    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.

ACL Elite vs Shanghai Shenhua

I'm an idiot savant without the pesky savant bit
Shenhau…wasn’t that mob whose two backs bumped into each other and fell down screaming and one of the coaching staff hit the pitch to chuck a wobbly , oh those many moons ago ?

Should be a good game and if we don't take full points that's our Asian campaign done.
It really is/was a big ask. Two games out of season. The next 4 in early rounds of the ALM. Only MD7 and MD8 will we have something like a coherent team.

These teams are definitely a step up from the AFC Cup but the continually turnover in the squad together with the misalignment of our season with most of Asia makes it tough.

Yeah definitely, I was quite frankly not expecting much from this campaign.

Apart from the disappointing loss to Buriam at home I haven't been surprised by our results.

I fear the worst. (Is anybody surprised.) 🙈

Each of these ACL games I have had a little shred of hope that some magic will ignite.. like it did in the AFC cup, when we weren’t performing in the aleague yet. It was hope.

My hope is all but gone 🥲

Sometimes when all expectation is removed it can relieve the pressure and the team fires up... there is always hope 😉

Tonight is the night for it.

Paull and Diesel against probably some billion dollar 🇧🇷 strikers.

A goal scored tonight is a win

Up against a side that only lost 1 game in their entire CSL season, and only conceded 20 goals… and still didn’t win the league 🙃 plucky 0-0 would suit me just fine 😅

Give Eames a chance in that hybrid second forward 10 role maybe.

And Duarte to get another shot tonight with the strength and energy.

Rough em up early I reckon, get them off their game.

Can’t let them get a lead otherwise will be a dismal watch of them falling like flies and chewing the minutes.

I have a good feeling about this one tonight. They have just finished there season, disappointingly, then on a plane to play us. Hoping they underestimate us.

We haven't been disgraced (yet!), still finding our feet as a squad and really has been a couple of errors or the quality of select opponents that has seen us currently on 0.

Would love to see Duarte get some minutes. Shame he hasn't since his goal in China.

COYY!
