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.
no idea in attack . mates lads at the backWhat shocking defending for their goal.
It looks a different squad to the one that was playing well.These boys were playing great a couple months ago and now gone to shit. Come home Faz and Alou were your needed and appreciated
The CB isnt a relation to the Victory coach from what I can see.mates lads at the back
In Garang's defence he only ever got a chance in both games when the opposition were laying on the ground constantly. We never saw him involved when the play was uninterrupted.Velupillay is useless-even for Victory he is very inconsistent.Toure is strong and can hold the ball up but his shooting is poor at present.His penalty attempt was at the right height for the Indonesian keeper( who was very good though did some injury role playing).Both the Kuol boys did not contribute much when they came on nor did Brooks whom I don't rate anyway.
Overall Beach has been our best player over the 180 mins which says something.However not sure all should be on Vidmar as the coach.He doesn't shoot wildly,stuff up penalties,mishit,overhit and underhit passes or turn over the ball in dangerous positions.He probably lacks the ability to fire up his team and some of his selections and subs are puzzling.
There did not appear to be a real team leader on the field and none of our midfielders showed coolness under pressure and the ability to hold the ball.
However the Indonesians did play well and were tigerish in defence and quick to break.Again many of them were victims of a sniper in the crowd which is frustrating to watch.
On the curriculum thing, I think happens somewhere between u10 and u13. My young guy is u10 academy and you watch some of these teams and they are fkn amazing. Beautiful skills on the ball, creativity out the wazoo and amazing array of passing. Then I see the u13 and its just f**king boring. There's f**k all creativity, the kids dribble into defenders and can't hit a pass.Don't bother watching the recap, it's just Indonesian's wasting time. It's truly pathetic to watch.

Truly disgusting. No creativity, no flair. I have to assume it's a national curriculum to setup like this.
Yes please!!Garang should have started or come on earlier and that is one of Vidmar's mistakes.
I think Garang has as much potential and ability as Irankunda though he lacks the latter's thunderous shot but has a lot calmer temperament.His disastrous loan spells with Hearts and Volendam would have sapped his confidence.He needs to reset his career by coming back to CCM ,even if it is a loan spell from Newcastle United, or possibly going to a Championship side which treasures skilful players ( again on loan) or possibly even leaving the clutches of the Tyneside mob who posssibly have not helped him much but professional football at that level is a tough gig.
Its hard to identify any tactics being used.Maybe just maybe we should stop using the same formation and tactics we have used at junior level for nearly the last 15 years.
The football world has moved past the Netherland's 2010 World Cup performance.
