    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

DWH is out there in his kit as the 19th man so there is still hope for him if someone goes down in the warm up. But Jacko is basically just trolling him now by keep naming him in the squad.

I think you go 1 of 2 ways with this Leipzig press. They like to get the ball back as close to the attacking box as possible leaving no defender in their half.

You either go hoofball and load up a striker and winger on the ball side and try to pinch one over the top.
Or you just congest the f**k out of game and make it a scrap to even move the ball when we lose it. Bit of a rugby game with a rolling maul.

Ultimately it'll be both at times
Silly question perhaps, but, were the conditions soggy when they beat us with this press the last times? If not wouldn't maintaining high pressing in the wet be harder this time around [ie you tire faster and its easier to lose traction when changing speed and direction]?
