Although Hapoel Tel Aviv showed good ability against Maccabi Petah Tikva, they again failed to register a victory and did not score a goal for the third time out of five games they have had so far in the league.
The club knows that without reinforcements in January, especially for the offensive part, the team will fight at the bottom this year.
Hapoel are considering cutting the striker to Ban Kotlia in January - there was a desire for him to leave in the summer but the parties have not reached an agreement on allowing the contract - and to replace him with another foreign striker and options for foreign strikers are already being examined.
Hapoel would also like to see Dan Einbinder arrive in January, and know that depending on developments in his arbitration against Betar Jerusalem, the Black Yellows may participate in his salary, but in any case they will have to make room for him in the budget and this is not an easy task at all.
Hapoel claimed that they were deprived by the referee due to the dismissal of Eddie Gottlieb and said: "This is a hallucinatory red."
Brakeman Iyad Abu Abid commented on his team's draw: "Everyone saw an improvement in ability. We got to half-situations and with a little more concentration in the last part we could also win this game."
Abu 'Abid added: "We are currently in a kind of positive momentum, we are trying to maintain it and we are now facing Kadima to Kiryat Shmona. It is a very difficult away game, but we will come to take the points."
