Jeff what have you been smoking..Hogg is a left back and Krishna is a striker/right winger. You cant compare the two. If you have watched over the past 2 or 3 seasons you wouldve seen Hogg mark both pearce and Krishna out of games. You say his world club championship performances were lucky, you must remember hes playing against players who are world class and alot better than what he would face in a poorer a-league. Krishna has been quiet this season but has shown a-league potential. I still think Spoonley should be back in Phenoix, he would get game time in reserve team now where before he just sat on his bum.
I dont think Phenoix will look to much into Auckland Citys talent pool however, Seems to be sour grapes because the phenoix feel City are taking their spot at world club champs.
Politics play a big part in NZfootball, so to ask why he or she isnt getting picked? theres probably alot more to it sadly.
Jeff tell me a better left back and a better goal keeper in ASB premiership. Im starting to doubt you have any knowledge about the game or more its a personality clash with city players.
I fail to see how ACFC are taking our spot in the world club champs. To say we aren't signing players from Auckland because we feel they're taking our spot is a massive yarn.
Krishna had a trial,failed to impress. Spoonley could well come back and play in the reserve side.
I still don't quite understand what is being argued here. It just seems like a mess of "no you're wrong,im right" without any point to it.
So what if Auckland have 9 kiwi players in their last 11 while nix had 4.
So what if Hogg and Krishna are the best in their positions in the NZFC? Has nothing to do with the phoenix unless they're good enough,which you cannot prove by saying "hogg marked Krishna out of the game. Don't go making up massive yarns about CWC jealousy in an attempt to make your argument valid.
So what if it isn't 500,000 different people that have come to nix games. Thats still a hell of a lot more than would have come if the nix weren't around. Are ACFC or any NZFC side anywhere near that mark? probably not. Does it matter? no.
The NZFC is doing its part,the phoenix are doing theirs. The only hostility i see is coming from ACFC circles toward the phoenix. And its mostly without any sort of justification. Most phoenix supporters support the NZFC. in fact a lot of people who previously only supported overseas clubs,now support the phoenix and as a result the NZFC too.
How is all this causing argument?
