By the way, just to keep score, high line update - teams have taken full advantage by getting behind our backline and scoring in an embarassingly easy fashion in 3 out of our 5 games so far.
Pretty much like for like goals from the first in the Auckland game too, and exactly what has been covered by A-League scribes and journos over the past few weeks, with Sawyer standing several metres offside when the ball was played down the left - He has a jump on recovering defenders and gets the ball crossed in perfectly and he puts it away...
Exactly, it's not difficult to see what's going on - so defenders need to play deeper.
I ain't gonna criticise any individual players too much,I think they have been coached to mediocrity and robotics - they are so one dimensional,negative and all creativity, innovation and surprise seems to have been removed from them.
Rather than change the players, I'd like to remove all the garbage that has been placed in their heads...
