Asunto: u21 friendlies

hmm nope..max until Monday/Tuesday..

yes, I thought so too. I wouldn't wait too long...

well, I had an offer from Portugal today and I decided to accept it as the Guatemlan coach still hasn't logged in.

We^ll play an u20 game, so it's time to discover the "next generation":

We still have a problem with the keeper, so I decided to give the youngster Ramulondo a chance, as his owner seems motivated to train him.

in defense we still are more-less ok, without any real stars. in modfield, we have two decent players Gqosha and his royal highness, but not a lot behind the two.

In attack, our hopes are on spandeel essentially as there are not much more decent players after that (at least not yet).

We'll keep last weeks tactic (without the winger) with Lethsoloyane behind the forwards:

1. Malcolm Ramulondi GK
2. Evans Hendricks DEF
3. Abraham Oerson DEF
4. Charles Raselemane DEF
5. Sam Barnes DEF
6. Myron Moeti MID
7. Arthur Letsholonyane MID
8. Matthew Lupiya MID
9. Louis Gqosha MID
10. Brad Mabalane ATT
11. Daine Spandeel ATT

12. Jan Walker GK
13. Edward Jansen DEF
14. Wiseman Poggenpoel MID
15. Samuel O'Connor MID
16. Sidney Rapeane ATT

Set pieces
Free kick: not specified
Penalty kick: Daine Spandeel

Conditional orders
1' red card or no player Arthur Letsholonyane on position 1
1' red card or no player Louis Gqosha on position 2
1' red card or no player Louis Gqosha on position 3
1' red card or no player Louis Gqosha on position 4
1' red card or no player Louis Gqosha on position 5
60' always Wiseman Poggenpoel on position 8
60' always Sidney Rapeane on position 10

if you have any other players I didn't see or different propositions, just say so!

well...the weaknesses remain the same the new season. The keeper seems a little better than the old one and his highness was a little disappointing as off-mid today..he has room fro improvement. and again we heve only few alternatives in case of low form, injuries or suspentions...

so the 1:3 defeat against portugal wasn't that bad ;-)

his highness was a little disappointing as off-mid today

How dare you. Such blasphemy :-)

hehe, but he really was, I might try him in a little more defensive role next time ;-)

He will get defense training first next season..so..

Should look like that at the end of next season

10 10
13 10
11

then I'll probably sell him as 4x11, 1x13 at 22y..

wow, perfect!

we'll play the same tactics agains Cyprus as we played last week, but I changed a few positions. Arthur his highness will play central def mid this time. as of mid, I'll try the new wonderkid MArci HAskins, despite his low pace (I contacted his manager, I hope he'll start by training pace...;-)). He'll be replaced by Poggenpoel afer 60 min. In attack we have som serious form problem. that's why Innocent D'Avray will make his debut after 60 min., despite low tech and pace. This gives us the following lineup:

1. Malcolm Ramulondi GK
2. Evans Hendricks DEF
3. Abraham Oerson DEF
4. Charles Raselemane DEF
5. Sam Barnes DEF
6. Myron Moeti MID
7. Marco Haskins MID
8. Louis Gqosha MID
9. Arthur Letsholonyane MID
10. Brad Mabalane ATT
11. Daine Spandeel ATT

12. Jan Walker GK
13. Edward Jansen DEF
14. Samuel O'Connor MID
15. Wiseman Poggenpoel MID
16. Innocent D'Avray ATT

Set pieces
Free kick: not specified
Penalty kick: Daine Spandeel

Conditional orders
1' red card or no player Arthur Letsholonyane on position 1
1' red card or no player Louis Gqosha on position 2
1' red card or no player Louis Gqosha on position 3
1' red card or no player Louis Gqosha on position 4
1' red card or no player Louis Gqosha on position 5
60' always Wiseman Poggenpoel on position 7
60' always Innocent D'Avray on position 10

Looks good. Good luck!

an easy and well deserved victory. I like it when our keeper has nothing to do....;-)

The experiment with the wonderkid as off mid was not very conclusive..he defenitely was too slow, but his other skills showed quite nicely. his highness made an excellent job (for once ;-)))

Superdivine form baby :-)

He'll get stamina next week, so he can dominate the whole match :-)

Nice win ;-)

Against Ghana tomorrow, I'd like to thest the same players as last week. So we won't change anything, same tacic, same players.

Nice victory and good luck for the next one

Same tactic, same players, but more powerfull Arthur :-)
