Lia has gone from scapegoat to getting praised. Stein was never a scapegoat.
Dunno about that, Waffles does come in for a lot of criticism. But unlike Lia, the criticism does have some basis for it.
no basis for Lia's criticism, mate you having a laff right? what abnout all the balls he passes to the opposition that lead to scoring opportunities. Early this season he'd give at least 2 a game away.....this has thankfully disappeared in recent weeks
Lia is not perfect, he is a distinctly average A-League player but gets excessive amount of abuse for what he does. He can have a perfectly decent game and people will still abuse his performance. Yes there is basis for some of the criticism he cops but on the whole, a lot of it unjustified.
With Waffles, when he does cop criticism people tend to provide basis for their opinions rather than just abusing his performance for the sake of it.
