Asunto: [U21]LaBamba

Also our problem in today's match was the low PM of our MIDs..I can live with the bad defenders but our MIDs really struggled and lost a lot of balls beause they couldn't make a decision due to lack of PM.
Kalaka played very well, but you can see PM is his biggest problem. Lingard made some nice passes, but with his combination of PM and technique I might have to give more opportunities to Burton Felix. What do you think?

edit - I've checked and all the MIDs are trained in PM and pass this season so it should be better soon..
(editado)

Kalaka will get PM-Training starting this week!

I picked out much the same points.

Kalaka had a great game, getting better as the match went on, while Lingard was getting caught in possession or sending passes astray.
I didn't think Felix did much when he came on though, so can't say on that which is better.

Season summary:
World cup qualifying didn't go well, finishing 5th of the 6 teams, but the overall results of 8 wins in the the season (6 losses), 28 goals scored versus 22 conceded was good.
The median and best average team marks for the season (49.6/52.2) were the best since 6 seasons ago.

Well done. :)

Are you reading these topics waitig for somebody to mention Kalaka? :-D
I know, I've checked your mails, PM/pass this season, perfect for him ;-)

Also Lingard has the best stamina so he really has to play the whole match unlike Lehoko..so I can't really change anything. Anyway Lingard will get PM training this season too, just like Kalaka, Felix and Lehoko.

WCQ is dissapointing for me, but I went through some of the matches again and we were pretty unlucky in some of them..especially the loss against Ukraine (that we led 2:0 and lost inexplicably after Ukraine got 2 red cards) and we could steal some points against Bulgaria and Greece..
It's dissapointing because except the weaker strikers we had "once in a generation" team last season, that we probably won't have for many seasons again..
Looking back Group B was not one of the easiest groups really, with even Moldova recording close to 60 mark. Group C for example looked much weaker on paper..
We have to get better rankings to get higher postion for the draw, but that will be tough..

hehe, no, I am reading these topics from time to time because I think some are interesting discussions and there's a lot going on compared to the size of the country in sokker ;-)
And of course I am wondering about the u21 with Kalaka playing there!

Thanks for the votes, let's have a great season!

Gratz and good luck ;-)

Yep, congratulations. :)

Looks good for more than a few wins there. :)

We're currently ranked 60 with 1384.91 points.
Let's see where we end up after the season is done.

60. is my record so far..I don't know how high we have to be ranked to be seated n.4 at the WCQ draw, may be around 50-55. If we win most of the matches may be we can reach that..

Well mathematically it should be 64. So may be if we can keep this spot we can get the 4th seat...that would be a nice goal for this season..we would at least get more favourable teams for the WCQ.

Btw. teams behind us in the rankings: India 9 votes in the elections (147 users), Costa Rica 16 votes.. We are only 3 spots away from country like Indonesia who has 470 users..

Preview against Al Maghrib (Morocco), this time with new special feature:-)
