Adelaide away - Mauk's last game in Oz

[ryan]

Wtf? We should have buried our chances. We need to score every time we get in the penalty area because we can't hold on for the life of us.

I’m in disbelief. How does this keep happening? I wouldn’t be suprised if Cummings has had enough already. So many times the pass doesn’t go to him, ignoring his runs.

Agreed. Just not enough brains in the attack that match his.

 

[Corsair]

Take the positive... the bias was subtle but ever present.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Cruel, I will post my thoughts when the goo feasting is over.

Lots to be thought about with a clear head.

 

[Tevor]

That my friends is the sound of the spoon cabinet opening. Not so worried about missing the difficult games to get to now. Thought we would be looking better than that and really go after the game. Every team now knows we are good for a goal when it’s 90 mins. I think I’m taking a break for a while. A 16 yr old scores that against us!!!! At least we are were the APL wants us on the ladder.

Nice to lose a game without any ref blunders atleast, was a nice distraction from actually just being shit ??

 

[scottmac]

Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water here. We are better than our results. We've had no decisions and no luck. Once they turn, and they will, we will start winning games hand over fist. COYY.

You forgot the sarcasm tag

Was the start of our season just luck?

We weren’t turning the ball over like this before. I don’t get it.

That’s a hard one to take. Few points:
- beni improving and that’s very welcome
- muller needs to give us more
- Cummings needs the ball
- Urena our lynchpin but needs to find the net too
- We’re still getting swamped in the middle and not seeing a clear advantage elsewhere
- Cy not strong enough on the ball, that last goal started from him losing the ball when we should have been a threat.

For their first Hall was clearly fouled and dropped down straight away. Was absolutely in a spot to challenge the ball at that point yet VAR didn’t even ask for a look.

Down the other end the late foul on Miller not being called was inexplicable.

We're scrapping and holding on the whole game. Defenders get pressed and are too slow every match. The last 4 or 5 games have been the same game played out over and over. This one was improved (Niz first half) but played out exactly the same.

Unfortunately I'm starting to look at Muller and Goddard as journeymen.

Urena's passing was loose today.

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

I think Urena is the Ronaldo of the Mariners.
Does he get in the way.
Does he give away more than he gives.

I feel we had more flow and better mix with Teskenis and Hatch adding value.

Muller, Urena and Cummings on at same time is too much of lack of legs.

We need to pull the team forwards from the front.

Are they injured, sick or just not getting picked?

 

[Stoxxo]

We were poor, Adelaide was poor but slightly less so. Shit game, shit result. This on paper is one of the better teams we have had for a long time. Massively disappointing with what we are dishing up. Needed fresh legs way earlier than 85 mins, team looks tired, wtf is Monty thinking

I like the optimism, let’s hope that is before the morale is destroyed

Monty needs to seriously look at how the top 3 teams are setting themselves up structure wise as well as how they approach different scenarios and parts of the game.

After this amount of games can start to see what is working against different teams.

In saying that even the young blokes like Hall, Miller and Niz looked like they had tired legs.

Really need to focus on that first 15 minutes where the start of the season we showed teams how good we were and put them on the back foot and make them nervous!

 

[turbo]

Millers reputation for diving seems to preceed him

Should it matter with the AR having a front row seat?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Reports from the away end are that some players ripping into others. No names yet but all is clearly not well

Not getting picked.
We are playing the proven strikers and wide men or foreign over them.

And then the bench is based on back, middle and front cover based on the same respect.

Are they injured, sick or just not getting picked?

If you want to win against the Mariners play a high press. That's it, easy.

No good.

It’s ok when your a very average side, you don’t tend to bite at each other.

But they must be frustrated knowing they can do better and especially the 3/5 front men not feeding each other.

Everyone is having week shots with tired legs.

Hall should have been subbed 20 mins before the end at least.
