Remember when these multipage discussions on the merits (or otherwise) of a specific player after every single game (the designated scapegoat) were about Brown, and then Lia? Good times.
We never really replaced Tim Brown to be honest. A proper goal scoring central-midfielder.
I reckon if Brown was playing right now he wouldn't get anywhere near an A-League starting berth. Wasn't a DM. Needed two screeners behind him, but also wasn't an AM with much creativity..
Basically the A-League's version of Aaron Ramsey
