Subject: [NT] Cup Proposal

Ryan Isaac [11207464] was an interesting choice?

I couldn't choose between Nevill and him.

Anyway, my reign of terror is over and I will now gladly never comment on NT ever again :)

Indonesia - Cymru 4:1

see you've wanted a Welsh manager :) who is playing against a stronger team with 4 defs and 1def-mid :| ... he should play at least a 5-3-2 or a 5-3-1-1 with a winger ... it's a realy big mistake ... if i'll watch the game i;m sure i will find more mistakes :)

Well done, congrats on noticing a tactical error.

Perhaps you'd also notice that we had a load of injuries, not a great excuse, but I'm sure you would have won 100-0 or something.

Id say Indonesia are probably better than Wales and certainly have more strength in depth.

Better luck next time ddraig.

Steaua_FC, you have to remember NT teams like Wales and Scotland to some degree (especially Midfield) suffer from a samller amount of top players.

If you really want to manage Wales or any other NT side, don't diss the locals, would be a good start!

don't diss the locals, would be a good start!

+1

To be fair given a full team we should have won, our side is probably better at its best. Unfortunately, we didn't have a full squad and this was compounded by a fairly quick red card. I would fully admit, as I have done in the NT forum, that the tactics I chose were not the best.

We could definitely have done better, but I certainly don't like the attitude of Steaua_FC. He hasn't even looked at what happened in the game, and the squad we had available for it.

its always easier to comment on matches at NT level once they are completed isnt it.

I read his response a few days back and just thought "_____" you can fill in the blank.

If i knew Eesti were going to play 2 wingers so high then i would have played 5 at the back but i didnt but im sure people can say "you fool you should have played 5 at the back". Hindsight is a wonderful thing

At NT level or any top level, there is a bit of sh1t and shovel going. Somedays your the sh1t somedays your the shovel.

Your strength in depth came into it, or rather was exposed a bit. You just have to pick the best formation around what you have, what you see at the time. Personally a team expecting to struggle should attempt to crowd the midfield where the opposition is expected to be, at the same time try and keep a mid/forward available to give the ball to if its won depending on where its one. Have 4 or 5 at the back. 1 or 2 up front. Keep it Simple.

Obviously thats free advice for rtg!

In this case it was fairly even so you were entitled to go for it. Comes down to mentality, some would be defensive first always if its in their nature.
