    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

We played a poor formation against a weakened Saudi side who didn't play well either. We get run over in the midfield. Hrustic, Irvine in midfield were poor. Caceres anonymous. Miller and Bos both poor. Duke, O'Neil two of the better players. Gauci with a couple of good saves but can't play out from the back.

Ballard, Nisbet, Arzani and Irakunda need to be rhere in the next window.

We had the chances so I don't think the midfield was our problem tonight - though yes, they were pretty non-existent. We just can't score.

Though taking 2 strikers off to put 1 on doesn't help....

Nizzy is being so hard done by, he deserved to be our there. Irankunda perhaps.....Arzani is washed up though.

Our midfield regularly turned over the ball putting pressure on our defence. O'Neill and McGree were the only decent midfielder. Our best chances came from Duke's pressing when our midfield was bypassed.

I really think a back 4 would be a much better formation.

High line needs speed to get around or behind it. Pitty the only fast attacker i can think of was left in Germany (he was however horrible in his few games)

I thought Caceras brought a calmness to the ball and was good.

Bos and Miller were horrible. Saudi knew what was coming but that would be Bos worst game in a long time. Constantly turning it over trying to take on two players when it wasn’t on.
