We're simply not going to be able to play a fast paced game with two central defenders and a deep lying midfielder (Stamenic) who move the ball at glacial pace. Galbraith for me has to play at 6. He's the only one who can set a bit of tempo. Tempo is absolutely everything at this level.
Matos is also starting to make the same mistake we've seen coaches make for years. You can't go with a midfield comprised of three individuals who all generally play in a central or deep lying position. They slip into bad habits and allied to the generally slow pace with which we move the ball forward it leaves your front three isolated and usually blamed for something that isn't entirely their fault.
They're getting the ball too late with defences already set. Ronald is not great at beating players one on one. When he's got two against him he's got no chance. Widell has shown the most pushing forward and pressing, so he has to play until Walta is up to speed.
They will never, ever understand. What's mine is mine. What's yours is also mine to spaff away on my voter base. That's how these people think, and it's killing the economy.
It's one game of several tricky fixtures in our run in. Victory or defeat won't be decisive one way or another. It will take a major leap in away form for us to finish top six, a leap which looks beyond us, bit we can only hope.
We're screwed if Vipi gets injured for any length of time before Idah comes back because we probably could have played some sort of Terrier type dog up front and it'd have contributed about as much as Cullen did.
Take the win. Move on. Hope Matos learns, but there are some worrying blind spots beginning to form.
Got slightly concerned about 20 minutes in. The pattern of play was beginning to mimic last Saturday where our lack of a forward thinking midfielder allowed the opposition into the game.
We've picked up since then though. Moving the ball quicker and some nice interplay back and fore. Key probably the pick of them again so far, with a belting goal to boot.
Give me a slick team move or solo mazy dribble over a long boot into the goal, which are arguably more goalkeeping errors than anything else. No keeper should be getting beaten from 40+ yards really.
Any day now the Iranians will use these superweapons and show the Americans and Jews what they're made of. A trail of destruction and sunken aircraft carriers is inevitable.
Bigger players like Joe Allen, Leon Britton or Nathan Dyer? How many big lumps did that team have in it? Although I guess most players look small on telly.
The most important requirement is that they can play football, preferably at a higher tempo than Stamenic has managed so far.
I certainly don't much like Trump and would never vote for him myself but there is a certain amount of hysteria that has always surrounded him when it comes to those who oppose his views.
If he'd just carried on in the way that US Presidents have done for decades then Venezuela would still be torturing and imprisoning political dissidents. Iran would still be funding and formenting terror throughout the Middle East. Communism in Cuba would not be on the verge of collapsing. It turns out that you can just do things if you don't give a shit whether people who are pre-disposed to hate you anyway like you or not.
Yes, he's a thin skinned, whining, self obsessed, narcissistic man child, but he's also shaken things up that needed shaking.
I watched some footage of a "wonder goal" scored by one of the kids that they're getting all excited about.
He ran through half a dozen players, none of whom even attempted to get much of a tackle in. It was like one of those solo goals you see scored by the star in football movies, except even more fake looking.
It seems like the plan is to keep bombing the regime until there's basically only the constituent molecules left, then use internal groups to take over. The Kurds seem happy to manage their bit of the country.
As I've said previously though, I'm not sure how many people with the will to step up and take over are left after Khameni had most of them executed.
He's played well over 100 games for the club at this point, probably closer to 200 and anyone who says he's looked Championship standard in anything more than a couple of dozen of them is lying. He's nothing more than an average AM, and usually much worse when we play him up front.
What he does have is an almost supernatural ability to score late goals, which convinces some people that he's a much better player than he actually is. So then he starts a few games, is almost guaranteed to be shite in them and then ends up back on the bench again. Then he comes off the bench and scores, and the whole cycle starts again.
We're going to be stuck with Cullen scoring 5-8 goals a season until the 2030's unless someone grows a pair and tries to replace him with someone who can score the 5-8 goals and play well too.
The standard at that level based on what I've seen is woeful. They may get promoted, but without a level of spending that would drop them in the shit for FFP purposes they're likely to be circling the drain again next season.
