ADELAIDE UNITED

Isaac Richards - 6

So-so performance, albeit one against a top-class striker in red hot form.

Ryan Strain - 6.5

He’s quite effective sitting centrally when Adelaide heap pressure, collecting and redistributing possession to maintain momentum. His vision is an underrated part of his game.

Michaël Maria - 5.5

The fact Verbeek was constantly yelling at his Dutch stalwart in Dutch tells the story. Although what story, we’re not entirely sure of either.

Michael Marrone - 5

Disappointing performance and a half-time substitution.

Michael Jakobsen - 7.5

Quite impressive despite the defeat. He’s one of the most consistent performers in the entire league, so when things go a little awry it’s little surprise that it’s not his fault.        

Louis D'Arrigo - 7 

Calm under pressure and always precise in his release, he’s clearly excelling in the role Verbeek has him in.

Nathan Konstandopoulos - 6.5

He tried to provide a spark in the second half but with little result.
