ADELAIDE United stopper Jon McKain has revealed the Reds are prepared to go down with the ship if it means sticking to manager Josep Gombau's tiki-taka vision.
McKain said under pressure Gombau had the full backing of players 'to a T' despite a poor start to the season with two wins in 10 rounds.
"The way we are going to play this year is exciting, entertaining," said McKain ahead of Sunday's away clash with seventh-ranked Perth Glory.
"It is an attacking brand of football. When we have got the ball we are stretched and wide and when we do make mistakes, we can be caught out a little bit.
"There has been a lot of talk about pressures. We have played ok in patches but just not getting results."
Gombau has cracked under media scrutiny twice this season but McKain explained the Spaniard was safeguarding a squad still grappling with his possession focused style.

"He is a great person first and foremost and a fantastic coach. When you have someone around you that really protects you and you feel like you want play for them it is the ultimate combination," said McKain with Adelaide recording a crucial 4-0 win against Central Coast last round.
"You can see from the first goal how we went to him on the weekend how much he means to us, how important he is to the club, the fans respect him."
However the fans on the terraces will become restless without proof of consistency and structural surety. Former Reds coach John Kosmina notes winning is everything in the A-League but McKain is torn between two aims.
"It is a difficult one,' said McKain when asked whether style or results took precedence at Coopers Stadium.
"You want to play a certain way but it's human nature, you want to win as well. They are linked to a degree."

McKain had planned on the eighth-placed Reds capitalising on the infighting between skipper Jacob Burns and coach Alistair Edwards until the latter's departure on Tuesday.
The selection of Edwards' sons Ryan and Cameron ahead of senior players, including Burns, in Friday's 2-0 loss to Melbourne Victory ultimately led to the departure of the coach.
Former Barnsley skipper Burns remains a fierce foe on-field but McKain respects the fellow international.
"Burnsy is a tough guy to play against, I have had run ins with him but he is a player you want on your team," he said.
Adelaide hasn't won in five trips to Perth and their task will be complicated with winger Fabio Ferreira facing two weeks on the sidelines with an adductor strain.
