Mariners vs Vissel Kobe 26 Nov ACL Elite

[Spacks]

Imagine Brian as a midfielder

Oh my god

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

That's why Paull is on, to cover Mauragis.

Their movement off the ball is incredible.

And their pressing is solid.

I like their willingness to play those little passes in between the lines and bounce back out.

Wish we did that.

 

[Spacks]

Oh shit, no foul for a change? Lets go boys! We got a decent ref for a change!

 

[Corsair]

Vitor's touch is absolutely putrid. Those sort of breaks are gonna be our only points of attack tonight and he's f**ked it up twice now.

Cue beautiful Brazilian link play lol

if Vitor ever scores I'm hoping for a Doka-esque improvement in quality of player.

 

[shipwreck]

Classy set piece.

 

[Spacks]

Mauragis with another lapse in defensive positioning.

FFS

FFS

? I expected to be down 2-0 by now.

I think we're doing well.

 

[shipwreck]

This is a high level training run for us. Chance to work on formation, fitness and get experience into young players.

 

[Spacks]

Edmo giving Mauragis a spray for skying his shot xD

Alfie and Steele desperately need to learn their role. Put Balard and Nizzy on repeat.
They exclusively pass backwards and put Paull, Kaltak and Storm under immense pressure.

They are supposed to be our central outlets but are more interested in avoiding mistakes than moving us forward.

 

[Ads]

Shame, we really weathered the storm and worked our way back in.

If we only made it to half time the boys might have been pretty pumped that they could snag one.

Hopefully the young fellas come on and score some screamers

Mauragis with another lapse in defensive positioning.

Kaltak was the last man. He holds the line and the lad is offside.

 

[Tevor]

That’s another double header we have conceded in an ACL match, unbelievable but we shouldn’t have kept the scorer on side. Set pieces killing us in the ACL.

Some players looking like they are just on a holiday in Japan, seems we have given up on the ACL.

That drop of the shoulder and turn Steeley did opened up so much room for him earlier, he needs to be doing that more often.

Not sure what you are watching. Our best attacks have come from intelligent balls forward from Steele, though I do agree he is still turning back too much.

Perhaps instructions from Jacko to be cautious in the first half.

Macy was a master at this.
