Mariners V Roar

[Josho Howe]

Bogey team. Need to fix this bloody hell

 

[LFCMariners]

You'd hope that even with the line-up minus him playing they should be able to get the W tonight, but it feels like just our luck to not have his services on a night where a win is crucial in the Premiership race...

That has more to do with the old Roar teams being genuinely good (and CCM being shit the last few years and struggling to beat most sides) than anything else. My prediction of 1-1 tonight is more to do with recent form than any "curse".

It must only count for official HAL matches, because I seem to recall CCM knocked that lot out of the FFA Cup in Redcliffe just last season...

Moon has done his homework and we look tired.

SFC got an early goal against the Vuc last night and then that was it.

It may be that Saturday's game and the short turnaround has taken a toll on both teams...

DDS playing a funny role so far tonight. Not a lot of go forward. Seems like niz is trying to play that role

Bogey team. Need to fix this bloody hell

I wish I hadn’t read that, nothing going right tonight so maybe another unwanted record coming our way. Without Kuol I don’t see us worrying them in the second half.

 

[true believer]

Their playing 5 at the back.
Red hot on the pen . No one wanted to talk to boza . At halftime .
Lift boyz you can do it

 

[Michael]

Short turn around seemed a legit excuse but then a call goes against and they wake up?
This is on us
Rightfully got at them for the last 10 need to keep that up and they’ll get the goals

 

[LFCMariners]

Not the first time CCM have been down a goal at home with the game to chase this season. Just need to keep at them.

 

[Melange]

Is VAR still for clear and obvious error?

 

[scottmac]

We're getting shots on goal. Bloody niz missed by a whisker. It's got to be Urena, Simon or DDS. Passing decisions need to tighten up and we need to be faster with the ball. Niz, Stens and Ollie have been guilty of keeping the ball for too long

 

[LFCMariners]

So-

CCM played a tough game against SFC on Saturday night and both sides played/ are playing their following games with a short turnaround and looking underdone.

The Roar were SUPPOSED to be playing the Glory but that match got postponed because there just happened to be a last minute lockdown over the weekend. Resting Brisbane up and leaving them fresh for tonights' game. A game that a player CCM could really use to grab the important goals just so happened to fall ill for-

Illuminati confirmed...

 

[scottmac]

Midfield is absolute shite. They are walking through us. And now a red. It was a great ride while it lasted but this display has put an end to it and all it took was Brisbane. Go figure

Got the Melbourne team that isn't City next, then the return leg against the Roar with (hopefully) Kuol back at a venue where the record against Brissy is decent.

*EDIT*

Forgot it's being played at Redcliffe and not Suncorp

Either way, not time to write the season off yet...

In the first 7 games opposing teams didn’t get a chance to move the ball easily into our midfield with Simon + a younger chaser.

I feel next week with Urena out we might have a chance to test the theory of a younger frontline with more pressure that may suit the 4-4-2 better.

Is it coincidence our wins slowed when Urena started impressing.

Yes some good goals and assists from him but maybe letting opposition backline move the ball into our midfield puts a lot more pressure and effort on our kids making them more tired for when we do have the ball.

Goals and opportunities stopped flowing for DDS and subs and shifted to the Urena / Simon dynamic but is a more stale flow from mid to forwards relying on flicks, chips and tight passing rather than flowing counter attacks which serves us so well.

Next 2 weeks May give that forward opportunity to try something, like last weeks opportunity to try something at the back.
