RED ALL OVER | City Too Good
Adelaide United are the current champions apparently, looks like the lads didn’t get the memo as the mighty RED’s get rolled for the third week in a row. This time we have fallen short to Tim Cahill’s Melbourne City 2 goals to 1 which leaves UNITED on just one point from four rounds of football. Champions more like cellar dwellers.
A game again started poorly by United as City took a deserved lead through the best player in the league Bruno Fornaroli after just eleven minutes. What a class strike by City’s Captain as he put the ball up where the spiders live, leaving Eugene in goals with no hope.
One nil at the break and United clearly didn’t learn from conceding a early goal in the first half as just ten minutes into the second half that man again Bruno Fornaroli doubled City’s lead converting from the spot kick after Guardiola Uniteds striker thought he would be United’s keeper.
To the RED’s credit we kicked into gear after that and the lads started to string some quality passes and began to entertain the decent RED army supporters in Melbourne. Guardiola was good value on 64 minutes when he opened up his account for the season with a tidy header from a delightful cross by Ben Garuccio. 2-1 now and United began to send a few nerves amongst the 10,000 inside the stadium (Editors note – What about the other fifty-three mate).
Although the RED’s did dominate the last twenty minutes and pushed hard for a equaliser , it was not to be and CITY held on for a good solid home win to keep them; Top of the Pops.
Pleasing signs for RED’s fans is that UNITED is starting to play the way Barcelona legend AMOR wants them too and one cannot hope or think that the first win is just around the corner. Lots of young talent too looks to be the theme early on this season as good quality talent like Danny Choi, Riley McGree Marc Marino and Ryan Kitto are all being given a chance to shine. Which as a RED’s fan is great to see!
Future looks bright, even if the season has started a little dark.
So we turn to next Sunday and a must win against the Central Coast Mariners at home. Three points will need to be on the menu as RED’s fans are getting hungry for positive results and sick of the cold dishes being served up. We need a warm feed of points, wins and stylish football that we all got use to dining out on last season.
