Anger and nerves at Maccabi Tel Aviv: the criticism of Cain, the demand from Zavi and the omissions. The club didn't like the coach's preparation, they expect Zavi to show leadership right now and don't understand the repeated mistakes of Lucassen and Peretz.

Internal criticism was also leveled at coach Robbie Keane, who once again did not know how to bring the players to the appropriate level of readiness for the second season game. "You come to a season game and after three minutes you score a goal which is our biggest blow," said a player in the team.
