Mariners Squad 2024/2025 ALM and ACL Elite

[Big Al]

Can we sign Cole Palmer of Chelsea as a Number 10 please. Get the NSW Govt to sponsor his wages and we get to win the Asian Cup Elite.

He only plays good for half a game. Didn’t score a single goal in the second half. Clock off merchant.

Watched the boys at training last week in wet conditions.

Some of them were very sharp.

I'm expecting a lively performance from us but this Thai side will be a handful.

This excites me, wombat, obviously they’re going to be fitter than the first acl game. We played some beautiful footy for 50minutes of that match amongst the lack of full fitness and rust issues. You’re right, this Thai team ain’t easy. Personally, I’m quite confident though. I’m expecting the lads to be assertive and on the front foot like they were in MD 1, but for the full 90 this time round.

Well that aged well huh?

First 15 Mins was good. After that we got outclassed by a slick side.

Some starting players didn't contribute much.

You underestimate Buriram Utd at your own peril.

Yep, and we haven't seen anything close to what will be our starting 11 yet either

I certainly didn’t after watching their game against Vissel Kobe but perhaps the team did tonight?

I can take being beaten by a better side but the two goals we conceded were very avoidable and we carried too little threat all night.

I really don’t rate McAlmont yet and would rather see Steele alongside Tapp to give a firmer midfield base, with Alfie perhaps playing the Niz role to see how he goes there?

Agreed, yet to see anything of quality from McAlmont either.
