R13 ccm v fire chicken fc

[scottmac]

And probably would have been three the way we were playing. We needed the half to stop and Monty to give the boys the hair dryer and make tactical changes

Yeah true. However 5 mins for the VAR and at least 3 for the injury just didn't add up. Screams inexperienced ref.

 

[marinermick]

We served up an equally flat performance over there in Rd 2. Monty needs to light a fire under the boys at HT and/or make some changes. Ruhs has been very disappointing so far but the rest of the boys aren’t far behind him sadly

Not even half a performance between he and Beni. Both beyond dreadful and need to be hooked.

Has our plane arrived in NZ yet?

Monty is a smart manager and can see the issues. Regardless we are just to lethargic.
Fingers crossed Monty magic works for the 2nd half

 

[Michael]

Truly awful first half. The touches and passing of everyone were atrocious. Niz carrying us atm but still not his usual self. Kaltak marking for Zawada goal was embarrassing. Ruhs and steely need to be dragged at the half and why are we so insistent on playing out for goal kicks? Clear tactic that just isn’t working well today. Adapt.

 

[Ozhammer]

And to cap it all Rufer of all people opens the scoring against us fmd. I still believe he was offside though

God this commentary

I hope this is a one off peformance because if it becomes consistent then I will be concerned

And should have more than one yellow.

 

[Corsair]

Where is the mariners spirit its not in wellington some players looking like they rather not be their

Missing the Joker to lift the mood

 

[Tevor]

God this commentary

And people defend this county being in the A League. It’s just Kiwi rubbish.

Big half time talk coming up. Maybe we’ll see a classic mariners second half but I’m not confident. Bench pretty green too.

Clearly offside

 

[Ads]

Watching the highlights at half time.
All their attacks are straight from us playing it through the middle to a player under pressure.

Direct not working when they up your arse.

Hold ball, draw and pass wide.
Work the ball and get confidence on ball then make a move higher up pitch where not as dangerous

zawada was triantis man . niz has done sfa besides one pass .

The ship has sailed and they will just foul as out of the game and defend their lead. Probably even get us on the counter again.

 

[scottmac]

Boys look f**ked in the sheds

 

[true believer]

Clearly offside

mrs tb called it first time

 

[Big Al]

First half that resembles the first half of the season and Nix playing to well and punishing us.

We are looking for excuses like the ref instead of pulling our finger out. Missing passes by a mile and flat footed. Deserve to be down 3 or 4. That was bad

BUT we are a second half team

Are they even aware this is broadcast outside of their country
