Honda coaching the team somewhat now, that's the difference.

Looke out Muskrat, he's after your job next season.

Honda definitely playing a role but it is the new assistant manager that is probably having the biggest influence on Muscat's improved coaching this year.

Yes that guy looks to be very capable.

Maybe Roar should chase him. Can't go any worse than the Bros Aloisi.

He will ultimately be judged on what he does in Asia this season, by extension of that it will answer if Victory are actually THAT good or if the rest here locally are THAT bad.

He's got the luxury of a star-studded attack, he also brought in a Spanish coach as his assistant as i see him often taking to him quite a fair so clearly, he's got influence from him too which helps.

Is he better than Arnold or Ange? Hard to say.

My only problem is his reliance to play the youngsters more minutes he's someone that doesnt back youth which is disapointing, then again you can say the same with most a-league sides.

He’s got the luxury of a star studded attack because he knows how to recruit and entice.

One of the hallmarks of a great coach.

Well, he deserves a bit of respect. 

Despite the constant belittling of him as a coach, he has taken a completely decimated side to the top of the j league. 

Thai is after being one of Australia’s most successful ever coaches. Time to recognise how good he is at this.

He has managed to twice rebuild teams and team structure. This latest undertaking started slowly but is looking quite promising at the moment. 

It's odd to think of all the stick and comments on here from people saying he can't coach and is useless - despite his trophy cabinet and achievements.

As for 'the best' - not sure that exists. Horses for courses. 

One area where Muscat has excelled is players - man management, attracting players and scouting. Every player he has signed has performed, with the only one standing out being beister which is way too early to make a call on. 

Wow. Five years ago but for once I still stand by a post 😂

He is intelligent, thoughtful and has proven to be resourceful manager.

As a player he was focussed, quick of mind, careless of body and an absolute krunt to be on the field with.

Happy for him to Coach at any level.  Wouldn't like him to join in the training sessions.

Except that he rebuilt the team that just won.  It wasn't Anges.

Did the same at MV. 

Also the thing about Yokohama FM, is that they have never really been a top-of-the-table side. They have been more of a middle of the table side. Plenty of other JLeague clubs have way more money and resources compared to Yokohama FM. Taking them to the top is a bigger achievement than taking MV to the top.

Alot easier getting good players to winning clubs, not so much the case from losing positions.

The positional play is identical, all that he has done is get like for like players. So I guess he's better then the pretender corica as corica just recycled old players.

He stops acting like Ange's Remora, and I'll give him the respect. Gotta move out of anges shadow though.

Muscat has merited of a similar squad and intact playing style but he has done a good job to be around the top 2 since he took over.

Like Corica he's challenge will be inheriting a different squad and playing that same style of play from their previous coaches.

All teams even in jleague on points. 45 minutes to go. 

Yokohama is 1-1 the other team 0-0 so both on 66 points. Yokohama have superior goals. If Kawasaki score and Yokohama draw, Kawasaki win the title. 

Down to the wire!
