And does this / should this form a basis for team selection?

View Full Version : If you were a Croatian defender, who would you least want to play against? higgins 20-11-2007, 18:53 And does this / should this form a basis for team selection? Heyesey 20-11-2007, 18:55 Any coach/manager worth his salt would tell you that you should do what the opposition least wants you to do... higgins 20-11-2007, 19:10 and on that basis who should he choose? growler 20-11-2007, 20:35 Theo walcott his pace and directness would cause havoc.

ReginaldD 21-11-2007, 14:29 I suppose it depends how tall you are at my current height (5,8) I'd have to say I wouldn't fancy my chances against Crouchy. As growler said Theo Walcott would definetly be a handful, put him and Crouch together the defenders wouldn't know what had hit them Heyesey 21-11-2007, 18:06 Well, it's a moot point. Since we only need a draw, we won't be attacking anyway; we never do in this position. Doesn't matter what team MacLaren picks; doesn't matter what he tells them to do; the players know in their hearts that "Croatia 0" sees them through, so they'll spend 90 minutes defending. The question is, will Croatia score early enough to give us time to rearrange things and try to get back in the game? briggy1967 22-11-2007, 01:12 Ball didnt hit him on the shoulder tonight did it igm when he controlled the ball brilliantly and scored a cracking goal.

Constantly headed the ball back to the opposition, watch the game again- you'll see. And 'certain people should be banned from posting about football'- sod off.

Don't ask me, ask McClaren daftlad 22-11-2007, 18:33 Yeah he did one useful thing, but the rest of the time he was crap. Constantly headed the ball back to the opposition, watch the game again- you'll see. And 'certain people should be banned from posting about football'- sod off. When you are on about people who were really crap last night, there are people like Bridge, Lescott, Lampard, Gerrard, Campbell and Carson. Whoever voted last night and made fat frank man of the match, was never watching the same game as me |
