ALM - BrisneyLand Roar v CCM : football in a alternate dimension

[FFC Mariner]

2 nil up away from home after the schedule we have had and we went 541. I can live with that. Still had the legs to suck them forward then break and get the 3rd.
Perfect tactics - he seems more tactically flexible that Monty (heresy I know)

Well we’ve already seen 3 formations which is more than I recall Monty doing in a season. He did a lot of things very well but mixing it up wasn’t at the top of the list.

 

[Allreet?]

Monty's Plan A was pretty good...

 

[marinermick]

In hindsight it worked. In general I'm not a fan of the tactic, and its fair for fans to have concerns during the game and not be labelled 'negative'

Where did I label you “negative”?

Tactic has been paying off in football for decades in leagues all over the world. It is generally a well worn and successful tactic.

 

[Big Al]

Was out at the work Christmas party so have only seen the goals but how sublime was niz left foot pass to Torres. Perfectly weighted.

 

[Big Al]

Angel needs to shoot on the Angle.
5 with the instep. No laces shots please.

 

[BrisRecky]

WELL, all I can say is , Jacko's theorum is starting to click , if Kuol and Reece can get their head around it properly then what a scoring line we will have

Suspect @Hello Sailor was referring to my tongue in cheek comment about the negativity in the thread when we were 2-0 up. Away. In Brisbane. At Suncorp. Which has never happened before.

Relax everyone, we're all on the same team here. I was about to crack a tinny to celebrate us all getting through a game and not having to delete any posts. Let's not ruin the moment.

 

[shipwreck]

I wonder if Jacko knows how toothless Kuol and Reec are and has built the team around them being distractions and pesters with the majority of goals coming from the attacking support players

 

[gemkayem]

The amount of negativity in this thread when we were 2-0 up

I can’t understand why…

Yeah lots of panic, there was nothing to worry about

lol. Didnt know you were gammin

Actually I WAS biting my nails-just didn't want Brizzie to get back in the game and they were throwing everything they had at us.

 

[true believer]

this is also a bench mark for sook factor .
have the roar kittens surpassed the squad ruts ?

 

[Melange]

I was very surprised by Aloisi's press conference. Made no excuses, completely complimentary of our boys, how well we play and our coach.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Boys were dead on their feet. We didn’t have the legs to be expansive. It was the right tactics and it paid off.

I was extremely pleased we were this tactically flexible.

Exactly this. Ask the the players to push through that level of fatigue and we'd probably have a bunch of injuries and would have been poor management.

People worried about the risk of sitting deep, this is not the same equation as when you go up, get fearful and or go into your shell to try and protect your lead. We would have been much more exposed on the counter with tired players unable to chase than we were by parking the bus.

With a tough away trip for a team playing their third game in 8 days, a lesser coach would either have tried to shut up shop too early, maybe even at one nil, which we didn't, or be too scared to change what had been working and we'd have almost certainly crumbled. As Mick said, this was MJ being both sensible and tactically flexible.

 

[Allreet?]

Just rewatched the match.

Jeez we were good, considering how buggered we were. Nizz... wow. Others are coming very good also.

My son once won a GF 1.0 at Pluim Park playing for Kariong FC when he was maybe 10yo. They had one gun player in the team and the rest were pretty average.
We played Killarney or some Northern Coast team who had gone through undefeated. The Gun player scored a 25 yard screamer after about 30 mins. Harry's team moved the Gun to Centre forward and parked the bus. The repelled everything and made no attempt to play Football just wellied everything back up the other end. They must have conceeded 500 throw ins as the ball and sometimes the player were constantly sent over the sideline but they could not be breeched.
When the whistle went the other side sat down in shock.
We (the parents) lost our shit and invaded the pitch to celebrate.
None of the kids were tired at all even though they didn't stop.
Defending is relatively easy when everyone picks up and tracks every runner. The Italian's did this for years. Boring Arsenal did it for a few seasons.

So, the last time i was in Brisneyland (before immigrating I mean) to see a winning Mariners game at Lang Park , was the night before Ange took over , 3-0 to the Coast I believe @marinermick ....and the teacher was being praised

Haha, the teacher. She had a nice pair. Nicky Travis, Hutch and Pedj were the scorers that night. The limo Hummer ride back with my team to the Gold Coast was pretty sweet.
