Have to agree with you here. Is it no coincidence that perhaps Australia’s best performance in Asia was against Uzbekistan, a side which plays more like an eastern European side.
But the comfort when playing Asian opponents will come with time as we play more qualifiers and progress deeper with A-League sides in the Asian Champions League. At least now, being in Asia, we can identify our deficiencies more accurately than when the Socceroos were winning by ridiculous margins in Oceania, which made it difficult to gauge.

Haha, ignoring the crowd figures for just a moment. Purely on the quality of play so far I would rather watch the Heart, and I’ve seen/ been to all but one of the Victory games so limited bias.
Put it this way; a team failing to perform under the weight of expectation, or a young side passing and moving like the team up North, without anywhere near the same success but is great to watch.

Purely on the pitch was the way the opening was intended. No doubt the Heart will take time to grow in the Melbourne market but expectations both on and off the pitch need to be tempered. Look at the AFL, Port Adelaide entered into the South Australian market and despite having greater success in the past decade they are still struggling for consistent support.
MHFC fans need to be patient but really, who would you have rather watched this season between the two Melbourne sides, it’s a pretty easy answer.

Would say there’s some reasonable doubt of this fact. Question marks over Cassio defensively but, until recently, I would have said he was the best going forward. Now, with Behich and Stefanutto, I would say he’s no longer the best at that either.
Socceroos must look to EPL's Newcastle to fix left-back headache
Haha as a Liverpool fan I would beg to differ. Not so much now, but past (American) owners brought the club to it’s knees! Due diligence must be done when going down the path of foreign ownership.
Who's paying the price for A-League's problems?
I doubt Holger will look at either Oar or Leckie in the short-term as they have been playing very little for their respective club sides, whilst Carney only just had his first start for Alcorcon so will take time to find his groove again. The four A-League lads should all be considered, although Carle and Vidosic play a very similar role to Holman and Cahill.

So naive john (the commenter, not the writer); on the open market in Europe I would guarantee that at this point in time Holman would be Australia’s most expensive player. He is a gun, and I’m gonna go out on a limb and say you haven’t watched a Socceroos or AZ game in the past 18 months if you still think he has to go.

Actually I was there supporting Sydney FC; or generally whoever Victory are playing if I happen to end up at a game. It’s more due to the fact that the majority of people I know jumped on the Victory bandwagon because of Harry; you have know idea how many people I know that would’ve been Heart fans this year if it wasn’t for Harry.
I was talking more for the neutral, that doesn’t support either side just yet, and if they watched the Derby, or pretty much any of the Derbies so far, I think they would be leaning towards MHFC.
