Player to watch: Alou Kuol
We added Kuol as the player to watch in one of our previous articles concerning the Mariners and the striker didn’t disappoint. He did well in the match against Melbourne City, as he constantly threatened Hearts’ shot-stopper.
Second player to watch: Jay O’Shea
With two goals and an assist since the start of the season, O’Shea is proving to be a valuable player for the home side. Despite being a humble midfielder, he seems to be very involved in the goal-scoring part of the game.
