sorry, hit the shortcut key to post…
Mark Bridge is absolutely clueless in that role, he’s slow on the ball, has a poor touch, poor vision and always turns over position even in very good positions
Saba would find himself selected at right wing, a left footer on the right flank.. is Popa serious? He did the same to Ruka, when has Ruka ever played on the right flank for any club?
With regard to Mooy, if your intention is to get rid of Ono.. why wouldn’t you try and hold on to Mooy? Suddenly we don’t have anyone in the middle to run the show.. Poljak and La rocca are good CDM’s, but their distribution is basic as opposed to Mooy’s brilliance in that part of his game.. Mooy can turn defence to attack in a second with his pin point, long range passing.. it takes us an eternity to move the ball from defence to attack.. we often don’t, by-pass the middle and hoof it to the front.. such a terrible style of play
If Saba was his man to run the middle, then blame squarely sits with Popa.. he was scouting him from season 1, so he knew all about him.. his treatment of him was disgraceful.. and the whole time the club was trying to pull wool over eyes about the whole saga

Saba was never really given a chance to impress in the no 10 role, more often than not Bridge was selected ahead of him in the position.. MARK BRIDGE!!

Popa is lucky, here in Australia we are a bit more forgiving and that really stems from the lack of promotion/relegation
If we are that far behind in any other competition in the world and it’s sayonara Popa
We can afford to hang in there with him and hope he turns it around, the consequences are not as severe. But show me something, ANYTHING that we are going to turn this around
If we finish the season in this same hole we find ourselves currently, what confidence do we have that next season will be any different?

Popa has no doubt earned himself some time, but how long? What is worrying is that I am not seeing evidence that he is going to turn this around
We saw the same old boring formation v Adelaide, 1st half was ok and we got our goal, then the 2nd half starts and it’s back to hoofing it to Juric and hoping for the best
Game sits at 1-1, La Rocca gets subbed and he is hurried along by the ref… WE WERE WASTING TIME, WTF??!!!! Are we not trying to win games, are we seriously satisfied with a draw when we are rooted to the bottom of the table??
Our mindset is completely out of whack and that is all down to Popa

J Binnie, fair points.. in a competition like HAL, you get found out very quickly if your recruitment/retention policies fall short
We let go of Ono, Hersi, Polenz and Mooy.. (throw Elrich in that mix) added players like Saba and Adeleke who were on the next plane out.. disastrous
But at the same time, if you look at our squad on paper.. is it a squad that should be sitting dead last?
Yes our recruitment has been poor but it does not excuse our on field performances, they have been truley diabolical
We are comfortably below CCM and Jets, that says a lot considering where those 2 clubs are at

what happens on the administration side of the club shouldn’t affect what happens on the pitch
what i do know is that Lederer gave Popa the green light to sign a marquee and Popa decided he didn’t need it.. is that is stubborness getting in the way again?
