Outstanding play by May last night, not just as striker, but dropping back in to mid and winning a ton of possession from tough situations.
Auckland are bullies, and this year, the refs are allowing it. Not my type of play but constant physical pressure and heavy contact is very effective. It wears opponents down.
Imagine how good they'd be if Corica fielded his best side, ie Moreno for François, and Brimmer for Randall.
Randall, unlike François, has looked decent. But Brimmer is too good to leave out. Francois is the 5th choice L wing IMO.
Lastly, I sure hope the Nix management is focussed on the Nix, and not AFC. What works for a club in a major city, having a dream debut season, and whose owner owns a downtown bar won't work for small city teams.
