CCM vs Macarthur Bulls MW11 - Pink Round

[Pirate Pete]

Try the back of The Loose Canon...

I thought he was referring to the NPL lot who he went to see Saturday.

Honestly who can spot MOTM, de Silva, tongyik, simon, Urena, only 2 players in that game Nisbit and rowles (give it to rowles for sentimentality)
Edit: Sorry completely forgot the press of nigro, and the greatest game of Clisby I think I've ever seen

Great squad Macarthur has, but they are pretty dire. Little threat at all even with soo much ball. Kudos to Staj who has out coached Milicic by far twice now. Also for the players to carry this out. All I see is unity.

They are utterly and totally over coached by Milicic and that cancer to effective football Jolic.

Best squad in the A-League and all they want to do is pass around the backline.

Has there been a storm up there? There was a pretty wild one in Sydney's north west between approx 4.30 and 5pm.

No.

 

[Wombat]

Are there any doubts as to whether the game will go ahead considering the state of the pitch?

No.

 

[Wombat]

Goal!!!

DDS looking like Arzani at his best.

Nigro looking like me.

But GOAL!!!

Nigro had a shocking first half but was much much better in the 2nd half.

Tongyik for me.

Immense.

 

[Wombat]

Agree. Stens will be a massive addition. With as much ball as they had they didn't create any dead cert chances which is why we kept a clean sheet. It's that failing of possession based football that we know so well from the okon days.

They missed an open goal from 1 yard in front. They looked dangerous in the final third. Birras was brilliant as usual, which is why we kept a clean sheet.

I was.

 

[Huddo]

Tongyik for me.

Immense.

He was tight, except for the mis-touch he saved, that's why I'd give it to rowles.

 

[finally retired]

last season none of our defenders would have challenged after coughing it up like Tongyik did....he was immense in immediately chasing it down and forcing it out. a top moment for me.

 

[Wombat]

Tongyik for me.

Immense.

Roun had one horror mistake but apart from that was brilliant as usual BUT Rowles was actually the better player of the two tonight. In fact I don't remember him playing better, ever. He looked like Trent Sainsbury.

 

[Wombat]

MOM. 3 way tie Birraz, Rowles and DDS. Staj, you are a genius son!

 

[Tevor]

I liked what Staj said after half time, “the game went as he predicted and they held onto the ball and we would have our dangerous moments”. Confirms only plan A for the Cows. No good looking good when you don’t win, I do remember those days under Okon and it was so frustrating. Commentators mentioned it after the game as well, too much passing with no intention where as we play direct. Great win and we fully deserved to be 7 in front.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Jolic playing Okonball. I'd forgotten how mind numbingly boring it is - not at our best but 3 more points

Our bay is behind away bench. Mick yelling at Jolic, "Show us your curriculum" and watching him bristle was f**king hilarious.

Diabolical first half. Was thinking missing that sitter must have really got in his head. Almost made Oar look good. But yeah, improved in the second half.

That wasn't a dead cert chance. It was ricochet stuff. They didn't create it by great play either. The goal wasn't open either there were 2 Mariners on the goal line. Take nothing away from Birraz though. You are right, he was immense again however they did not look dangerous in the final third.

This.

Birra and Olly were also brilliant. Olly was just imperious at times. Clisby and Nizzy both had excellent and important games defensively. Though Nizzy was knocked off the ball a bit at first and in general we were not as good as we have been at at winning the second ball or physically dominating. Really missing Stens for this. The cows were clearly told to lay into Matty and Kuol. And they got away with too much imo. And again Stens physicality would have been great to have.

But another great win and we still have room for more improvement.

They were forced to rely endlessly on those crosses and dead balls. (which were often excellent quality tbf) But Tongyik and Rowles owned their penalty box and all Derbyhire could do was get sookier and sookier. Loved it.
