FFA Cup 2019

[Forum Phoenix]

Pitch is immaculate. Food options are better than CC Stadium.

Nice. Not saying much though is it. Stadium food in general is a disgrace in Oz and CC stadium is poor.

Attack is looking dangerous at all times. Silvera and de Silva running at players.
Wee Mac looking a couple of years younger and all are working well with Clisby getting forward and going well.
Simon directing from the centre but looking old.
Oar and Ziggy still feeling their way in.
Melling giving the ball away or selling dumps, not impressed.
Tongyik brings the ball out well but defence looks as though it could get caught out, however coping ok with only one DM.
Pearce has done nothing wrong.
Gallifuoco will be a massive loss. Looks like a groin.

Very happy with what I'm seeing given we replace our striker and have the Seoul brothers to come in. We need another CB still.

Silvera, DDS, Weemac have all been very good. Weemac looked great in pre season last year, this time I hope his form continues beyond NPL level. Matty does not look HAL level anymore.

I’d honestly drag matty at half time, he’s offered nothing. His header wasn’t ment for wee mac, more lucky than anything.
Wee mac was okay other than his 2 goals. Part timers make him look a lot better though.
Clisby has been solid and composed too. But his crossing is still wildly inconsistent. Needs to work more on them.
Oar got better as the half went on.
Nizzy will help us control everything as he’s superior to Melling on the ball.
We need Murray on though as a better option.
DDS stand out so far.

GG loss is massive, he was the main ball player out of the defense. We look good with all the play in midfield silvera is a breath of fresh air and his link up play with DDS is a joy to be hold

Yeah I was already hoping that was the plan with Murray. 45 mins each.

Having a chat to Lindsay, a mad Mariners fan who came up from Goulburn for the game.Now that’s a true fan

Silvera just put the ball on a golden plated platter for matty who’s FREE header went wide.

 

[style_cafe]

48 gone Simon misses a simple chance when he heads wide

 

[style_cafe]

54 gone Ziggy heads over the bar fro a corner

 

[shipwreck]

Simon...... Wtf

 

[style_cafe]

57 gone Simon turns the defender but shoots wide from 30m in what can only be described as a soft shot

 

[style_cafe]

DDS really looks like he’s enjoying football again whilst Nesbit is bossing from Dm

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

we're attacking well.....but we're really showing that lacking a real striker will punish us. Although it's preseason....so hopefully we can figure out how to get each of our attackers to reliable score a few through the season and make up for the striker that way.
Simon will be disappointed with himself.....I can see him being a bench player again.

 

[style_cafe]

69 gone Murray on for Oar who put in a very decent shift

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

That was filthy

 

[Ozhammer]

Nizzy has looked very assured since coming in and his ball security is light years ahead of Melling for mine.

 

[style_cafe]

74 gone Nesbit on fire st the front, crosses to Simon who heads wide with a open goal and no defender on him. We badly need a decent striker

 

[Holy]

Another free header miss by Simon...

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Nizzy has looked very assured since coming in and his ball security is light years ahead of Melling for mine.

yeah, I'm hoping Staj might be able to help Nizzy really grow, given MM didn't really seem interested in him.

Matty Simon....what's going on?

It might just be that Maitland have given up already, but I think we seem fitter. although here comes the first cramp....
