Ricki is God...
Its all the players fault.
We went back to 100% route 1 tonight. Played 3 CM's....longballed just about everything, got lots of crosses in...and got absolutely dicked. So if we lose trying to play more possession football and we get hammered when we play long ball then what is left.
Absolutely the darkest day for the club. I never predicted this drubbing but I thought that the way we have been defending that sooner or later we would be taken apart.
So what's the coaching staff been doing? why haven't they fixed the glaring problems at the back? The style you play is irrelevant if you can't defend. You could expect this if we had a bunch of niave kids there but we have a group of highly experianced pro's.
I think the blueprint how to get out of this mess is Sydney themselves....they have been a shambles most of the season....they got a 7 goal drubbing from CCM. What did they do? They sacked the coach..got some new ideas and discipline. Strengthened the squad and they have hauled there season around.
IMO the first cracks in the Herbert crown started to appear during the Honiara fiasco.....time catches up with coaches...the game moves on and I think Herbert has lost the team. All this "total football" stuff is just a smokescreen....we have been poor since the first game.
This nightmare can't continue
