Moments of madness from Andrew Redmayne, Patrick Kisnorbo sum up Melbourne Heart's malaise A Heart fan lets his feeling be known to Patrick Gerhardt. TWO weeks ago Patrick Kisnorbo said Melbourne Heart players had not done right by coach John Aloisi throughout the club's winless start to the season. His comments followed Heart's consecutive draws against Adelaide and Western Sydney and he went on to say that the team needed to "kick on from here for him." Unfortunately the defender lived by his words literally and in the process let down his former Socceroos teammate when he needed him more than ever before. The same could be said for Andrew Redmayne, whose botched clearance in the 38th minute gifted Melbourne Victory the opening goal of the night, although in defence of the goalkeeper he was put under the pump by a dodgy back pass by Patrick Gerhardt. But it was Kisnorbo who most hurt his team's chances in the 20th minute with an awful lunging tackle on Connor Pain that gave referee Ben Williams no choice but to brandish a straight red card. Patrick Kisnorbo's tackle was a disaster for the Heart. The defender can have no complaints about his sending off. Pain was in the midst of a threatening run towards the box and Kisnorbo lunged at him with his studs up and hit Pain flush on his right shin. It was one of those tackles where if Pain's knee were not bent or his heel had been dug in the turf upon Kisnorbo's impact it could have broken the kid's leg. Tempers flared and a push and shove ensued but the flashpoint had been coming as this match had an edge to it from the start. Heart's three highest foul counts of last season each came in derbies and so it was no surprise that Aloisi's men played on the edge as they harassed and harried their Victory opponents from the outset. The red and whites conceded nine fouls to three inside the first 20 minutes and had Victory under the pump. Kevin Muscat's men had little time and space to execute any attacking forays of note and Heart players appeared to be playing above themselves as they so often do against their cross-town rivals. The red card was the undoubted turning point in the derby. That is until Kisnorbo's brain explosion when Heart's best laid plans went out the window. You've got to feel sorry for Aloisi after a night like last night. Victory's second goal had an element of fortune about it in the sense that the scorer, James Troisi, was set to be substituted in the next break of play. Williams missed a handball in the penalty box by Pablo Contreras with about 25 minutes remaining, much to Aloisi's disgust, but by then the result was academic anyway. Heart's winless streak is now 16 and a certain portion of the blame for that statistic has to be lumped on the coach's shoulders. But if it were not for a couple of moments of madness from his players who knows how last night's game would have unfolded. Instead the team must back up on Friday night for a clash with fellow cellar dweller Wellington Phoenix in which failure to win for the 17th-straight time could be the final straw.
