I don't think it was any large suprise thate afte having such high level play from both a GK and FOGO, they would take a step back, but I don't think it was expected to be this much.
They did lose their top player at the beginning, so that couldn't have helped either.

However, I don't think it will take that long to rebound for them. They are a very well managed program.
