With Arnason you have a guy who should have been put front and centre of our team all season - a guy who has played at a higher level and, although ageing and limited, has a presence and leadership skills. His mistakes on Saturday were bad errors, but the guy didn't bottle it.
Contrast that with AOC - that was possibly the single worst individual performance I have ever seen from an AFC player. He had absolutely zero interest in getting the ball down and playing a pass. He just booted it. There was a complete lack of composure and personal responsibility.
It has been this way for months. AOC has never been good enough - he played second fiddle to Taylor last season and all of a sudden we're supposed to believe he's good enough to be first choice this year...? Utterly laughable. He's totally ill-suited to playing centre back, never mind central midfield!
I think I'm not alone when I say that I'd rather we played Dean Campbell or someone else from the youths and lose than that complete hammer thrower - at least we could get behind the kid. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about AOC's performance.
A total charlatan who should be dropped for the remainder of the season.
