Pressure on in Neill's return to Sydney Lucas Neill will return to where it all started on Saturday night when he attempts to stop Sydney FC's A-League slide in a crunch clash with Central Coast. Neill will on Saturday aim to toast both his 35th birthday and first club fixture in Sydney since leaving Australia in 1995 as a 17-year-old AIS graduate. That won't be easy. The Sky Blues have slipped to eighth place after dropping their past two away games - Neill's first two with the side. They now host the Mariners, a difficult ask at the best of times - let alone when they're out for blood after ceding top spot to Western Sydney. "First domestic game in Sydney since I played with the Institute of Sport 17 years ago," said Neill of his time at the AIS, who had a team in the National Soccer League's youth competition. But I'm familiar with (Allianz) Stadium, I've played on it a few times. Two tough games away. Two negative results and now would be a great time to, against a very strong team, get three vital points. It'll be a very, very tough game. We're going to have to earn our points. The Socceroos captain, released by UAE club Al Wasl at the end of January, suggested his body had adjusted well to the rigours of matches. I feel really good ... I'm feeling a lot sharper. Two games in short succession now and I'm feeling almost to (a point) where I'm at my peak. Neill said the Sky Blues played well in their last-start 2-1 loss to Perth, but were guilty of gifting the Glory two goals. The visitors were also reduced to 10 men, when Fabio received his second yellow card. Both have been common themes in Sydney's on-again off-again 2012/13 campaign, something Neill noted must change. This week the focus is on keeping it tight. Hopefully keeping a clean sheet and keeping 11 players on the field," he said after training on Wednesday. Football is never about defence or attack, it's about a team and what we've done is lapsed in concentration. That's led to a soft goal or an easy goal or a situation that could have been avoided. Judging by some of the comments (about the club's performances), that's the kind of flavour of the season for Sydney FC. But that all goes out the window now. With four games left it's just about getting as many points as we can and putting ourselves in the six.
