1. A big disappointment for Maccabi Haifa after the 2: 0 loss to Maccabi Petah Tikva last night (Saturday).
Even before the game against Guy Luzon's trainees, Maccabi Haifa talked about it being a kind of season game for them - a meeting that came at the end of a long and busy series of games, during which the team had to make do with many subtractions.
But plans are separate and reality is separate.
Already in the first half, it seemed that the Greens continued their ability from the game against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
"Admittedly, we just looked bad," a player on the team stated.
"Maccabi Petah Tikva surpassed us in every parameter. Against Hapoel Tel Aviv we managed to extract a victory but with such ability it is impossible to 'steal' another victory. In an overall view of the season so far we are the best team in the league but we must return and be like that immediately."
Now Maccabi Haifa will wait for Maccabi Tel Aviv's game tomorrow against Betar Jerusalem and if the Yellows win, the Greens went down for the first time since the eighth round to second place and will lose the premiere at a very bad time for them. We were led by a gap of eight points before the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv and now we have probably dropped everything.
"We definitely have to reset." Despite the loss, the professional team does not intend to over-wash the players and work with them on the mental side to make it clear to them that nothing is closed. "With all the pain, we are strong in the championship fight," said a team source. Will go all the way.
We are strong enough to win the championship this year. "
Will give rest to several players.

2. Apart from the general feeling, the club heard criticisms of the defensive game and the central link.
Coach Barak Bachar decided to give the credit to Eid Habashi but it was like the rest of his teammates in a disappointing defense and the coordination between him and Ernest Mabuka led without a few situations of the opponent.
"It is forbidden to come to one player or another with complaints," stated one of the senior players.
"We all looked bad as a team and as individuals."
Bachar will give a rest in the coming days to a number of players, but it seems that ahead of the meeting against Bnei Yehuda, Ofri Arad will return to the squad, with Taleb Twataha and Raz Meir also likely to find themselves again at 11.
"We must not go back to absorbing easy goals like at the beginning of the season," said a source in the team.
"It was our strength - that we knew how to hold the opponent to a minimum of situations. In the last few games there has been a loosening and that way it is much harder to win because you are actually chasing the opponent."
Will he finally return to the staff?

Bachar can be encouraged by the fact that the team will now have more than a week of rest and especially by the fact that some returning players will return to the squad.
Dolev Haziza will return to the squad after a four-game suspension and will return directly to the squad. Goodsway Donio, who suffered a slight strain in the back thigh muscle, will return to activity and will be on the squad for the game against Bnei Yehuda.
One that worries the Greens a bit is Charon Cherry who reported a groin contraction.
The Dutchman will be checked on Sunday and the club hope it is not too serious an injury.
The person who received a fifth yellow card last night was San Menachem and he will be absent from the cup game against Maccabi Petah Tikva.
