Stensness is better than Rufer. We wanted to keep him, but he went to Europe (CCM)
On the weekend's performances he's better than both our mids! A few misplaced passes here and there but no more than our guys. He was everywhere and actually could've/should've scored after a lung bursting run up the park. Considering his age and inexperience he is doing brilliantly.
Nothing flukey about the Mariners win over Perth either. They are so much better organised than us it's not funny.
Rufer was better than Stensness last year. I think part of the problem is our formation and tactics, which seem to be confusing for our midfield. Perhaps we'd be better with Piscopo and McCowatt starting, from the defensive side of the equation.
Our defense is at the moment, worse than last year.
Also he came over from Oz cos of Rudan yeh and has links to Central Coast? Before that he wasn't thinking NZ right?
