R18: Sydney vs Mariners

[Bladesman]

Given we are only 2 days away and no one has started a thread thought I had better do it although I guess most like me really don't want to contemplate what could happen again.

I think at least it will be a bit of a bench mark given how close it is to the last game on if there has been any progress in the last few weeks. At least it will be interesting to see what Moss has learnt in terms of team selection, formation and tactics.

 

[MagpieMariner]

I'm really not looking forward to this.
The only hope I have is that they (FC) will be overconfident like AU was and we catch them short.

my team

reddy

roux posco steady rose
careres monty
cernak hutch Ferreira
major

sub nash kalik rose 2 fitz sim

im happy to play fitz or cernak up front if major gets injured/runs out of steam .
i'd rather play a winger at striker than a striker on the wing , moss still doesn't get that.
Sydney are as low a side as the tards . hutch at 10 is better in this game than triffero
who should have started against Guangzhou .

has someone phoned everton yet ?

 

[sydmariner]

Will anyone be using that stupid "Arnie cash" or not

Send Caceres up next to Hutch, and see how we go.

I would like to see Cernak up front to see what he can do. He looks determined to prove a point. I'd prefer Ando over Boz. Maybe ...

..............................Reddy..........................
..Storm........Posco..........Ando...............Rosey....
..........................Monty..................................
..Fabs...........Caceres...........Hutch.........Fitzy....
............................Cernak................................

Bench - Boz, Kalik, Nash,Trif, Matty.

 

[VicMariner]

..............................Reddy.............................
..Storm........Posco..........Ando............Rose..
..........................Monty..................................
..Ferreira.............Caceres...............Cernak...
.....................Major........Simon......................


If Ferreira and Cernak play like they have been and get some crosses into two strikers it could worry any defence.

Agree with playing with 2 up front, not sure on Ando being back in the starting 11. I don't think he's good enough tbh

So Nash, Bosnar, Trifiro, Hutchinson, Kalik, Sim and Major on the bench, two to be dropped, and that's OK for subs, and I think you've nailed it with our current squad. Hmmm, interesting.

Liking the thinking although no chance of me put Ando in there so would be Bosnar and I would go with Major up front with Hutch next to Caceres.

 

[yorkshireman]

wtf, cernak not in the squad?!?

I just copy pasted localpom's backline because Rose and Roux are good but any CB pairing is meh atm.

 

[nebakke]

I'm chosing to see a pattern, we take every second, which means this one will be the revengeance!

1-2 in our favour... Actually... Come to think of it... Stunning everyone, out of nowhere, the Mariners suddenly show up and hammer Sydney 5-1 in the upset of the decade!... Yeah... In my dreams, ANYTHING can happen!

Don't you mean 7-2

I dunno, I always seem to wake up just before she touches it.

 

[aussiem]

What does Cernak have to do to get a game.......surely better option than Sim on the bench....

 

[Roy Law]

I am expecting a win; I reject all negative thoughts.

It absolutely defies logic. I just don't understand it.

 

[BrisRecky]

Anderson in...does that mean Eddies on the splinters?, God knows he deserves a rest after Tuesday's diabolical-isms.....as much as I like to think we will give the smurfs a shake up, I think our confidence levels are in the shitter and Arnies diving Smurf patrol will control us
