    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

And Massimo has been ignored after the first 2 games so he is not exactly playing EPL either.
Which is harsh given the first 2 games were Liverpool and man city.

Niz has only just started in a 5th tier league.

Mass has a longer range of passing compared to niz which will suit poppa's bombing long for the wide players to chase.

Bombing it long against a low block?
Yeah great

To be fair Loungo is playing premier league. He pushed Niz out and Max hasn’t had a go yet. HE IS WASHED UP AND HAS PLAYED 1 GAME IN A TEAM THAT HAS NOT WON A GAME THIS SEASON. NOT REALY PLAYING EPL. HE COULDN'T EVEN GET A SINGLE MINUTE FOR BORO IN THE CHAMPO....AND THEY ARE SHIT.

Plus gotta just what you know and Geria has been pretty good for a while. GERIA IS NOT AN INTERNATIONAL PLAYER.

Izzo is the keeper playing overseas. HE PLAYS IN DENMARK FOR A SHIT CLUB IN A 10,000 CAPACITY STADIUM. BIG EDMO SENDS HIS LOVE.

Arzani should not have been named otherwise I think it’s pretty well rounded squad. ARZANI IS MORE USEFUL THAN GERIA, BACCUS AND VELUPILLAY.

While I didn't like the way Arnie's team was playing I was reasonably confident we would qualify. The more I see and hear of Popovic the less confident I become. This window is so important and he seems to be ensuring that we won't do well. Arnie's team needed tweaking - not going backwards.

Only explanation I would accept is maybe didn't want jeopardise Nizzy's and Max's spots in their sides as they have only just established themselves.

Nizzy plays Celtic tonight and Max side has important games against teams around them. The selection of Brattan screames of a desperate scan around the league of who was fit.

Nah Poppa will only care about Socceroos (which he should). Just doesn’t rate them

I’d suggest it’s just more who is here now and semi match fit. Chances are he doesn’t get on anyway but if that’s the case why not bring someone younger along for the ride. I could somewhat get behind the idea of bringing in someone like Holman or Teague (focusing on clubs active in late Aus cup stages). And maybe Yazbek is just free because he was suspended for saying bad stuff?

I admit I don't feel inspired by Poppa's recruitment - or his choice of lieutenants (Okon, seriously).

But I'll see how and who he plays over a few games before passing judgement. If he's smart he'll rotate potential players over the next few games to assess.

Despite the grace I'll give him I won't be at all surprised if I'm dirty by the end
