FC Utrecht Build up this Thursday away

[Pablo]

That has to be the slowest midfield in the world

Lucas better show some creativity tonight

Sadly we're on ITV4 not Channel Five so Lucas will be ****.

Why the **** isn't Meireles playing?

And drop Poulsen?!? Are you mad?

[Baracus]

Kelly - young CB, converted to RB, playing LB
Johnson - great attacking asset but looks totally lacking in confidence
Jovanovic - get the ball and run as fast as possible with as straight a back as possible until lose possesion

basically - i'm thinking, best tactic we have is a quick accurate throw from reina to coles feet, cole to skin someone and play through torres to score.

Yep best tactic yet. Reina as the sweeper new 'Quarterback'

[Mattshark]

Ok They don't, which I think is bollocks. I guess we'll once again see a masterclass from all 3 in passing and ball retention like we have done over the season

Did I say we would see a master class? I said they they don't often misplace passes and they don't have a poor touch. Nice misrepresentation.

[Pablo]

Just another reminder in case anyone forgets:

6PM KICK OFF!!

That isn't really true. While Lucas and Poulson aren't the most progressive passers, to says they misplace a lot of passes is simply bollocks. They simply don't.
None of them have poor touches at all.

to true Matt, very hard to misplace 10yard sideways and back passes.

Somebody text this to the Hodge. It is certainly an improvement on our tactic so far of letting the opposition have the ball, watching them knock it about and increase in confidence as they progress towards our area, throw in some harum scarum defending and rescue with a long hoof up the park (repeat for 90 mins).

[Baracus]

Yes, well done on the misrepresentation there. Can't actually address the argument so make another one.

A possible way to address the argument in this case is through statistics and we all know statistics can be mis-interpreted.

Through observation alone you can tell all 3 have poor 1st touches and poor ball retention skills and are poor when it comes to starting attacking threats. But then again Observation is subjective. So it is MY opinion that's what they will do.

I dont think Lucas has a poor touch or poor ball retention skills although piss poor when it comes to starting attacking threats.

Lucas is neat and tidy, but ulitimately offers **** imo.

at the Northampton game I watched the players warming up. They were playing keep ball. Lucas was by far the best at it and looked to have great touch and quick feet. Shame he doesn't show this off enough in the actual games.


Oh and Babel was easily the worst, almost every time his first touch was so bad he gave it away

Why the **** did you have to go and that for

[Pablo]

Why the **** did you have to go and that for

You'd have watched it anyway, no matter how much we say "sod it I'm giving this one a miss", most of us still end up tuning in anyway. Absolute gluttons for punishment
