Reds are great to watch. Got to laugh at Slater trying to make out that Adelaide is a counter attacking team.

Dunno what's he's smoking, they're quite obviously a possession-based team and you'd have to be blind not to see that.

 

Well he did say that they were playing on the counter in the second half, which was tell wrong. They got forced back a few times, thats it. He even claimed their second goal was from a counter attack initially IIRC. Counter attack is stuck in his head.

Seems pretty obvious that despite being a top player, Slater is not the sharpest knife in the kitchen.

 

That 2nd goal was a posession coaches dream.  Started from being played out from the keeper. 

 

 (ahem- proud to say I once coached some U9s who did that twice in a season- rubs knuckles on chest, drifts off into delusions of grandeur)

What this game shows is that young Australian managers are still not prepared when they get the big gig. Moss is doing far better than Aloisi, but his team still generally sits back and hits on the counter. It is like local managers have to get through 5-10 years playing on the counter before have the balls to go on the attack.

Big games today with regard to our finals hopes. Hoping for a scrappy draw in newcastle against SFC, Visitors to get smashed by adelaide in preparation for champions league and the derby  :D, and wanderers to beat perth convincingly to give us a chance to get off the bottom tomorrow  :D.
