Rd1 - CCM v MV - home

[FFC Mariner]

Just finished watching the replay of our game. Happy to stick with my original analysis.
The thing I will agree with Wombat is not to try Doka as a #10. I made that call in frustration at the lack of creativity in our attacking third.

Jacko set the team up to take advantage of Peraic-Cullen's long balls to two big strikers along with high crosses looking for heads.
We definitely need someone who can fill Nizzy's role when he played as a #10 with a lone striker alongside. Neither Kuol nor Edmo are what you would call creative. One of them can be the tall muscle but we definitely need some touch to have the option of attacking up the middle with the ball on the ground.
McCallum looks to be growing into Ballards spot in organising from the DM spot and Steeley is an adequate replacement for Tappy when required.
It will be interesting to see how Jacko deals with this in our game against Adelaide. Maybe some more trials in the next Asian cup game.

Excellent summation.
Based on 1 round the top 4 will be us, Sydney, Victory and City.
Bottom 3 will be Roar,Perth and the scum

Wouldn't that be a great season for crowds and TV views, if it ended like that with a us winning a treble over the big boys

Auckland might be a handful.
