belaguttman Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 It should be a saucy fixture. Whichever team makes the least defensive mistakes will win the game, so it's a bit of a lottery really. CCM play well but make regular defensive mistakes, we tend to play less well with the ball but are a bit better at controlling space except when we make major defensive blunders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a return to the start of season defensive solidity, but also concerned about the counter attacking play as seen in recent games. If anyone with a decent boot breaks our line, its on.Ā Props for word play too. Edited January 11, 2018 by JMSTEP123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCM tend to play 4-3-3 so it matches their forward line but those formations are nominal, it preally depends on player movement and the instructions each has been given by the coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neio Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 It will be the same team as last week, Joyce showed early in season he sticks with players if they put in a performance I'd like to see genreau as the extra bench player, he looked capable last seasonĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'd personally prefer to see 4-3-3. We played 3 at the back against Perth because it matches well with their front two (Keogh and Taggart). Problem with that formation is you have to decide whether the wing backs are going to be defensive or attacking. Teams like CCM that play fast transition force you into eitherĀ 5 at the back or 3 (the goal of having both depending who hasĀ possession isĀ a myth in my opinion). Ā Start against CCM as a 4-3-3 and then if we need to be more attacking shift to 3 at the back. Metcalfe to get a run this week (hopefully). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess for this game would be a dispointing 1-0 loss, or a 0-3 solid win.

haz Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Quote https://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/news/preview-central-coast-v-city The clash Melbourne City wrap up the busiest week of their season on Sunday as they face Central Coast Mariners in Gosford. The match is Cityās third in eight days and after picking up wins against Wellington and Perth, Warren Joyceās side have the chance to make it a vital three wins in eight days, keeping in touch with Newcastle in second place. The story of the week has been the combination of Ross McCormack and Daniel Arzani as the duo combined for all of Cityās goals against Perth and Wellington. The forwards will be out to run amok again on Sunday afternoon. It wonāt be easy for City as they take on a Mariners side looking to bounce back from an F3 Derby loss. Paul Okonās side were in the contest until the final ten minutes of the match where they were over-run by the rampant Jets. Despite the performance, the Mariners are winless in their last six matches with their last win coming against Perth Glory in Round 9. Since then, Central Coast have only scored once and their playing stocks have been ravaged by suspension, injury and international duty. Six regulars will be missing for the Mariners including Andrew Hoole, Connor Pain and Daniel De Silva which will play into Cityās hands. Team News Itās a relatively unchanged side for Tuesday nightās clash with Perth with City adding two youngsters to the selection mix. See our full team news. Last time they met City hosted the Mariners in Round 10 as a dominant first half from the hosts saw Ben Kennedy hold his clean sheet heading into the break. Ross McCormack was on hand to find the winner after 59 minutes as he netted his first goal from open play as City held on for the 1-0 result What was said Melbourne City Head Coach Warren Joyce "I know they have goals in their team. They mayĀ have a couple of injuries but they have some qualityĀ players who are capable of scoringĀ goals out of nothing so they are not a team to be taken lightly." Central Coast Mariners youngster Lachlan Wales āItās obviously tough when you lose experienced players but itās not an excuse,ā Wales said. āWe have to go out there on Sunday against Melbourne City, we have to win the game and the injuries will be no excuse. āIāll continue to back my ability. If Paolo decides to give me the start, I will take that opportunity with both hands,ā Wales said. Where and when Melbourne City face the Central Coast Mariners on Sunday at Central Coast Stadium, kick-off 5pm. City return home to AAMI Park next Sunday to face Adelaide in our final double header of the season. W-League kick-off 4.30pm while A-League kicks off at 7pm.

xXCiTyZeNXx Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 3 matches under 10 days. Hopefully Joyce uses the bench wisely and doesnt stress players out too much like Ross and Brattan as they are always starting and hard workers. Should start Budinski as well and have kilkenny bench at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
