Sydney how Rude!
Sydney were thrashed 4-2 at home to Perth Glory last night.
But the fans still gave Mark Rudan an amazing send-off by any one's standards.
God help them when he's gone, it could be embarrassing!
Mark Rudan was playing his last game before leaving for Japan's lucrative second division.
Sydney FC had to just fall over the line against a very weakened Perth Glory to jump into the top four.
But they couldn't do it.
Mark Milligan had perhaps his worst game ever for any team he has played for. Billy Celeski took full advantage of Milligan's errors and scored three times.
Celeski's goals should not be undervalued in a league where few players have scored consistently.
And if Alex Brosque had been able to convert his chances, and they were easy, Sydney somehow could still have won.
So maybe it's the players. Not Terry Butcher, not Brank Culina and not John Kosmina.
Maybe the all coaches were just okay, but the playing staff just aren't up to the job.
The Glory despite having many players, key players out, finished Sydney off with ease.
Four goals conceded by a Kosmina side at home. A side with a great defence, supposedly. Although last night the best part of the Sydney side matched the usual attacking display.
Both were woeful.
What a good decision to let go of your best defender with a few crucial games to go!
Rudan over Popovic. I'd take the loyal man, the younger man every time.
But Terry McFlynn was poor, Alex Brosque doesn't finish consistently enough. He will never win a Championship for any club. He's too nice in front of goal.
And John Kosmina is getting it all wrong, although clearly let down by Milligan, McFlynn, Brosque and others.
And Sydney amazingly can still get in the four. Next weeks game against the Mariners is important, but should they lose they are still alive.
One starts to wonder exactly what Kossie has brought to the team. More than Butcher? More than Branko?
And recent evidence, it's hard to see.
As for Dave Mitchell if his team has now scored 4, 3 and 4 in their last six games. Wow!
