We Are The Reds

Good morning Adelaide!

Match Day!

Another tough game.


Come On United!!!

I don't know why, but I'm actually feeling quite positive about this one. We tend to drop matches that we should win easily - witness the Meow a couple of weeks ago - and then surprise everyone with strong performances against teams that should win comfortably. We should have beaten them a couple of months ago, when they fluked a 0 -1 at Hindmarsh.

If we can pull off a win tonight, then we are officially contenders; even a narrow loss would not be the end of the world, considering that Sadney is at full strength and we are nowhere near it.

Can you imagine how angry Arnie would be if they lose tonight? People would pay good money to see that alone.

Would take a draw now.

But yes RedTide I share your optimism. We are a hard team to beat. If we can put one in the back of the net I think our defence is good enough to keep SFC out.

Loukas Founten on twitter: More
Regan, Kitto and Diawara out for Adelaide United today. Youth team players Louis D’ARRIGO, Kristin KONSTANDOPOULOS and Pacifique NIYONGABIRE named in 18-man squad #ADLvSYD#ALeague massive blow for Reds.

What position does D'Arrigo play? Konstandopolous and Niyongabire are wingers right?

Pacifique! Elvis Kamsoba's younger brother. Hope he plays.

Yikes.

I guess we can expect to see:

Margush
Marrone-Elsey-Gulum-Strain
OD-Isa-Adlung
Mile-Stama-Johan

Bench:
Ochieng
Brook
Youth

Youth GK

Why replace Matmour when you can get more youth on the bench.

Sounds like a couple of lads in line to make their A-League debut .. against the runaway league leaders & raining champions. Right in at the the deep end! I like it.

I think we can fill the team and bench without going to "Youth"players .... just.
The team as above, but Ochieng on the wing, Mile at the point and Stama on the bench.

That leaves a bench of: Richards (18-GK), Warland (21), Brook (16), K.Konsta (19), Stama (18).
That would have to be the youngest bench I've ever seen. I hate to think of their combined number of first team games.
I shudder to compare it to Sydney's bench.

Val just tweeted the team.

Decent mid and defence but Mile is all of a sudden our most experienced forward

Very light-on on the bench.

Baba out for at least 8 weeks. Fark. Zappers said we will be active in the transfer market.

Also Sydney are missing Zullo and Carney comes in for them.

Good lord look at that team lol.

Time to go Baba RIGHT NOW!
