Mariners Squad 2023/2024

[Big Al]

You wouldn't really say that either of them are shining now....

I know we play a lot but Alou literally won us the Asian Cup a week a go

He scored the goal. He didn't win us the cup. Vuka's save was as much winning us the cup but he is doing that every game not just a one off.

Dude scored the winning goal, damn let him have it atleast, you can be critical of him as much as you want but you cant take away that he scored the winning goal

We weren’t discussing Vuka and i absolutely agree saving goals are as good as scoring them but Vuka can save 100 goals but if we don’t score any we don’t win.

Alou did win us the cup

I'm critical of his general play. He's hardly tearing it up.

Yes he scored the winning goal but it's not like he went on a massive dribble through 45 players messi style and was the only person who did anything. It's a team game and vuka won us the cup with the saves as much as alou did with the goal. And vuka IS doing that every game.

alou has got the job done and has been effective all year .
edo needs to work on his speed and timing
reec has pace but not much else
dwh lacks speed and doesn't suit jacko's style

 

[Corsair]

dwh lacks speed

Err no, actually he's the fastest player we've got.

 

[true believer]

Err no, actually he's the fastest player we've got.

i've never seen it.
do you have times to back this up ?

 

[priorpeter]

Alou’s been much maligned by many on here but I actually don’t think he’s been as bad as many seem to make out. His hold up play (as well as his aerial presence) has been sorely underrated by many.
Hard for any of our strikers to get into any sort of rhythm when they’re only playing 45 mins a game for the most part.

 

[Michael]

Brian would 100% be faster. Alou (despite being Bambi on ice) is quite fast too.
I remember DWH being pretty rapid but it’s been so long since we’ve seen him.

His whole situation is interesting, club will either have to pay him out or find some kind of transfer for him given he’s contracted for next season.

Forgot about Brian, yes he's faster..maybe stick him up top for a preseason game?!

Fifa ratings. There's not much between him and Alou but he is a bit faster. Brian is quite a bit ahead.

 

[Corsair]

Scored some good goals.

so you're talking about a game ? so the figures could be a guess from 6 or 7 years ago

I suspect part of him never getting a shot at redemption is 'encouraging' him to look for a move with a mutual release. With Auckland and potentially Canberra spinning up he may have some options. Brutal for him to play very little football these last two seasons.

Have a go at this instead then

Dylan Wenzel-Halls signs for the Mariners until 2025

The Central Coast Mariners are pleased to announce the signing of Dylan Wenzel-Halls, with the striker putting pen to paper on a deal until the end of the 2024/25 season. A fast and skilful attacking player with a sensational goal...

"A fast and skilful attacking player with a sensational goal scoring ability"

Or watch his acceleration in some of his goals, or keep thinking he's slow, i don't care!

I think that's the difference in opinions in this thread, and it's probably semantics, but not that bad is hardly shining.

Solid but uninspiring is how I usually describe him. He's doing a job but you always get the impression he is leaving a bit in the tank (especially in and around the 6 yard box).
