When is pay going to realise lichha is a dud he takes 10 minutes too pass the ball our backs get the ball with defence all over him ,when jmk came on he was giving bullet passes off the ground give him a crack to start i reckon our attack will benefit
Pay is too conservative and isn't into modern day coaching theories is my take. He wants an 80 minute DH and figures JMK can't last...that's about the only reason I can see why he persists with Lichaa.
As we know there have been other glaring decisions of players out of position and changing their defending sides, changed combos that worked last season, and an apparent willingness to put up with less than 100% effort and/or ability.
It's an average roster for sure, but most judges can see where improvements could be made and should have happened in preparation for Game 1 2019. I'd like to know if our football committee including Anderson, Mortimer, Dunn, Price...all ex players from our glory years, agree with the selections and if they too feel this is the best team we can put on the field.
To compound this situation is the fact that it is almost exactly the same scenario that the club and fans suffered under Hasler. Early days yet for the season and we don't know if Dean will pick the same team for the following week if we lose to the Eels but that's why supporters are worried...very worried.
