Didn’t stick out to me tbh, both obviously playing at the ball neither really taking the other out just missing.

A disappointing game of a team with many players out against a team with a few players out and many recovering from illness. We had our chances but Sydney had more and ended up winning a game either could have won.
The impact of a long lay off showed with a lack of match fitness to which covid obviously contributed massively.
My impressions starting from the front.
Cummings looks to be the real deal, when he settles into the team we will have the factor we have been missing. Cannot wait to see more.
Urena, although copping criticism here was one of our best and never stopped trying. He seems to make some questionable decisions still. I suspect that is because he has inexperienced players with him and takes too much on himself. It was obvious last year that he trusted Matty and we saw some great combination play. Hopefully with Cummings we will see that develop. The only other player who seems to have the ability to work well with him is Nizzy.
Moresch showed today he is not a winger he will be valuable off the bench as a shock replacement for any tiring striker. Still a development to happen.
Nkololo is in a similar position to Moresch. A tonne of potential, with some great touches and a heap of enthusiasm to terrify tiring oppositions. He is also a work in progress off the bench.
Ollie is still a class act. Starting to age a bit now but is the rock on which the team is built.
Steele is still young and learning. In my opinion not as good as Ballard. The two of them can fight for the DM spot next to Ollie for the rest of the season. Hopefully this will bring out the best in both of them.
Miller is starting to show how good he can be. If he carries on improving he will be a rep player. He has started to back himself when he gets upfield and is a danger to any defender. I just wish he did not try to claim fouls when he falls over. A player his size will never get sympathy from a ref even more so when he is starting to get a rep for it. Suck it up, get up and get on with it.
Farrell is amazing quality for his age. Owns the left fullback spot.
Tongyick has obviously come back not fully fit. One of our best last year, hopefully he can get back to where he was. I admire his dedication.
Hall showed the after effects of covid. Not 100%. hopefully it does not linger.
Birraz. About time Arnie called him up. Enough said.
Just one mention on the replacements. When Nizzy came on we were a different team. I do not think many realise how good he really is. At the moment all they can talk about how good he is for his size. Forget his size he is one of the best players in the A-League. Deserves more recognition.
Today there were extenuating circumstances. Still extremely positive for the rest of the season. This squad is seriously competitive.

No one has mentioned it yet, and I was on the other side of the field down in the corner with the rest of the Mariners faithful when it happened but did Corica throw the ball at Farrell in anger just after he was hacked down by a Sydney player and Ams awarded us a free kick or was I seeing things. It was about midway through the 2nd half

Nizz played most of his football as a DM until last season when we had plenty of DMs but a lack of wingers.
As a DM, I saw him more as a #8 rather than a #6. Although not a traditional winger he brings that #8 style out wide with a lot the ability of working infield and linking well with runners and strikers while Miller can terrorise the sideline. Either spot will do me. He still strengthens our midfield while on the wing.

I saw that on tv but everyone chose to ignore it. I did not see who threw it but if it was Corica he is confirming my suspicion that he is a bit of a grub not reacting well to pressure.

He's not played in the middle for nearly 2yrs. His attributes are that of a Centre mid but he's not playing there and hasn't for some time. If he strengthens our centre on the wing he'll not play there again unless there is no one else

It was definitely Corica, he should be cited for it. It was a disgraceful act by someone who should know better

I thought Ams went to his pocket straight after it but then put it away. Will need to watch the replay

I thought the tackle alone deserved a card, but yeah need to see if it shows up on the replay

I think the strongest match day squad is beginning to become obvious.
Birraz
Miller, Hall, Rowles, Farrell
Nizz, Ballard, Ollie, Goddard
Cummings, Urena
Bench possibles and probables:
Ruon, Storm, Steele, Nkololo, Moresch
Anyone I've missed who should be on the bench in front of those 5?
That is a squad which should be able to match it with any other in the League.
