KUANTAN: Coach Irfan Bakti is annoyed with the performance of striker Gustavo Romero and if he has his way, he will have a replacement for the Argentine to help Penang's campaign to qualify for next year's Super League without having to go through the playoffs.
A 1-2 defeat by Pahang at the Darulmakmur Stadium here on Saturday has placed Penang in deep waters and they are in danger of not getting among the top six teams, who gain automatic qualification to the eight-team Super League.
