We Are The Reds

AU has created a bit of an issue for themselves withdrawing Tatu from the Asian Cup qualifiers taking place in just over a week. I'm not sure what the reason is the club has asked to have him excluded. If it was down to recovery time from the trip to The Netherlands, then its odd that Kasumovic ...

…. we were not good enough last season …

For me personally, never felt less connected to my club than now- the peoples club LOL, wont be long until they open trials for fans to get a place on the squad


Hi Claw,
I agree with most of what you said, but have to pull you up in one thing …
Last ...

And I agree that it was poor form to boo Mauk. Life long AUFC supporter, former captain, 100+ games, always gave 110%, and played good football. And if he ever came back to the A-league I bet he’d let AUFC know and give us a shot at signing him (if we could afford him). Chapeau to him tonight for ...

I wonder if there is a way to blend the Championship and AL in the future?


Yes, though it may come down to money. Not so much the amount of money in the game, but more the minimum level of organisational and infrastructure standards for competing in the A-League.


Considering how some AL ...

Oh … and Brazete looks VERY raw.

Disappointing.
Twice now that we’ve taken Goodwin off at the same time we put Anselmo on. It’s not rocket science. Start the big striker with the good crosser of the ball from deep. Then when the opposition are tiring bring on the quick striker and the quick winger who gets in behind.

We were ...

Well. No pre-match commentary. Nice one Football Australia.
Hopefully have some during the match.

Come In You Reds!!!!!
Wish I was there in person, but am one of the 231 people waiting on the Football Australia YouTube. (Starts in 5 minutes. Presumably 15 minutes of pre-match commentary.)

I’ll be watching from home with an interstate visitor who will be watching it with me whether they like it or not.

Our players looked like their only match preparation was a 45 minute half against one NPL team and a 60 minute half against another NPL team. We are completely undercooked.

No Adelaide player came out of that with any credit. Goody scored a good goal, but apart from that he was nowhere. Alagich and Duzel unable to control midfield (against an admittedly nearly A-League level opposition midfield). Yull anonymous.

Disappointing that we had no composure (at all) in those last 5 minutes. Deservedly dumped out of the Cup.

We’re a step too slow everywhere, which is both a physical and a mental slowness.

Talladira trying to play like Kitto, but without the decision making ability about when to push forward and when to stay back.

Well that’s been coming. Sm 2 AUFC 1.

4 against 4 in defence - with 3 players in the box when the cross came in.
