ROUND 25 A-LEAGUE DISCUSSION THREAD

[SloaneysDanger]

Well top spot is gone. Once again we fail to take advantage of a good opportunity. We don't want to finish top obviously. Just pathetic. We are so inconsistent it's ridiculous.

 

[giggler99]

rofl Galekovic, what an own goal! to kick it behind you then punch it through for an own goal, never seen anything like it!

 

[hey shorty]

You know its not your day when Eugene does that........

 

[SloaneysDanger]

It's like Adelaide enjoy ******* with it's fans heads. One week look like a top team, the next look like a bottom two team. Sums up Adelaide perfectly.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Ffs. If we have to play this mob in the first week of the finals, the game should be at Suncorp regardless of if we finish higher. We are f***ing dead-set useless at home against the raw...

 

[giggler99]

Looks like Adelaide have the choke just like Victory

Roar!!

 

[SloaneysDanger]

I've watched about 10 minutes of the game and happy I decided to watch mostly the Crows game. Won't even comment on anything but I'm not surprised this has happened. We've been mentally weak for years and nothing ever changes. Plain and simple we haven't been the best club this season and clearly don't deserve to finish top. Aim now is second but now that looks gone too.

We went from possibly going 2 points clear today from probably missing the top 2. Same old same old Adelaide, failing when it matters. Too many flogs who can't think straight when the big time comes around.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Just what we need, a defender sent off from a offside missed

 

[Greasyrhys]

I've bloody had it with our club, mentality is still extremely weak as. I've given up on us finishing in the top 2...

 

[hey shorty]

Its nothing to do with mental aspect of it, other teams have worked us out and we are out of touch. We are a one man band, when Chelo is missing and Euge has a bad night, we lose.

 

[rodney86]

No one really wants to finish top do they?

 

[youngbear]

Top of the table needs this attached:

its hilarious.

 

[Greasyrhys]

The top two is set, as both top two sides are still to play two matches away from home, & both are undefeated away from home...

Can't agree. We've been mentally weak for years. Have we improved? Sure. We're still mentally weak though. It runs through the club for some reason, and has so for too long.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Also, hope we finish 4th if we don't finish top two. Want to avoid Brisbane at all costs. We are absolute tripe against them in recent years. Would rather face City at home for sure over them.

Rubbish.

Different players, different coaches and different style. We are missing our best player who controls so much of what we do, thats bad in itself but reality is we are 1 point from top and we just played a side who has our measure. Were we mentally weak when Bling battered us last week and still won ??

 

[26_Miles]

Burns with a horrible penalty. Probably should have had a goal anyway city, started well.

Mate, every Reds fan knows Eugene is the only reason we won last week. Sydney had chance after chance after chance, which shows how s**t we were. Carrusca or no Carrusca last week, I don't see how the scoreline would have changed, considering Eugene's efforts have no impact on who is or isn't playing in-front of him.

I said we had improved. There's been a few games this season where we have shown strength in terms of dragging ourselves over the line in games we probably shouldn't have won. The Brisbane game yesterday was the complete opposite. Bad recent record against them and we buckled at the knees. Carrusca doesn't make up for a 0-3 score-line. Besides, the bloke is injured half the time.

 

[hey shorty]

Oh for sure but I still don't think we are mentally weak. We will still be around when the whips are cracking. The entire top 4 have struggled at times in recent weeks with really only Brisbane flying.

 

[Greasyrhys]

We only seem to be tripe against them at Hindmarsh. If we do finish 3rd & Brisbane finish 6th, then we should have the game at Adelaide Oval or even Suncorp?

 

[hey shorty]

Under no circumstance should we be playing a home final at AO

 

[Greasyrhys]

Well the 'Nix have blown a chance for top spot as well...

 

[Greasyrhys]

Well true, but a Grand Final on the other hand...
