I am sure Italiano knows more about the Ball situation than we do. But by not saying anything, he leaves some of us (well, me) with a sour taste thinking we could no worse than bringing Ball on halfway through second half last week (against Melbourne City B).
We keep saying City B , but a back line with Behich and Trewen and an experienced midfield, behind a bunch of young forwards keen to break through into professional football is still not a weak lineup by the standards of the league. And they’re second on the table.
Not to be pedantic, but they’d only be 6/7th if Phoenix had beaten them.
ETA.
…and Phoenix would be 8th
