The long off-season was interrupted this year by a very long international tournament that distracted me from writing the usual blog post summarising the Player of the Season results. That tournament finished this morning and Sydney FC’s season kicks off tomorrow night, leaving me with no more excuses (let alone time) to get it done.

Going into the season, the attacking lineup provided reasons for excitement but there were obvious holes elsewhere, and it didn’t take long for that to manifest on the field.
