Round 12 - Adelaide v CCM @ Coopers (Boxing Day)

[Big Al]

No Absolonsen. Didn’t make it back and Gulum and Baba out

 

[Gratis]

Looks like we will be playing a 433 tonight with Hoole and Danny as the two 10s, Hairiej as the DM pivot, Connor and Appia as the wingers and Powell up front.

Love it. Don't know if it will work but love it

 

[Wombat]

12 min in and we are going ok. Off the ball movement is poor at times but overall we are looking decent.

 

[sydmariner]

Shit

 

[Wombat]

1.0 down. We simply can't defend.
We didn't close down space so make life easy for them.

 

[nebakke]

This is getting old I gotta say...

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Just tuned in...dammit, down one already
Appiah shoots...striker needs to be shooting better than that from range. Nice corner though.

 

[sydmariner]

How the f**k did izzo save that when he cant even catch a cold.

 

[nebakke]

Christ... It's better than last time I think, in the sense that we're taking the game to them a bit more, not just content with letting them pack in their defense, but we're still struggling to get any sort of penetration going and in return, they're looking at lot more dangerous in attack

 

[Wombat]

Josh Rose just cleared off the line otherwise we would be 2.0 down. A good defensive header by Roux moments before.

 

[BrisRecky]

It’s starting to get a bit.....same old , innit, get the ball, pass it around , maybe get a shot , OR you can be our opponents, 3 passes down to our end and then a goal

 

[Wombat]

Exactly. Because we don't attack at pace. We stop and kill everything by turning backwards.
wtf....Appiah is suddenly playing like a Footballer and has had 2 good chances in 60 secs!

 

[Wombat]

btw Peter Green is a decent ref

 

[nebakke]

Gonna need Paolo to find the firecrackers and the big words at half time - this can't be allowed to go on

 

[Wombat]

Great save Kennedy after Golec slow to close down.

 

[style_cafe]

btw Peter Green is a decent ref

That wasn't a bad half. We look ok with the ball and look good down the sides. Hoole is getting caught alone a bit with the ball but has played some great forward balls to Powell. Tom looks a smidge rusty and we are missing Wout alot in the defensive middle.
All in all its a very even game we are just lacking the quality in front of goal. But it's not like that's anything new is it

 

[scottmac]

Tell ya what Ryan Kitto is a gun. Great shot and great game awareness. He's the difference.

 

[Pirate Pete]

I thought that Asdrubal may have come on for Powell at half time.

 

[Big Al]

To slow, turn into trouble. Hoole is lost. DDS in affective that far back.
Powell no service.

Typical Mariners defence but wow Storm with the back track header.
Rose been sloppy.

Izzo with the good saves. Of course against us. Kennedy with great save at the end of the half
