Admittedly I only watched the game in tv so cannot accurately gauge the effect of the weather on the game but I am hugely disappointed in that performance. We simply cannot do the basics of dribbling and passing well, even some of our throw ins went straight to the opposition. Actually think that game was one where Smeltz would have made a difference

I agree with dribbling and passing. Countless really simple passes went straight to the opposition. It's a shame and beyond me. A-Rod the only midfielder who can pass the ball hard and to the feet to another player.

Agreed, but it's not just the passer's fault. Our midfield was ridiculously static when we had the ball and because our forwards were staying up the pitch for through balls we just often had no one to pass to in the middle of the park. And when we did have a pass open our guys wouldn't come to meet the ball, they just stood there and let Adelaide get in front of them and intercept.
