Mariners vs Vissel Kobe 26 Nov ACL Elite

[Corsair]

Wow looks like a great stadium

 

[Spacks]

"Much changed team tonight"

Let's go lads, we have a chance!

 

[sydmariner]

Looks like there’s a pretty decent ccm turnout.

 

[sydmariner]

Finally we have a front of shirt sponsor.

 

[Corsair]

They've go the stadium cleaners and the orange cutters on. Taking the piss.

f**king hell he's started Paull

f**king hell he's started Paull

as opposed to who mate, we're pretty bare bones in the centreback department. Especially left footed centrebacks.

He hasn’t warranted being dropped. He actually has done alright in recent games, yeah a couple of mistakes creep in, but that happens to any young player,

Storm RCB, Herrington (or Doka) RB Brian LCB.

I was a huge advocate for Rowles when everyone else was doubting, you could see the talent was just lacking confidence. My greatest concern for Paull is positioning and reading of the game. These are hard to teach if you don't have them naturally. Hopefully he'll improve with game time, we'll see....not questioning commitment.

 

[Wee-mac]

@marinermick good to hear your dulcet tones on CoastFM again.

 

[turbo]

I think we will get absolutely tonked.
They are a different league to us in every way.
Respectable tonking hopefully

We don’t even look like we’re playing the same game.

Those improve with exposure to game time, right? Anticipating and reacting to possible outcomes improves with more exposure to differing scenarios, no?

 

[Corsair]

Love seeing Storm.enjoying the game, what a player he's been for CCM over the years.

 

[Ads]

Their movement off the ball is incredible.

And their pressing is solid.

 

[Josho Howe]

Boy, this team is absolutely class. This isn't their strongest XI either. Top of the league for a reason. We're being suffocated.

That is not a given at all. Certainly they can and if you're open to it then yes it's game time that'll improve those aspects. But if you're starting from such a low point at this stage in your career, I have doubts. I've not written him off but it doesn't seem like a natural aptitude... however I don't see him train, only performances under pressure so it's all subjective. I hope he makes it, he'd have been dropped in wealthier squad by now but that's why he's here and that's why we're playing him I guess...

If you're in defence you have a lot of time to practice reading play...or stare at clouds

3rd all time in appearances for us now. Only Simmo and Hutcho ahead.

Legend status: Achieved

It was cool too see him being the most vocal in the pre-game huddle.

Paull passes to Kaltak,
