Mariners v Victory

Seriously what the f**k is with the lack of replays? Nothing is getting replayed, last touches, fouls

We had enough chances, not good enough. Cant blame Victory for playing how they did, Staj very late with the changes again. Victory with a makeshift back 4, games like this will come back to bite us in the ass more than the Adelaide game.

Yet again Staj's terrible game management hurts us.
Simon was honking but he kept him on
Trying hard does not mean effective and more people need to realise that. Simon has had a good run but dropped off, it should have been Urena & Kuol starting. Does Kuol do more to get the penalty call in the one Simon missed that went just wide? For me, probably

I finally got home 15 mins after kick off and watched on delay.
The team is looking tired. The passes were slow and there were not a lot of players making themselves available. There was lots of uncertainty in the play tonight.
Far too much slowness in attack.
I saw the main problem as there being little creativity coming from the midfield.
Urena was the only one being creative. Even his own goal he directed where he wanted the ball placed.
We never looked like opening them up like we did to teams early in the season.
I do not think Stens is anywhere near fit and thought Nizzy was far better than him in the second half.
Bouman had some good moves but most of them came to nothing or to crosses from out wide.
Simon worked all night and created chances but never looked like scoring. He plays with strength, determination, aggression and never gives up, but you could never call him a clinical striker.
Like many here I was wondering when Kuol was coming on but also wondering who you would take off.
Urena was the only source of creativity and Simon was the only one really threatening their goal.
In the end it was Urena and all we then relied on was crosses into the box.

In future if We play Stens and Ollie as DMs we must have Nizz on the wing to support DDS. Although I did not like seeing Nizz on the wing he developed a great rapport with DDS and the two of them opened teams up through the middle with their understanding.

I would then have Urena playing his usual #10 style with Kuol up front.

Bouman and Simon on as subs no later than 60 min either both up front or Bouman on the wing and Matty up front.

We need to be much more incisive int the from third. All I saw tonight was bash and barge. and hope we could get something from some pretty average crosses.

I still cannot make Janota out. He has some quality about him but still seems off the pace. Maybe an AM or #10. I think he looks as though he needs some time to build up some understanding with the players around him.

If I had to use one word to describe tonight's performance it would be STALE.

Time for a bit of a shake up.

Well, that was the drizzling shits wasnt It ?
mind you the refs absolute cluelessness about time didn’t help and fkn brebners coaching technique of lollygagging was annoying as all f**k, ruon had a few brain snaps tonight and Clisby was 87% half decent ...still can’t figure out nigro
ANYWAY
methinks v Snowtown we need Kuol and Marcos as starters with Janota and Nizzy starting as well ...OR whatever ...Staj will f**k it up somehow probably
