Italiano was absolutely sharke in his first start, but I remember him being quite good in his 2nd.
I watched him live v City (?) or Victory, can't remember, and he was pretty poor then though.
The question is not whether A-Rod has had a pass mark this season. The question is, can we rebuild the team or next season if we just replace Sarpong with a better foreign player? It also depends what Australians/New Zealanders are on the market. If we can sign a good Australian who plays A-Rod's position then you would probably prefer to spend his visa spot somewhere it is more needed.
It's a shame that Rufer got injured because I felt like he was just starting to develop into a decent midfielder.
