Poos performance 1st half.
Need to rark the fark up for the 2nd if we want anything out of this.
Still love the boys though! Inconsistancy is only consistant factor in all Wellington based sport franchises...

the question must be asked....."are we, are we, are we arsenal in disguise"?
At least the Gunners win about 5/10 headers in the box. We have won ZERO first time headers from set pieces. That is terrible.
Feel like we needed to score before half time to stop a blow out unfortunately. Ricki is a bit stubborn when it comes to changing tactics it seems so i'm guessing we'll just see the same in the 2nd half.

Why do we always play so badly in Adelaide?
Maybe it's hot over there tonight - we look really sluggish.

Brown and McKain have been bloody quiet and have to stamp some authority in midfield and not get blown off the ball as often. Paston's been impressive despite the two goals, kept out plenty more and seems more certain coming to the ball than he has been.

Can we stop with the over reactions and keep a little perspective "arsenal in disguise" and "noose" are just plain stoopid.
We are 2 goals down to the top of the table team unbeaten at home. Not surprised but not slitting my wrists over it. They are doing to us what we did to Melbourne - swarm the man with the ball and quickly. We are flat footed but certainly not out of this game.
I would think that if Durante doesn't pick up the slack (as I think he is the one not really helping the situation) then swap him for Dodd.
Show some faith and composure......

Is Dodd on the bench?
All of the criticism has been fair.

Adelaide have been destroying us down the wings, not through the middle. Muscat and Lochy have been found out defensively.

To be fair Adelaide are completely outplaying us in every respect. Vidmar's got a game plan and it's destroying us.

I agree, took us ages to work out Lochy was on the field as he has been so out of the frame.
