Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi is keeping his cards close to his chest as to who will replace Jamie Maclaren in Friday nights A-League battle against Adelaide United.In-form striker Maclaren is in Thailand on Socceroos duty and will miss the clash at Coopers Stadium after scoring in back-to-back games.Around half a dozen players could conceivably fill in for him up front, including midfielder Brett Holman, Spanish import Arana, winger Brandon Borrello, utility Dimitri Petratos, and young forwards Joey Katebian and Nick DAgostino.Aloisi has made his decision but was in no mood to give the opposition any hints as the Roar seek what would be a fourth consecutive victory.We worked on it yesterday, it seemed to work well, what were trying to do. Hopefully tomorrow it will work really well, he told reporters on Thursday.At the moment, Im not going to say who were thinking of starting with because Im sure Adelaide United will be guessing.Maclaren missed only a handful of games last season and on those occasions was replaced by either DAgostino, Henrique or Jean Carlos Solorzano.The latter two have since left Brisbane while DAgostino is yet to make an appearance for the Roar this campaign.Arana and Petratos, meanwhile, made their season debuts off the bench in last weeks 1-0 win over Melbourne City.Aloisi said it was a difficult decision as no other players in the squad share Maclarens attributes.Maccas a different sort of player to most strikers in this league, he said.He plays on shoulders and makes forward runs, so well have someone there who will (do that), whether its a No.9 who does it or a midfielder who comes from deep or a winger, because its important we have someone to stretch the team.The Roar shocked some observers last week by beating City with a counter-attacking game, which could again be effective against an Adelaide side that looks to dominate possession at home.Aloisi said just because they were adapting their game to suit specific opponents, doesnt mean theyre abandoning their brand of football.One thing youre going to get from Brisbane Roar, well try and play an attacking brand of football to win football games.That doesnt mean you have to have more possession than the opposition, it means when you do go and attack, you attack with a purpose.STATS THAT MATTER* Adelaide have won each of their last two encounters with Brisbane Roar in the A-League and will be looking for a third consecutive win against them for the first time in the league.* Brisbane Roar have earned victory on seven of their last nine trips to Adelaide (L1, D1).* Brisbane have won each of their last three games, conceding only one goal in the process. The last time they won more games in a row was a four-game streak from December to January last season.Charles Mann Youth Jersey . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth.

Charley Taylor Womens Jersey .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court.SINGAPORE -- Dominka Cibulkova put on a stunning show of unflappable tennis to upset top-ranked Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4 to win the WTA Finals title on Sunday.The seventh-seeded Cibulkova, making her debut at the WTA Finals this week, picked the right match to win against Kerber during the week. The two met in the first match of the round-robin stage on Sunday with Kerber prevailing 7-6 (5), 2-6, 6-3.Coming here for the first time and winning the biggest title of my life, I have no words, Cibulkova said. Today you can see I got really lucky in the end.Kerber had won their last five meetings, but now their head-to-head stands at 5-5.The only time Cibulkova looked nervous in the 76-minute match was when she was serving for it at 6-3, 5-4. She missed on three match points and saved two break points before a forehand clipped the top of the net and just dribbled over to give her the victory.Only in the first two match points I was a little bit nervous, I realized what the situation is, Cibulkova said. But after that I only had one goal and I knew I could do it.From the minute Cibulkova hit the first ball of the match she was on fire, taking Kerber out of her game, belting winners at will, and in complete command of the outing.In contrast, Kerber never showed the skills that led her to the No. 1 ranking. She appeared frustrated and unable to contend with the variety of Cibulkovas shot-making.In the first match I played against Angelique (this week), that match gave me confidence that I could beat her, Cibulkovaa said.dddddddddddd. With this thought I was going into the final and I was feeling it from the first point to the last point. I didnt let her into the match today with my being aggressive.Cibulkova posted 28 winners to only 14 for Kerber, and had only 14 unforced errors to 23 for Kerber.Cibulkova, who will end the year ranked No. 5, is the second consecutive player to win the WTA Finals after going 1-2 in the round-robin stage of the competition. Kerber went 3-0 in the round-robin.Last year, Agnieszka Radwanska won the trophy after posting the same record in the round-robin.Cibulkova closes out the year with a record of 53-21, which is the most tour-level matches shes won in a season in her career.This year has been the longest season in my career, Cibulkova said. I dont complain. I wouldnt change it for anything in the world.Kerber ends the year with the most match wins of the season with a 63-18 record. She won her first two Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open and US Open, was a finalist at Wimbledon, and captured the Olympic silver medal, which ensured she took over the No. 1 ranking last month.It was a tough year with a lot of matches, so I give everything on the court today, the rest of the energy I had left, Kerber said. Of course, when Im looking back its one of my best years.I will home now and just think about the best moments and the positive emotions, she added. ' ' '
