Daniel Adlung – 6

He’s mobile and gets around like he’s providing something, but he’s sloppy from crosses and takes set pieces like the modern Cristiano Ronaldo – nice run up, but no accuracy.

Nathan Konstandopoulos – 6

Silky on the ball but made some naive errors. Got an unfair reaction from the crowd upon his withdrawal.           

Karim Matmour – 6.5

All of Adelaide’s attackers get a 9 for effort and a 3 for composure. Matmour’s very comfortable on the ball and occasionally produces a bit of magic, but for someone with 30 caps for Algeria, he leaves you feeling disappointed.

Nikola Mileusnic – 6

Adelaide fans should be furious with him. For everything he did right, to loosely stab wide when your teams 2-0 down with 35 minutes to go is a coach killer. Apart from that a decent performance, but seriously…

George Blackwood – 5

He seriously needs a goal. Nowhere near involved enough for a player with his supposed potential, and doesn’t seem strong enough to contend with A-League defenders. Weak in the air, and Adelaide’s style seems entirely based around Diawara’s aerial ability.

Jordan O’Doherty – N/A

Could have scored late and looks promising, but not on for long enough to deserve a proper rating.

Ryan Kitto – N/A

Not on long enough to deserve a proper rating.

Apostolos Stamatelopoulos - N/A

Not on long enough to deserve a proper rating.
