Mmm.

Would rather see better control from the boys, we have reverted to old ways...

Muscat is getting ripped apart. Dodd should've started like I said

It's because Melbourne play very narrow. Adelaide are the opposite. They play very wide. Us packing midfield doesn't do anything and Brown, McKain and Ferrante are tottally ineffective.

We were at home last week, we're not this week. It's simple football logic.

Three for me, and two for them.

Agree completely, and things like this should be taken into consideration when prepping for a match.
 
Can't play like we did last week all the time and expect it to be effective against every team in the league. Need to break teams down before the game and come up with a gameplan to hold 'em and still be maintain an attacking presence...

Nothing to do with home advantage. It's the A-League. Our tactics haven't changed from the Melbourne game even though Adelaide play completely differently. This is Ricki's fault - no doubt about it.

That's exactly the problem. You can't keep all of 'em out as a keeper if the D ain't shutting their options down...
