Reich manager Michael Pine said: "Maccabi are a very good team, mixing youth and pace with a few old heads."
Pine is refusing to hit the panic button after the heavy defeat, and said: "We had a strong start to the season, but have lost our way a bit in the last two games and we need to rediscover our early season form.
"We have a strong squad so I have no doubt in the ability of the squad and them gelling as group."
Indeed Reich Insurance will be looking to get back to winning ways when they play Heaton Park this weekend.
