Meh. YB equalised. But how on earth can you allow an opponent attacker to stand completely free 3 metres in front of the goal :facepalm:

by elfmeter Tue Aug 16, 2016 9:03 pm

Maybe the young foals need to bring back some of them old defenders.

I wont jinx BMG, back to the Womens game...

by RealGunner Tue Aug 16, 2016 9:32 pm

I used to give Pardew shit for subbing a left back for a left back when we were 3-0 down Laughing

At least in Pep's case they are winning lol, still stupid though.

Gladbach finished this 3:1 in Berne. cheers

How's it stupid?

They need game time to learn the system because as we know inverted full backs has been a staple diet in English football in eons.

Damn, our strikers need to start converting these chances. The tie could and should have been decided today. Great performance apart from that. Oh and I guess we need a new goalkeeper.. he's a massive problem at this point.

Steaua

Still waiting on them to give the Balkans a team to compete in CL.

Didn't think this squad could play anywhere near that level.

I know we played a small team but that's kind of what we do all the time in our league.

FFS Roma's only left-back is emerson whoever is in charge of signing these defenders needs to get shot. Its amazing to go into a season with your oldest LB being a 22 year old rookie. Peres needs to come asap as well to have a real RB besides perma-injured Torosidis.

Well in Sabatini's defense, we actually did sign a LB, Mario Rui, who then ended up tearing his ACL, leaving Emerson as the only LB in this squad since Seck wasn't picked.

Peres won't be ready for today's game, but should be ready for the Serie A opener on the weekend. We'll just have to hope Porto doesn't target Emerson. TGIP has been experimenting with a 3-man backline so the lack of LB could be moot anyway.

I'm hoping for a 4-3 Leverkusen style. Midfield and attack are great but the defense is not there. I think it would be nice to play Juan Jesus at LB and Florenzi at RB for now so that your 4-3-3 can play as a 3-5-2. Juan Jesus can be LCB/LB and Florenzi is already not a real fullback so RWB suits him better IMO.
