I really felt sad for you guys watching that debacle. The funny thing is if Stein or Brockie had shown a bit of accuracy in their finishing you could have scored three or four too.
A comfortable untouchable coach who keeps playing ageing favourite players has been shown up. The rest of the A League seems to have improved and the Phoenix have gone backwards. What most struck me was the disarray, particularly in midfield which cruely exposed Siggy and Durante in defence. I don't think Herbert knows what to do any more.
You need a complete new broom through the club, and that can only come from a new manager/coach. My fear is Morgan will lose interest in his toy and pull the plug because he's not a die-hard football supporter. We've been through it twice in Auckland. He's clearly not prepared to spend big to make the Phoenix competitive in an improving league.
Danny Hay, who has played at the highest level, could well be an option to replace Herbert IMO. Southampton drew 2-2 with Chelsea and their manager was sacked. Herbert must be the luckiest coach in the game.
