Even with this average performance...no one is talking about lia. Does that means he was better this week? I thought he was good, but needs to play a long ball quicker rather than a short pass to a close defender
Ricki, is that you?
He was one of our better players on the park yesterday. rarely gave the ball away, played a lovely ball through for Krishna early on that he should have scored from and did some nice work screening the back four, all in a pretty inexperienced midfield
Ummm... what?
Lia was awful i thought, he gave the ball away all too often and lacks a good touch. The amount of backward passing from him is too high, which infloats his passing % and most of the time theyre mishit, putting other players under pressure. I feel like i see this every week though :/
If anything i'd bring in Muscat for Lia - I'd say Lia has played the most minutes this season, and hasn't shown why he should be there in my eyes. Muscat is a good midfielder, he looks the part and plays the part better. Just has to keep his head a little better.
I felt Ridenton showed much more character than Lia, not to mention he's over 10 years younger, and will improve with age. Felt the youth players steped up today, gave it their all. Cunninghams goal was just reward for his attitude to keep at it even though he'd been on the pitch for 85 minutes. Would have liked the substitutions earlier, looked like we only got into the game in the last 15 minutes.
Carlos had a poor game, don't think he should have started, didn't look fully fit. Often caught up field far too often and not tracking back.
