Former Socceroos boss Ange Postecoglou masterminded the emphatic 5-2 victory over V-Varen Negasaki, the second match in a row where Milos Degenek's registered a goal, to move Yokohama into 12th position. 

After 15 games Postecoglou's side now have four wins, five draws and six losses, with some murmurs that pressure may be building on the Australian coach. 

It's been and up-and-down start to Postecoglou's reign as he attempts to impart his possession mentality on the Japanese side, with the Marinos' form considerably stronger in the J-League Cup then the domestic league competition.
