Good morning.
Apologies for resuming normal service. Maribor eh? Word has it a football match broke out. One foul-up, 3 goals and a Street Fighter 2 Turbo move from the Ginger Ninja himself that was worth the price of admission alone. The fat may well have been well and truly chewed out by now, so I would simply add the following:
Hugo was spritely, Walker was unconvincing despite the low scale oppo, Awesome Dawson was moderately awesome, Verhonkytongts was quality, Naughton looked every inch a bloke being played out of position, Azza was his default setting of ‘a bit underwhelming’, Carroll was a shining star, Dances With Cake was sluggish, Bale was frequently causing a disturbance in the force, Ade was doing decent impressions of a good footballer and the Midget Gem was a non stop goal machine.
Hurrah.
Luis Martins said something to Andre Villas-Boas that later that evening he immediately regretted.
In case if you didnt realize, we have been playing a 442 all season, while defending defoe and dempsey have been pressing, when we have the ball, dempsey dropped into the hole. We can do the same against citeh, with ade who will be extremely motivated dropping deep and defoe banging goals. The thing with thos formation is that both cb’s will be busy, which will not happen with clint who hasnt really got into fulham form for us. This way , the cbs cannot cover up for bale and azza and they wont have the ball playing cb , which most teams have for both cbs will be busy and dude nastasic is one of them. 442 away to city is the bes way to go, cos it will highlight the areas where we are most potent i.e wing play and counterattacks.
p.s hope carroll starts and sandro is fit:)
