Mariners v $ydney FC

[jaypee]

given the choice between covering the far post and covering an attacker, i'd take the attacker.

clearly the reply of someone who is NOT a keeper

Yep - always have both posts covered - in fact AussieCross will tell you its one of my pet hates and I always make sure the posts are covered before anything else at corners...

danny over committed and was punished!
he is not up to his best lately..... i think that's because his recent cocaine use with bozza, his depression over no olympics and his general hair cut was terrible

 

[fedelta]

there you have it.
i was actually expecting something regarding goalkeeping but whatever you floats your boat

well after a week of 3-0 witty remarks written on my possessions it was sweet revenge to see the MIGHTY MARINERS LOSE to a 10 men sydney squad in front of a wicked crowd of 10k

 

[Horza]

Nah, the Cove had him off this game.

"Danny what's the score?" ;D

HI 5 FOR DANNY

i always thought the marinators had something cooking up for home games... but i thought wrong

given that our second goal was conceded while our two defenders marked posts and watched corica waltz in, receive the ball and slot it home, i'd say it's the reply of someone who knows what shithouse defending looks like.

Being that I was talking about CORNERS quite clearly, and and that this goal was from open play, and also that this is the 2nd time tonight that iv quite clearly said something to you followed by a joking gesture that you have had a dig at, id say you have a f**king problem with me?

Don't players in the wall normally jump?

. apparently not if the guy - in only his second a-league match - already has a reputation for putting the ball over walls  :

. originally i thought danny had positioned himself poorly (i knew where the ball was going, so why didn't danny kinda thinking) but i am now starting to think that if the ball hadn't used to post to get in he may have had it covered :-\

 

[Arabmariner]

The wall didn't do it's job imo.

 

[bikinigirl]

. yeah bring back petrie i say - he was always good for taking a free kick flush in the face for the good of the team

 

[Bex]

FFS it was a brilliant strike and it deserved a goal. The first two goals are the ones that should be criticised and they weren't Danny's fault.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

It deserved a goal, but it shouldn't have gotten one.  The ball only JUST went over the heads of the wall - it's the wall's job to stop those.  The wall blocks off one side of goal, keeper's got the rest.

The wall failed.

All 3 of Sydney's goals were from absolute shite defence.

If there strikers were actually any good, they would've gotten a lot more goals from absolutely shite defence.

Again, like the NJ match, the only thing stopping us from conceding 4 or 5 goals was their strikers.

I stand by the first goal being Danny's fault.  If you can't see the ball, position yourself so you can - don't just stand there twiddling your thumbs and wait to see what happens.  The 2nd....well, it wasn't Danny's fault, but on the other hand, we've seen Danny save goals in those situations without breaking a sweat.  Normally he would've come right out to the kicker then - the fact that he hesitated and was uncertain definitely indicates that his mind wasn't on the job.

 

[marinersman]

To switch to the other end of the pitch for a minute, I'm very encouraged by Sasho's start to the season. I think he's been excellent in the first two games and really looks up for it this season.

His second goal the other night was a peach.

We've got plenty of goals in us this season. As others have said, it's the defence which is a concern thus far. Although to be fair, they did very well against the scum but their attack was rather impotent.

 

[dibo]

matty's effort to win the penalty was not bat at all either. he just kept going and going, until all they could do was pull him down.
