Subject: NT vs Shqipëria

2008-06-21 12:11:58
He's still gay :)
2008-06-21 12:20:21
think Connor enjoyed his pace ;)
btw Matt, if you want to read about gays, just read the mod forum more often ;)
2008-06-21 12:21:02
far too many gays there thats for sure :P

Well other than Grey's stupidity that went quite well I though :)
2008-06-21 12:24:26
Agree, only the Defensive MID should stay a bit lower I think :)
2008-06-21 12:28:38
hmm, what to say :P
After losing Grey so early, I guess a I cant complain about a 4:0 win. The loss of grey did hurt us somewhat and I was also a lil dissapointed with coward as he shouldnt have been tackled so often but that must've been down to those rdm tackles that succeed I guess.
I also wish I did go with the offensive wingers now as our strikers ran straight into their defenders so many times.

Could've been better but overall, a win is a win I guess.

Only 4 - 0

Think shqipëria (ooh I hate that name!) didn't played to smart, to centralized and I think vogue played a lil bit insecure; 4 defenders, 1 defensive mid ? What for?
I think we proved again that we have a solid defensive line, or don't you agree ?
To be honest, I think we haven't played good at all. If you play with a defensive mid against a team like this then you should play 3-1-3-2, with 2 WIDE (for crying out loud !) wingers. Don't be scared playing wide, we still have 2 central midfielders left and 3 'very solid' defenders.
With wingers I think you would've doubled the score (wide and offensive wings to be precise !)

But, can't blame you anything, you've won with 4-0 and dominated (even tho' we both sucked) the game in chances, ball possession,... Congratis

Oh and btw, use your substitutions !

haha, I just pretty much sent that message to matt via mail but shorter :P
I completely agree with you. I chickened out of using wingers and agree we could've doubled the score if I had.
Being only my 2nd NT game, I just didnt wanna screw up so I went for security over getting more goals, which tbh I should've went for the more goals.
We live and learn though and after watching that game, I have learnt :)

I really wasnt worried about our defense getting in any trouble though so the idea of playing him a lil further up was to create more chances, I think that part actually worked out quite well due to grey being sent off. If he had been even further back, our offensive throw ins would've been a nightmare with every throw in going straight to one of their players.
With coward so far up, he actually recieved a few throw ins himself :P

Don't get me wrong, my English isn't so great and that's why I perhaps sound rude or mad. I'm happy you understand the problem of today's game. But I admire the fact, or appreciate the fact that you want the best for Cymru (a win) and indeed that results into a defensive tactic, ...
I hope you'll use some different tactics in future friendlys using wide wingers (offensive).
But still congrats, that's 2 in a row. 1 more and guess who's treating ? YOU !
2008-06-21 12:41:56
nono, I dont think you were rude and as I said I completely agree with what you wrote :)

As I said, I pretty much sent a mail to matt saying the exact same thing you did but alot shorter just before I read your post :P

I shall not make the same mistake again playing too conservatively against teams we should beat comfortably :)
2008-06-21 12:43:22
Just a bit of trust into your defensive line.
2008-06-21 12:47:24
That wasnt the problem. I dont wanna go into too many details on a public forum due to prying eyes for future games but I shall find a way of doing tactics that involves players with no defending :P
2008-06-21 12:48:06
:)
2008-06-21 13:17:32
Lammens, 3 defenders on NT level is mostly suicide ;) Unless you are top 20 against bottom 20 ;)
2008-06-21 13:26:27
3-1 = 4 defensive player or 3-2 = 5 defensive players.
I think you're wrong (^^).
This isn't Belgium ! :)

PS: Cymru isn't Indonesia, Cymru has quality (ex. defenders)
