He can't say when exactly, but marquee man Alexander Meier is confident Western Sydney Wanderers fans will see both him and the team at full steam soon enough after blowing out five months of cobwebs in his A-League debut.

Meier played just under an hour in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Central Coast Mariners. By his own admission, the 36-year-old was a long way from his best.

With just two and a half weeks of training under his belt since his arrival in Australia, Meier appeared to labour through his time on the field, although he was not helped by the team's scratchy play and a shortage of decent service from the midfield.

"Personally, it wasn't a really good game from me," Meier said. "The most important thing is we won, that's all that matters. We had Mitch [Duke], he rescued our three points. Everything else will come with time. We are a whole new group with I don't know how many new players and we have to find each other."
