Not sure Kitto handballed it. It definitely hit his body first but it might have brushed the arm after that.

Round 9 is our lucky round! Here we come!

A win against a Wellington side that has many talented players playing well below their best.

Henrique the star.

Kitto worked extremely hard but perhaps still needs to do better with the ball. I think the goal should have stood because even if the ball brushed the arm there is absolutely no way it was deliberate.

Elrich was very good as well, he worked extremely hard.

Guardiola is changing the way he is playing, he is not turning into trouble as much and is looking to distribute more when he gets the ball. Still he is too slow with the ball at critical moments, moments when he might be able to score.

Garuccio did not get forward very much, certainly not as much as in other games.

Marino had the chance to score and probably should have, but the game really died after that and it is hard to judge him to much.

[ChillyPhilly]

Yesssssss. WE'RE BACK

Nice to finally get a win and on Amor's birthday too! Two fantastic goals by Henrique!

Shame Isaias is out next week, was a rather reckless and needless tackle by him.

3 pts is 3 pts!!

Hope we can build on it now. I thought we looked really good in the first half. Team gelled well in attack.

Great couple of goals by Henrique, something we have been missing so far.

[Old Gregg]

Silly from Isaias - and he was arguing the call with the ref afterwards. Don't know why, that was a clear-cut yellow.

One aspect of that game that might go under the radar thanks to the fish's heroics was Carrusca's workrate. He was everywhere, tackling as well as creating, trying to chase down long balls. Really good signs that he's back to 100%.

[Old Gregg]

Good to finally see Marino. Whether or not he has the quality to be a regular this season, he definitely had the enthusiasm - he was demanding the ball and trying to get involved as much as possible as soon as he came on.

Sergi really seems to be struggling with A-League defenses, he needs to get some confidence back. He's certainly not dominating like a guy with his pedigree should be.

Could have had a lot more goals against a very average team. The nucleus of a good Reds team is still there especially with our defence and the likes of Isa, Chelo and Henrique. But poor decision making and passing from Kitto, Guardiola and Holland stopped it from being the rout it should have been. Also, I thought the ref and linesman were well off the pace.
