Nix V Mariners Sat 22nd 5pm ft 12 Pubs of Lochhead

And they aren't even decent crosses!  They are pussy little dinks! Eat and drink for any centre backs!

"That was very poor from leo bertos"...

Nux are holding it together but to me still looks like a Mariners win...65 mins

 Will Ricki take off a defender and put on an attacker ??

Fark we are terrible...and when can we see the last of Bertos.

Early angst: I'm sorry but it must be down to poor coaching, why persist with all of these crosses when we obviously don't have the players to convert. If the players aren't listening to the coach - that is also poor coaching.

"Our front three is only 15 feet collectively"...

Which performance is more dreadful this or v Sydney?

 hard to tell the terrible performances apart nowadays

 Boyd and Fenton have done quite well overall. Only positive I can find.

 ricki will find half a dozen

We need to stop losing.

we need to stop deserving to lose

Bloody crosses! ;-)

Yes - Sanchez

 this could be the greatest draw ever, lets celebrate

Thank you Matt Ryan.

 wtf was Ryan thinking? Suicidal stupidity.

MOTM = referee?

I think Manny might have been our worst player today

 what a snorefest that was. well played ladies

Ill take the draw,  couldnt see us getting a point once CCM had scored.   I like Totori he makes things happen

 What is wrong with you whiners? You came prepared for NIX SUCKS and you continued seeing it when it wasn't there. You really thought "losing to the bottom-placed team" was as bad as a performance where we drew with the league leaders?

I thought the Nix played great today, apart from that awful muck-up which gave CCM their goal. Boyd and Fenton showed their worth, Totori silenced the doubters, and Leo showed flashes of his own form. If I were Matt Ryan I would hang my head in shame. The Nix are at least TRYING to do that whole "total football, run the ball out of defence" stuff. True, the goal-scoring magic ain't there yet. But I see a base for expansion.

Oh, and bringbacksmeltz? On behalf of all ladies footballers, a hearty "screw you" for your sexist little comment.

Actually got excited in the last 5 minutes. I'll take the point but nothing can change the fact that it was a lucky goal. 

Totori should start.  Only player who is willing to run at the defence and try things.  Also knows how to cross the ball.  A point isnt a bad result vs CCM but wouldve been nice to get a win.  oh well, until next week,

Nix: 2day, 42 balls into the area.

So was CCM's.

I wonder whether the START TOTORI mob here can get into a fight with the SACK TOTORI mob.

Agree.  I'm not his number one fan but I have to admit he was impressive today.  I'm not sure he'd be so damaging if he started.  Keep him coming off the bench running at tired defenders.

Assuming we get the ball to the far post.  9 times out of 10 our crosses don't make it past the near post.

We played okay in the first 2/3. Top 1/3 was poor again. Crossing doesn't work if we allow them enough time to get 5 into the box. Run into the box, look for late runners. Edit: Low Pass Cross. Score. 

You see it happen week-in-week-out in the EPL. 

N.B not saying our league is as good etc but the tactics work.

I don't watch live streams, but a friend of mine (who isn't me) does, and just saw Graham Arnold picking his nose on live TV. Gold.

Coulda been worse. Good to at least stop the rot. Snachez is back!
