With all-star phoenix striker, Nathan Burns departing the Wellington Phoenix will have to look toward other talents to score goals and make it to the playoffs this season.
They will have other talents such as Micheal McGlincy, Blake Powell, Roly Bonevacia and Jeffrey Sarpong, but if the phoenix are going to score goals Krishna will likely have to step up and play a starring role.
Even though they had the league's best player they were still eliminated in the first round of the aleague elimination games last season.
Although Blake Powell had a brief stint at Sydney FC last season he is more accustomed to playing his football at a lower level than that of the aleague.
Although he was impressive in the preseason I would not rate him as a contender for the aleague player of the year.
Anyone such as Sarpong who have played in other top Dutch and Spanish leagues knows the pressure of having to step up and the size of the boots Krishna will have to fill for the departed aleague superstar striker Nathan Burns.
Krishna has so far struggled with the increased attention.
"I was just rushing in the final third. With a bit more experience and training I know that in the front third you've got to be a bit more patient with the ball and calm with the ball," said Krishna.
So if we take this to be true can we expect Krishna to become a consistent scorer for the aleague side the Wellington Phoenix?
"Of course," said Krishna.
Although the Phoenix have never looked entirely promising from set pieces, Krishna is hoping that with a little training he will be able to create some magic to propel the Wellington Phoenix forward.
The wellington Phoenix's first game in the Hyundai a league will happen on Sunday 11th October at Westpac Stadium.
