We Are The Reds

Maria keeps getting caught out.

That’s what happens when you sign an attacking midfielder to play in defence.

I think it may be time for the coach to go.

There are teams with worse players in this league who don't lose by this much, at home no less.

Yep, look at Brisbane.

Their squad is genuinely terrible on paper but they can grind out results as Fowler can organise a defence.

Maria is not playing as bad as is made out. He's playing exactly to instruction, they're just terrible instructions

I feel really sorry for him. Being played out of his preferred position and following the coaches instructions which clearly aren’t working and as a result he looks out of confidence and the crowd has turned on him.

Bit rough cheering him off. Toure on 70mins

Game over.

That was hard.

looked a penalty on toure there? shirt pulled as he shot and pulled him off balance....or because we already lost they let that stuff go?

I liked our attacking intent early in the year, even midway through.

Now we just give up defending entirely, and because we have no defensive depth these guys are spent. Maria isn't as bad as he looks, nor is Jako.

D'Arrigo needs a rest, if Verbeek doesn't rate Boland he should have flicked him in the transfer window.

Needs a dramatic turnaround to keep his job.
