And also, the main problems that we had last year (conceding too many anmd struggling to score) are EXACTLY the same this year.
Also whomever decided to recruit a foreign attacking midfielder (Finkler) in the exact same position as our best forign player (Bonevacia) but then kept him on the books is a complete idiot. That has to go down as one of the great Pheonix transfer fudge ups.
ALso, does anyone find it odd that Finkler has been allowed to miss 4 matches this season to go and see his wife and kid in Brazil? He's employed to pay football in Wellington and I suspect very well paid. Seriously, if you choose not to bring your family to NZ why should you get time off in the middle of the season to head home. Pisstake.
Edit: Re Bonevacia, before coming to the 'Nix he was primarily a defensive player - I think that Ernie trying to improve our midfield having Roly and WeeMac behind Finkler is ok considering the system he wanted to play. I did think that Roly was not very disciplined in that role when you look at how ARod and Lia have played there. I still think under Ernie our defence was much improved but we were struggling to score, the change to Des&Greenie resulted in a few more goals in attack but a lot more against.
