If chiefy insists on the same tactics and can't get any decent local aus/NZ players on board in the transfer window, it's going to be a grim couple of seasons. The only silver lining is we will probably get a fun Auckland Franchise to distract us from our own woes.
As a loyal fan I stayed up till midnight watching this horror show. By the look of our performance last night, Chiefy will have his work cut out for him if he has any ambition.
Are we really a bad team all of a sudden? Probably not, players cannot suddenly lose their individual skills, but something has visibly changed. Did Talay take his foot of the gas? Even if so, players on the field are not preschoolers and the coach alone is not the reason.
And yet - we stopped playing well, while teams like WSW or Adelaide (hey, even M Victory) have simply improved out of sight over the last few months. Even Brisbane gave us a very solid run for our money. We seem to have lost purpose about six weeks ago, have not found it again, and this is reflected in how we play.
Macarthur will look to the next game with anticipation.
