Cows V Central Coast Mariners

[Big Al]

Don't know if anything was said in the commentary (I was at the game) but according to my maths that was his 100th A-League clean sheet. (He became the all time record holder with his 91st clean sheet against WU and I make it 9 more since.)

They tried jinking it for the last 20 minutes

 

[Big Al]

We shit down Crygermain really well.

Watching on replay. The win was never in doubt. We made them look like a bang average bottom side. To be such levels above the team running 4th is outstanding and a credit to the coaching staff and players.

Was a really complete performance from us. Bulls looked like they’d already mentally banked the 3 points expecting us to struggle with the turn around.

Is that a new brand of toilet?

 

[Hello Sailor]

We're red hot atm, I think most teams don't know where our weakness is. It'll be interested to see how MJ goes after SFC in a fortnight.

I think Sydney successfully pressed Niz and Ballard and made life difficult. One added bonus of moving Niz up front is that they can try the same against Balard and Tapp/Steele but now have to deal with Niz terrorising their defence. They will need to rethink. BTW those Niz goals must have bumped up his asking price if/when he moves on.

Not so sure, I think we just suffocated them and Mile will be scratching his head on how to beat us after that. It’s troubling when a team totally dominates you. I think they only had one shot in the first half and the game was pretty much over after 20 minutes. They threw everything they had at us but couldn’t get anything out of it.

Sydney came out flying and we were in the middle of a brutal travel stint. The next Sydney game could be an absolute cracker of a match with both teams fresh.

We did for sure but there were some post game comments around it.

Just finished watching the replay and thoroughly enjoyed it. Can’t say all the cow fans grazing on the hill and chewing their cud enjoyed the game. Also I was not disappointed seeing the banded headed boob making a fool of himself as usual. What about that inane Paramount commentator trying to breathe life into doomed cattle destined for the abbatoir. Another Einstein comment from an idiot commentator, he’s a great goalie, really hey he’s let 3 through.

Wind it back champ. Ben Homer is one of the better callers in the game.
Yes, you can still be a good ‘keeper and concede goals. Macarthur’s league position would be much worse if it weren’t for Kurto. Doesn’t take Einstein to work that out.

Kurto was MacArthur's best player.He is a top goalie,probably the best in the league.

Easily......

Not many would have got a hand to that one on one with Torres, expertly done and top shelf by Kurto.

It was a tight game against Macarthur a few weeks ago. Jackio learned what they are about in person, adjusted tactically, owned them.

The only 2 other teams we've have real trouble with were Syd and Welly. Knowing how they both play now I expect Jacko to improve us against both as well

No Kurto and we score 8.
Some clown was giving it to him at the ground and was shut down by a delightful lady who made the same point.
A horrible away trip to the worst ground in the AL. Security are a nightmare and are as petty and over the top with their own fans.
Reminds me of the scumdome back in the day before they did it up.

 

[BrisRecky]

Did you see their active support ??

you mean that nitwit rattling its cowbell near a live mic ?

 

[true believer]

With five games to go, we need one more point to mathematically guarantee finals.

Having said that... we're definitely going to win the league and also be champions.

Could we finally get a home final?

Its not big enough . We own cumberland oval (commbank) with hangers on will need it

 

[Omni]

I hope everyone who went in complaining about CFG not hosting goes in just as hard when APL doesn’t let us host.

If we play Sydney it may even need Accor

To be fair they had an active group of about 10/15 in the corner (council have shut down where they broke the fence)
They were closed down by security after about 20 mins as they were in the family area and told to sit down
It was evident to me that the club only want the family market and do all they can to shut down any active support.
They want school carnival crowds that go to Matildas and Socceroos games

Spot on, I actually think most clubs are starting to work out the Nix. They are a plan A team and good at that plan however they started good from round 1 and it gives the comp the whole season to work you out. The other week Adelaide who are awful almost up set them at home so I wasn't surprised to see them go down to City. Not sure the Nix can hang on and win the premiership.

SFC will be very interesting. They are having some joy with this new high press however it is far from consistent and yesterday and before the red apparently the Roar were handling it well and playing through it quite easily. Seems to be if SFC get an early goal their press seems to build momentum however when they don't it becomes less effective. We handled the press from the Cows with ease yesterday and it created some very open areas at times.

 

[Quirky]

A bang tidy performance from the lads. There were times, even under Monty but definitely under Staj, when we have looked flattered to be in the top six. But right now we look as assured as any other team in the league. Make no mistake about it - the Central Coast Mariners are the best team in the league and I'm not even sure it's close.

Love that people are waking up to Nizzy being the best mid in the comp, but I also want to mention Maxy. Quietly going about his business and rarely making a mistake (apart from in front of goal) - his decision making when he receives the ball with his back to goal is impeccable. So many of our attacks come through him and he keeps the ball so well to allow us to push up and relieve any pressure in our half. Love the boy!
