Mariners v Jets

[midfielder]

thank god Melling was replaced

 

[true believer]

Melling had to go
Lucky nil all

 

[jacobsfl]

I can almost excuse Melling cause his poor passes are longer with little options.

Sam Silvera however in the last 3 games has lost possession easily or failed to perform short passes over 50 times!

Yet runs past one player once a game and seems not to be called out for every single other loss of ball.

Are commentators instructed to now go easy on younger up and coming players so they are not shown in a poor light and don’t discourage viewership that the league is so terribly poor in quality.

This is the A-League. They'll hype any young talent they can.

I can almost excuse him as he's had so much time off the field......

The worst I’ve seen us play and not concede since 2005.

 

[Stoxxo]

Honestly think we would struggle against NPL2 teams, horrendous

 

[ashman89]

What the f**k is this shit? No passion. No heart. Absolutely f**king disgraceful

 

[marinermick]

The passing has been horrendous

When you have Melling and Stensness as your holding mids it will always be poor. Improved in the five minutes Nisbet cane on.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Hopefully that is the last we see of Melling.
No matter how keen, committed or tough he is, he is simply no where near good enough.
Too many players who are unable to pass a football, too many players unable to control or keep a football.
Nowhere near professional standard at any level.

Is no one keeping stats on individuals?
Someone in the Club needs to watch the movie "Moneyball" and then recruit.

Were you expecting something different?

 

[Cricko_086]

I hate that every time someone losses the ball they stand there and complain instead of trying to win it back.. but that’s been the way for the last few years hey.

 

[booney]

We are under the pump and hopefully can improve in the second half with holding the ball and improving our substandard passing.Silvera showing some nice touches.

 

[midfielder]

We gonna win this ... the kids will win it for us...

 

[jacobsfl]

Is that Sean Dyche in their dugout?

 

[midfielder]

clean sheet

 

[jacobsfl]

The worst game I've ever seen. Uncontested.

 

[Cricko_086]

So no finals for scumville?

 

[style_cafe]

Were you expecting something different?

the second half they showed some heart...

 

[jacobsfl]

So no finals for scumville?

Apparently not mathematically impossible but it's highly unlikely

 

[jacobsfl]

If I had my time back I would've found more enjoyment in watching the paint dry.

Watch the Kuol interview after the game...what a character. Brilliant personality
