I find it amazing that so many people think that leo bertos could have a furure as a fullback...he doesnt tackle very well. is getting slower, and being a fullback who will have tro pass the ball back too?

There was a fourfourtwo article quoting Leo saying that there was a lot more confidence in the team at the moment, and I wonder whether that applies to him personally as well. I have also noticed that he tends to beat his man more often lately after he stopped trying for a while, and also that he has a little extra pace. Really good to see.

Midway through the season Bertos found himself dropped to the bench after a couple of lacklustre performances down the wing.

But in recent weeks the New Zealand international has rediscovered his spark and is again looking to take on defenders, while his delivery into the box from open play, free-kicks and corners is still causing problems for opposing teams.

"It's where it should be," the livewire winger said of his form.

"I need to build on that now. It's crunch time in the season and I need to be playing like that, if not better going into the finals."

"We feel like we can do something this year. We really want to win it so we need everyone performing really well."
