Strange post.
Bachar had a really poor game by his standards and seems not yet to have recovered from his brave efforts in the GF.
Marlion made some mistakes but was clearly among our best. Most who voted for best player seem to agree.
Seeing this post re Bachar have me the chance to comment on that goal that Petracca kicked in Q4, that snap when he kind of hook-kicks to his right half crouched after bending down to collect the ball.
I thought at the time, what on earth was Bachar doing? Then I saw it again on a footy show, including front-on vision.
As Petracca is off balance, Houli actually catches up with him and is running beside him, within arm's reach virtually. Yet he never even stretches an arm out; makes no effort to tackle at all. It's like he just watches on in awe letting CP get the shot on goal away.
I have no idea what Bachar was doing - trying to run by for the handball receive? Quite bizarre ... and truly non-competitive!
