ACL Elite vs Shanghai Shenhua

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

That's a bit harsh mate, we've had some shots on target and edmo's header could have gone in. This is a much improved performance for mine.

Possibly our best half of the season so far?

Steely slowly improving with game time but we desperately need him to be more positive on the ball. It's a problem with the whole team at the moment but he exemplifies it. Far too often only Mauragis and Sasha seem interested in going forward.

Thought Paull has been decent, maybe finally starting to settle into professional football.

Overall a good first half performance and we're very unlucky not to be leading.

Haven’t read other comments but liking Diesel., Steele looks lost.

Just me?

Steele needs some game time to get his mojo back, I agree he's struggling but his passing accuracy has improved this game and he's going forward a bit more.

The game is there for us, another Chinese team and another shit as f**k defence begging for one of our blokes to take advantage. We need Alfie or Steely to arrive late in the box for scraps, a few times it was ripe for one of them but they were too deep.
Diesel’s been very solid and composed, looking the goods early. Alfie’s been good. Can’t really fault any of the boys. Just put the f**king ball in the f**king net, please. I’m backing our defence to keep the clean sheet tonight.

I'm liking DPC

Same, there looks like there is a great keeper in there, just needs time at senior level.

Still won't pass to the right. Always coming back to the left side. Needs to work on that to become a solid contributor.

 

[true believer]

Diesel looking good .excellent box defender .
Aflie has shown some quality .

We should be up 2 nil .

Come on you yellows

Decent first half and far better than expectations. Could have easily scored one of those headers with a little luck and they haven’t given us any real trouble. Let’s hope they don’t find some hunger at half time.

I remember a game where both Kaltak and Hally scored last season that kick-started our goal scoring.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Feijao is showing signs he's going to be a very important player for us if he can be molded.

I'm hopeful, I can see why he has been brought in but I don't think he has earned a start. He could be awesome. He could also be a flop. Both are definitely possible. I'm optimistic, but he should have learned to play better with us by now rather than these blind passes expecting somebody to be there.

maybe the first win of the season

Not really any place for a one footed player these days. You make exception for an outstanding striker like Dingo but even he could pass with the alt foot.

We need our midfield to start creating a attacking threat. They are improving but not team will fear a shot from our midfield at the moment. Face forward and start to take some shots. It will make the defenders start to worry about them and take pressure of the other attackers.

 

[Michael]

Steely slowly improving with game time but we desperately need him to be more positive on the ball.

To be fair, steely does look forward as a first option more often than not but it’s a flaw in this current set up, 5-2-3, he really only has Ed, Feijao and Doka as a first forward ball when we win it back deep. If they’re not open I don’t mind if he just keeps it. But I do agree he does need to be more positive overall.

Their keeper looks dodgy as well, pepper him and follow up for spills. Almost like we need a 60-70 min Kuol 😉

Premium-98?

How are we relying on our CB’s to score? Because they’ve gotten on the end of a couple set pieces? Purely coincidental. Cmon now
