Elrich Goone? (Troisi edit), Edgar Davids anyone?

Lawie is a good manager and coach BUT his tactics are questionable to say the least.
Adrian is a player better  in the middle switch hutcho and him around or give some of the youth kids a go.
Adrian has the skills to be another nicky carle he may have played 4 the scum but he was the main player every team hated to play.
But its way to early in the season to start looking for another coach we are coming 4 not to bad.

adrian is not better in the middle

he played in the middle for melbourne in the asian champions leagues and was average

lol at thinking we should be looking for another coach

 

[Blair]

Pritty sure i said we shouldn't look for another coach.

yes, and that last line of mine was directed at the others calling for his head

LOL @ The tard being better in the middle. He's a dribbling winger and nothign more - his efforts in the middle at both his former clubs were LOL worthy

CCM would be best served with the tard on the left,and Porter in the middle with Jedinak.

Spot on Jazza. One of the reasons we got Caceras is because he wanted to play on the wing and that was what we needed.
I am still keeping an open mind on Porter as our attacking mid. He needs to improve his first touch. Mind you Hutchi's 1st touch tends to bring everything to a halt. It could be worth a try he is definitely an attacker.

WOW   a smirf said something good. But i would like to see adrian push in with a attacking spirt.

Serious' skills are so much better than Lawrie's that Lawrie is the Football manager for the Mariners whilst Serious is............. well.............not a manager of any A-League team.

Lawrie is awesome!!!

And therein lies the problem with some people....... is questioning/_constructive_ criticism the right and the duty of a football fan??  To sit there at face value and offer me "zomg, you're shit, Lawrie is awesome" is weak in the extreme and quite frankly, disappointing.  What's the point of having fans who are a pack of sycophantic yes men, just because he coaches your/our club??

 

[tyson]

regarding Corica. I think he is Sydney's best player. They can reel in as many big names as they want but I think you will find that Corica is the man stepping up and scoring the big goals and winning games.

I too would like to see Lawrie change a few things... substitutions, long balls (our passing game is ridiculously good when we use it). He just seems to do everything the same.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Agreed about Corica. If he gets injured, they are pretty well f**ked.

 

[uptheguts]

It was good to see Aloi$i last week add no value to the Sydney attack. What a waste for farkin money.

Lawrie.  Top top coach......

I'm really starting to worry.

Re: those 2 GF's we've been to - remind me how we did again in those??  How horridly we were out-coached, out-tacticised (is that even a word??), and generally outplayed (first half of the one against Sydney excepted).

Serious, I'm no yes man, I'm just averse to purile tripe when it concerns Lawrie.

FFS, your assertion that we were "horridly" outcoached, out-tactised and generally outplayed in the Jets GF is seriously misguided and totally unfair in my opinion. We were very unlucky not to win the GF so I can't see how we were supposedly outcoached, out-tactised or outplayed. The word "horridly" just doesnt figure in the equation at all and can only be construed as a blatant, biased, unenforcable attack on Lawrie. With your latest post, you're trying to veil your comments under some sort of "voice of reason" cloak, so I do wonder exactly what your agenda is here.

I have no problem with the constructive criticism in this thread, but IMO you most certainly crossed the line. So what if I responded in a similarly hysterical manner. Its hardly the basis for a pyschological analysis of the "pack" of fans on this forum. Very odd in the least ????

Bex, stop cocooning yourself in the whole bad luck thing. We were simply outplayed and out-coached in the GF and it is not wrong to admit it. We got rattled. You can't keep using it as a safety blanket, as the referee never won or lost the game for us. We had plenty of opportunities to score a goal but didn't take the chance. Newcastle had a handful at most and scored. You can't keep getting offended every time a fan isn't happy.

 

[Ted]

Newcastle scored due to Viddy having a monumental brain fart.

 

[Paolo]

Newcastle scored due to Viddy having a monumental brain fart.

Yes, but that doesnt change the fact that they were the far better team on the day

Got to love how we can say what we want and i have to agree we got farked up all over the park that gf.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Apart from the 1st GF from about 25 mins onwards, can you remember a worse performance from us??

I cant think of too many.
