Round 5 - CCM vs Carl Robinson's last chance.

[Rising Sun]

How good is Kye and Dan Hall going under the radar cleaning so many attacks.

Every player did their part but Hall, Kye and Nizzy could share the 3 points week in, week out.

Kye looks to have had an injection of confidence and on the last 2 weeks in particular looks to have gone up another level.

Hard to believe that this was only what, Dan's 3rd or 4th start in the a-league?

Haha Ziggy called on his bullshit by the commentators

That was just pure Gold!!!and they gave the full "I`m a winner story" story.
Ziggy will be helping Robinson with his bags soon...
off to the Ethiopian Premier League i`m hearing....

 

[Corsair]

100% agree. He was still involved and constantly moving and running into open space. Just needs to find his touch. He'll get there, but booing the guy isn't exactly going to help him ??‍♂️

Setting your stall out that you want to play striker for Costa Rica in the next world cup and then not delivering many chances, as a player that is not going to enamour you to the fans. I don't give a f, we won but it's constantly in the back of mind that he thinks he's a world cup striker... apparently it's fkin with his head too. Needs to just relax, its aleague. Poke a few in and have fun. Even if you score 15 in this league they still might not pick you so get on with it. See earlier comments about something going on with him...

A lot of people with Xmas commitments today.

Don’t think lack of crowd was covid.
More heat and family/Xmas gatherings.

a mix of both methinks...

 

[Stoxxo]

Not sure I believe that we’re lucky to have him.
He should’ve had 3 goals tonight but it basic striking technique and slowness on the ball when he was in huge amounts of space that let him down. Not confidence.
he should be the most confident striker in the league knowing he’s going to get roughly 4 big chances per game because the team does all the work for him.

Going to have to agree to disagree with all of that, each to their own .

[Stoxxo]

I'm going to put it down as an off day. Every time we went forward he wanted the ball and was always making runs in behind their defence, looking up and making quick decisions. It won't be perfect week to week, but it would help if Moresche was more present in the final third to latch onto his chance creation. Wasn't his best game, but I can still draw many positives from his performance. The combination is a work in progress but I see it falling into place as the season progresses.

Yes mustn't lose sight that Moresche was not signed until preseason was almost over. Certainly better things coming.

 

[Corsair]

Costa Rica not Columbia.

Nothing to see here ?

 

[Corsair]

Why's everyone taking about Columbia...of course it didn't say Columbia and i fixed it. It said Costa Rica all along. Geez pay attention pls guys. ?

Also pls moderate how many pints of sirens tears you drink at the bay rd.... they are rather lethal!!

 

[Huddo]

the ref was horrendous.
the studs up challenge on nizzy.
the apparent yellow for diving while running through 3 sets is legs, the advantage played for the garrenteed yellow around the 90 mark when mariners were craving dead ball, Reece Williams apparent second yellow that wasn't, nizzy getting dropped and getting up just to get dropped again. and that's just off the top of my head.

if we'd lost it would be sour grapes, but that officiating wouldn't fly at Saturday Park Level.

I think you have the majority, I’m going to watch the replay tomorrow. Made the win even sweeter though.

I challenge anyone here to run full stick for 80-90 mins in that heat and humidity today and be sharp as a button and perfectly on song

I was hard pressed sitting in the stands, so f**king hot, that was a real shit day. Then again at least I'm not a WSW supporter, hour trip up the F3 ,solid active support in the sun (tip of the hat), a team so bad they're embarrassing, a quasi-manager, a 2-nil loss, a trip back down the F3 with severe sunburn.

Got home after the game and it was still 29 (felt like 32). I sat on the west side in the shade. Didn't feel much chop until I had sat in air-conditioning for 30 mins.

I'm not sure what temperature it was at kick-off but hats off to the boys for coping with the first half and being clearly the better team in the second.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Please give Marco a break, one week people love him the next is throw him on the scrap heap. He does sooo much for this team but all some see is are missed shots. That’s football and It’s like a broken record.

1000%

Some of the posts on Marcos are next level dumb.

 

[true believer]

looking forward to the wombat report . then the winning podi .
great 15 minutes from muller

 

[priorpeter]
