Belgium Jersey . "I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. Marouane Fellaini Belgium Jersey . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. http://www.belgiumsoccerpro.com/Axel-Witsel-Belgium-Jersey/ .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. Simon Mignolet Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. Leander Dendoncker Jersey . Isner, ranked No. 14, won his eighth career singles title and took the title in New Zealand for the second time after his victory in 2010. The match was similar to Isners quarterfinal victory over fifth-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber which went to three sets, all tiebreaks and contained no breaks of serve. NEW ORLEANS -- As far as Anthony Davis was concerned, there wasnt much to discuss. He appeared eager to escape the Pelicans locker room rather than stew over what was arguably the most demoralizing of New Orleans 16 losses this young season.Davis, who is having one of the best individual seasons of anyone in the NBA, had just seen his latest impressive stat line go to waste. He scored 26 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked two shots on Thursday night. Yet the Philadelphia 76ers not only won their first road game in nearly 11 months, they did it going away, 99-88 .Were just not playing right, Davis said, the agitation evident in his eyes as he sat in front of his locker. Whatever it is we need to do, we need to figure it out.Davis said it was the most frustrating game for him since he was drafted first overall by New Orleans in 2012 -- just months after leading Kentucky to an NCAA national championship.Coach Alvin Gentry said Davis isnt getting enough help on the offensive end.We just cant come down and throw the ball into Anthony, Gentry said, adding that the Pelicans know defenses will often double- and triple-team Davis. Were supposed to be passing the basketball, cutting and moving, trying to get back out to space and we didnt do that. Thats on me. I take responsibility for that. Well find the people thatll do that.Davis is on his second coach since turning pro, and the lineup around him has been constantly in flux, sometimes because of injuries, other times because of trades.General manager Dell Demps traded the Pelicans 2013 first-round draft choice to bring in Jrue Holiday, who is currently sidelined by a toe injury. Holiday also missed the first 12 games of this season while on personal leave to tend to his wife, retired U.S. soccer player Lauren Holiday, who needed brain surgery shortly after giving birth to their first child. Holiday didnt play much during his first two seasons in New Orleans, either, because of a stress fracture in his lower right leg.Holiday returned for most of last season, albeit on minute restrictions for many games, but by then, New Orleans was dealing with other significant injuries. Guard Tyreke Evans missed most of last season with a right knee injury and hasnt yet played this season, although he appears close to returning. Small forward Quincy Pondextter missed all of last season with a left knee injury and his absence remains indefinite.dddddddddddd didnt expect this, said Gentry, who is in his second season but has not for one game -- one practice, even -- been able to coach the entire team he thought he was taking over when he was hired away from Golden States staff. The bottom line is, I dont care who we have in the locker room. All I expect them to do is compete and play hard, which theyve done most of the nights, and then weve got to try to find a way to execute and then weve got to make some shots.Gentry is the only coach hired by Demps, who came to New Orleans in the summer of 2010 and inherited former coach Monty Williams. Demps fired Williams after he coached the Pelicans to the 2015 playoffs, securing the Western Conferences eighth seed on the last day of the regular season before the Warriors eliminated New Orleans in a four-game sweep.Demps said he expected Gentrys up-tempo brand of basketball to better suit Davis and a supporting cast that last season included guard Eric Gordon and sharp-shooting forward Ryan Anderson. But Gordon and Anderson both struggled with injuries last season and then left in free agency, and New Orleans brought in forward Solomon Hill, who has averaged less than six points, and guard ETwaun Moore, who was averaging 11 points before he went out this week with a toe injury.While Davis is averaging nearly 32 points per game, the Pelicans shooting percentage of 43.9 ranks 22nd in the 30-team NBA. Their 3-point percentage of 31.4 ranks 29th.Pelicans owner Tom Benson, who also owns the NFLs Saints, has exercised patience in his approach to his basketball team so far. How long that lasts remains to be seen. Pelicans players who took questions about the possibility of front office or coaching upheaval didnt seem eager to express an opinion about it.I dont worry about any of that. If it happens, it happens, Hill said. Everybody knows its a business.You never come into a situation where you have an MVP candidate and some good, tough players and think youre going to be in this position, Hill continued. Weve shown spurts of how we want to play basketball. We just cant be consistent. ' ' '
