Player movements 2013/2014

[Roy Law]

Where was Kwasaldinho??

 

[sydmariner]

Yes Sterj, just filling a role in the drill. But shows no extra goal keeper in the mix yet

was he any good

 

[scottmac]

Is it possible we might wind up going for a 'magic square' shape up top like Brazil did a few years back?

4-2-2-2:

Pasfield​

Sainsbury Seip Anderson Rose​

Monty Hutch​

McGlinchey Flores​

Duke Simon​

​

The top 4 are essentially free to float and cause maximum havoc. In defence you'd probably still set up with a 4-4-2, with all four front guys expected to ensure that there are at least two defending in the MF line and two in the FW line at all times.

What about 4-3-1-2, seems more "Arnie"

Pasfield​

Seip Sainsbury Anderson Rose​

McGlinchey Monty Hutch​

Flores​

Duke Simon​

​

Fullbacks bomb on & McGlinchey tucks in to play off Flores, or Duke & Simon push out wide Flores pushes up & McGlinchey tucks in.​

​

I think the greatest thing our list gives the team this year is freedom to McGlinchey. He was great last year, but he is my player to watch this year. He could play anywhere in this line up with any make of players around him & he will be able to float around fitting where ever the space is.​

I believe the whole set up this year is made for McGlinchey to f**king run riot.​

 

[scottmac]

Also in saying that & looking at the team list again, Roux & Morton will be pushing for that RB role & we are doing them a disservice by excluding them in every team sheet I've seen here.

gee you can just see the space . without the marking micky got last year.
dukies goal against the japs was just a taste of things to come.

I think that could well be our starting line up.

 

[Wombat]

Nope, I took it as a descriptive term, like blonde or tall, not a racial slur in any way.

Ange has had enough time now too to implement his 'way', MV are going to be very dangerous this year. Then I think of our front 4 - Duke, Simon, Flores & McGlinchey - cripes that's a scary quad to defend against. CCM are looking even better than last year.

Still wondering though whether Arnie will shift the structure to suit the players at the back, adapt the style or leave as is. Whilst not weaker per se the defense is not as versatile or agressive as in recent times with the changes in personnel

Pathetic.... that we have become so PC that we can't even speak normally anymore.

Anyway, some bloke from some team played quite well the other night.

Thank god I never slagged Bernie off!....and thank god some of the ordinary players we have had in the last 8 years were not black.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Political correctness isn't.

 

[dibo]

Let's not go right off the handle here. Geria is black, it was used as a descriptor rather than an epithet.

Saying there's no problem there is a long way from saying something like:

Political correctness isn't.

There is a line. It wasn't over it. Move along now.

May I suggest that if people want to continue on the debate, then start a new thread on the Other Stuff section. Now, back to more pertinent matters:

Marcel arrived today. initial indications from this video interview are all good. Seems to be a "Mariners" type of player. Love the Sheffield infused Dutch accent.

I thought Daryl Impey (Orica-Greenedge cyclist) had the most random, weird english accent but Seip takes the cake. About 4 accents in one.

Watched the Mainers train this morning for a half an hour or so. Phil Moss was in charge. Everyone was there bar, Sainsbury, Kwas, Duke & Seip. Simon looked very fit and energetic, Flores full of class. Mile was the second goal keeper.

Was that you sitting in your car when I pulled up in the white van?
I stayed a little longer & had a chat with Flores.He was very friendly & charismatic,a perfect fit for us.

 

[Atomic]

What times do the team train?

 

[krusty]

im going to upset some people i would start with Duke and Sterj up front then we have the golden boot winner to come in after 4 rounds. Matty might find it hard to get a start. A great headache for Arnie to have.

Yes that was me.

I was there about 11:30

 

[Bex]

I'm drooling over these formation options. Life's great as a Mariners fan

 

[style_cafe]

What times do the team train?

I got there around 12.30 & saw about 30 mins before they packed up.
I also watched Arnie being interview by NBN
He was saying they have a 4 game tournament in Indonesia during the pre-season,
I wonder if they`ll come back by boat to save a few dollars?

He was also impressed with Duke playing wide right for the Socceroos & indicated that that was where he intended to play him..

The plot thickens...

 

[Lowlander]

I didn't think hat Duke was overly effective last night in the wide right position, not sure if it him not suiting that position or if it was lack of service in general down the right side

[sydmariner]

won't they be intercepted by the navy & be taken 2 xmas island lol
