Asunto: National Team

So who are we up against tomorrow? What's the plan and how many goals will we win by?

We'll use U23, so Esala will play if not injured.

I was going to play U21, but strusm told me, that he has too weak players in that category.

Should be a good game.

Should be a good game :).

:)

Argh..Newhill transfered to Jagiellonia, from my league. Haha, going to meet him against my team..;)

Happily his form got up, at last!

The game starts in few minutes.
I'm going to try again 2wing setting, with Zdrilic['45 North] and Timpano.

GK without a surprise - Ando of course.
Defence - I'm checking how will Broxton work in the center, in the position when he was playing 2 seasons ago in NT.

ATT - didn't had many options.

Augerinos['45 Hirons] + Richter

And last change, Collina on 55 for Baveas.

nice win there :).

I loved the way Timpano played today!
He wasn't kicking the ball as fast as possible, but he was going calmly to the corner of field, ad then making an airborne pass.
Zdrilic was playing very nice also, though North...don't know why, but he had problems with passing, as he couldn't target forwards.

Defence has done well, though Broxton must be used on the wing, as he has too low defence, and his pace isn't used as much as on the wing, where it is crucial to get to winger as fast as possible.

Centre mids - all are too slow I think...Baveas had some problems with accuracy too. Though few nice dribbles, tackles, through passes...

About forwards - they've done well, though...they were 22,21,20yo, not 23yo.
Hrehoresin is only forward in that age, and he was injured.

Interesting things:
1st assist of Widera in his 20th match in NT.
1st goals of Augerinos in his 5th game.

A good game, quite interesting to watch.

Go Sokkeroos! :-)

Ando had an unreal game. Saved a penalty and many other chances.

I think that's what we can expect, from such a good keeper. :)
And he played against young strikers, who propably don't have a big shooting ability. :)

Also the first time Augerinos has started and gotten a rating of 50 :).

edit: Was only his 4th game in NT btw borkos :p
(editado)

83 for Ando... isn't that a lot?

It is. Though his record is about 88-90. :)

and the mundial record is 94 i think :P

He still can beat it, only 22yo. :)

yeah xD

Howarth managed to equal his best rating aswell :).
