Well said that sthn.jeff, Lia is going to get a lot of stick this season from us and the opposition as he is seen as a weak link. Unlike Hicks, Rieira, Caira etc he doesn't have the "new boy" tag and he really shoukldn't be losing the ball or giving the ball up where he does - I for one think his time is limited and hope that Ernie is planning on putting Reira in that role with Manny.
We do have to remind ourselves to that ublike other seasons we currently have the youngest squad in the A-league (avg age).
