Sydney FC hunting a striker.

Sydney FC are hunting a striker. Seems Coach Branko Culina isn't happy with Socceroo Alex Brosque, former Socceroo David Zdrillic or new Brazilian import Patrick.

At least not happy enough.


And they do lack a real goal threat despite their win on the weekend.

Juninho's back this week and Tony Popovic maybe. But with the excellent Mark Rudan and Mark Milligan do Sydney really need Popovic in defence?

What has he given them that they haven't already got?

Sydney can make the top four, but it's not looking pretty. The defence isn't settle the forward line isn't settled, and bringing on new-boy Adam Biddle with 15 minutes to go against The Roar suggests the midfield isn't settled.

A few more dodgy results and Branko would be feeling the heat.

His teams produced good performances in the Asian Champions League, players seemed to know their roles.

After 5 A-League games who knows the pattern of Sydney FC?

Confidence comes from winning and the performances of Clint Bolton, Tony Popovic, and Ruben Zadkovich in defence has been, for me, the key reason the rest of the team is struggling.

Keep your goal intact, as they did against the Roar, admittedly without Poppa, Zadkovich in defence and with Bolton back to his best, enabled Sydney to sneak a goal.

And if you are only going to score one, then you'd better have your defence sorted.

What has Branko learn't from the first five games? We'll see on the weekend, or when Poppa is available.
