It's time to go... Aloisi?

The clock is ticking for John Aloisi after his Melbourne Heart went down 1-0 to reigning premiers Western Sydney Wanderers at AAMI Park on Friday night. Big brother Ross would not be impressed so it could be time to go.

The loss sees Heart remain winless in the 2013/14 season, locked at the bottom of the Hyundai A-League table and goalless in their last three contests, causing pressure to mount on the man in charge.

Another beautiful evening at AAMI Park

Shannon Cole’s goal in the 27^th minute came after waves of pressure from the host all amounted to nothing, an all too common sight for the men in red and surely leaving a sour taste in the mouths of fans.

Robbie Wielaert, donning the captain’s armband for the evening, needed to do better to clear an incoming cross in a contest with Tomi Juric, while Cole took advantage of the “schoolboy error” in defence and had two bites at the cherry before finally sending the ball past Andrew Redmayne in goal.

Post-game, Aloisi had positives to say regarding the performance of his bottom-placed Heart.

“We pushed the Wanderers, they are minor premiers, who were close to full strength with I think only Hersi missing. With the boys we had out [Kisnorbo, Hoffman, Kewell, Engelaar, Maccalister all out injured] I thought we did well to push them this far.

"If we keep on working and improving, the results will come. We’re five games in and there’s 22 games to go. Points will come.”

There was no doubt Heart had their chances to take points from the game, similar to their performance last week against the Brisbane Roar. Their poor finishing however was once again a frustrating factor for the 8000 fans who braced the harsh Melbourne weather in hope that their side would turn their lack of fortune around.

Showing their disappointment, Heart fans jeered their boys off at half time and also took to social media to slam Aloisi’s decision to replace Heart’s danger man David Williams with Nicholas Kalmar while chasing the game in the second half.

Williams was arguably best on field for the hosts during his 65 minutes on the pitch and caused trouble for the Wanderers defence throughout the game, hitting the crossbar with a powerful long-range shot early in the contest.

The only explanation Aloisi had for the change was that Kalmar “looked very good”. No doubt many Heart fans of the female gender may agree with his statement, however he could do little to help salvage a point for the hosts to ease the pressure on Aloisi.

The coach should probably steer clear of Twitter, with Heart fans starting their own #AloisiOUT campaign after the lack of results. We're sure Frank Farina will be more than happy to pass on some advice on what not to do. Both coaches meet next week when Melbourne Heart host Sydney FC at AAMI Park on Friday night.

The Wanderers… well, they’re sitting pretty atop the table after their tough win however will be slightly concerned with wonder boy Tomi Juric, who had to be helped off the field post match with an injury. They host Melbourne Victory next week, which should be a fascinating contest both in the stands and on the pitch.
