Sydney FC are at no risk of letting their FFA Cup final loss bleed into their A-League title push, midfielder Brandon ONeill says.The table-toppers are determined to use it as motivation to continue their undefeated streak in the league.The Sky Blues bid to lift their first trophy in six years came undone at the final hurdle on Wednesday night against Melbourne City.The team must turn deflation into drive when they travel to Newcastle on Sunday in a bid to stay top of the table.ONeill said coach Graham Arnold and skipper Alex Brosque had moved quickly to pull the team out of their disappointment.We can definitely overcome that - not only overcome it but win the league. The boys are really confident in that, ONeill said.Its something that can go two ways. It can deflate it and you can sit on your laurels and feel a bit sorry for yourself, or you drive on.With the characters we have in the change room, the latter prevails.The key will be producing the type of attacking football Sydney have become known for this season, which went amiss on Wednesday and in last weekends uninspiring goalless draw with Adelaide.In the first five to six weeks, we not only defended really well but also attacked and played some scintillating football, ONeill said.The last couple of weeks have definitely been below par. Personally, on my end as well, I feel Ive been below par.If we can tie in what weve been doing defensively and get back to getting on the ball in the right areas, playing a lot of balls forward, attacking and creating a lot of chances, I feel like theres only one team that can beat Sydney FC and thats ourselves.

Geeongs ignominious end to the 2016 AFL season still doesnt sit well with Patrick Dangerfield, the Brownlow medallist demanding a lift across the board from the Cats.Geelongs premiership tilt was effectively over at quarter-time of their preliminary final after Sydneys devastating seven-goals-to-nil opening blitz.Dangerfield admitted the manner of the resounding defeat still irks him as the clubs full playing list came together for pre-season training.I think it will be in the back of the mind for a fair while ... it was a bitterly disappointing way to finish the season, but we look forward to 2017, Dangerfield told reporters on Wednesday.Id be lying if I said it wasnt in the back of my mind, but we need to look forward.Dangerfield, who was the runaway Brownlow Medal winner just days after the Cats finals exit, still has areas of his game he wants to improve.But he and midfield partner Joel Selwood could barely have done much more against the Swans, gathering 39 disposals each.The former Adelaide star agreed a more even contribution was required for his side to bbe a legitimate challenger.ddddddddddddI think we all need to share the load better ... we need to perform better for each other, he said.We were too inconsistent when we really required our very best at the pointy end of the season.The good teams perform consistently and thats what we need to strive to get to.Other teams around us are improving as well ... GWS, Sydney and the Western Bulldogs - Im sure theyre not resting on their laurels.Mercurial midfielder Steve Motlop looms as a key factor next year after an inconsistent 2016 campaign saw him put up for trade by the Cats, who found no suitors.After returning from holidays out of shape last year, Motlop cut a lean figure at Simonds Stadium on Wednesday.Steves in really good shape, which is really good to see, Dangerfield said.Hes one of the best players in the competition when he plays at his best so we need that and we need it consistently and Im confident hell be able to do that.
