@GRL_Bets @LachieAvil Haha yeah pretty sure I went and checked and corrected myself on the pod. Can't believe I forgot Arnie 😅

Hey Cor, don't buy a football club if you don't want to spend some fucking money.

Sick of this shit every season. I thought the club was profitable? I thought we had money after all those transfers? Or were you lying? So much for transparency...

Fucking disgusting.

Cost-cutting measures from the Adelaide United owner have seen the club cut backroom staff and completely overhaul its women's program | @AdelaideUnited @10SportAU @LucasRinaldo_

WE’RE COMING HOME AGAINNN

[Jacob Stevens @jacobstevens__]

@aus_tactics You'd have thought after the fourth Burkitt offside or the fifth ball straight to the keeper that they'd have changed tactics.

Just looked like they had no ideas after Anselmo went off. Lacking that physicality up front killed any momentum Adelaide had.

[Jacob Stevens @jacobstevens__]

The most insipid, uninspired, spineless, dire, unambitious finals football I've seen in a while.

All this talk about "biggest game in 10 years" and then roll over and let Auckland walk all over you.

And don't let that penalty take away from what was 90 minutes of pure rubbish.

Watch this on repeat to get through the rest of your work day 🔁

This is why Dukuly has frustrated me so much this season. He is capable of this, but so frequently overdoes it in the final third.

Glad to see him come good when it's needed most.

[Adelaide United @AdelaideUnited]

Harry with some magic 🪄

[Jacob Stevens @jacobstevens__]

Dukuly at left back didn't work 2 weeks ago against City, so midway through the 1st, Airton switched things around.

Getting burnt down that side again and no adjustments yet. Hopefully something that's addressed at half time.

[Adelaide United @AdelaideUnited]

HT | We head into the break 1-0 behind in Auckland.

#AKLvADL | ⚔️1-0❤️

[Adelaide United @AdelaideUnited]

Auckland: we are in you.

[Round Ball Australia @RoundBallAus]

Airton Andrioli has turned @AdelaideUnited into a Championship contender in his first year in charge.

As @Pagonis98 explains, it's been a combination of resilience, a more complete game plan, overcoming injuries, and trusting the youth.

What was the best day of your life and why was it this ⬇️

[Jacob Stevens @jacobstevens__]

@AUFCFV Yeah definitely lots of that sentiment floating around. Just absurd the APL decided we needed reserved seating in GA stands when that has only ever caused problems in the past.

Imagine the mess if we get Victory, too...

[Jacob Stevens @jacobstevens__]

APL things.

No member same-seats, whole stadium reserved seating (even the terracing?), changing the way things have been done at Hindmarsh for decades just because they can.

It's going to be chaos on gameday. Good luck to whoever has to try and enforce this nonsense.

@aus_tactics Not that I've heard. Probably a balance thing - with only 2 recognised defenders, get Duzel in to shore up the midfield a bit maybe?

[Jacob Stevens @jacobstevens__]

Candidate for strangest lineup of the season. Interested to see how this looks because it makes no sense on paper.

[Adelaide United @AdelaideUnited]

Your Starting XI to face Melbourne City 💪

🇧🇷 Anselmo starts
⚡️Harry Crawford with his first start of the season
🥹 Craig Goodwin returns from injury through the bench

[Jacob Stevens @jacobstevens__]

@AJXBEIWUSBDJSJ Yeah, still weird. Got a left back literally on the bench.

[Jacob Stevens @jacobstevens__]

I have never said a bad thing about this signing in my life...

[Adelaide United @AdelaideUnited]

He’s only gone and done it again 😍

#ADLvMAC | ❤️ 3-1 🐮

[Jacob Stevens @jacobstevens__]

@AllanRileyy Same old mentality of folding under the slightest pressure. Good crowd, game with importance to our finishing position, expectations of a result. Fall flat on our faces.

[Jacob Stevens @jacobstevens__]

Adelaide today are failing to perform on all fronts so far. Wasteful passing, no edge in the final third, passive defending and low workrate. They do realise 2nd is theoretically up for grabs, right?
