Boycie Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Flagman on the back. Goodness me, the ignorance of some peopleno, I want to pretend to everyone that I'm a close friend. I'm going to hang around the supports entrance and hope I can get him to sign my shirt before he disappears up into the supporters concourse area.

Ambitious Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Ive just watched the game from pool side in Vegas and I don't get all the hysteria that people throw forward. I admit that it was frustrating, but you've got to take into consideration that the Derby team had a full training session before that game and I thought the fitness levels were phenomenal. I will admit that Christie and Keogh on the same side do not fill me with huge confidence, but it's really hard to tell. We're well placed to replace anyone we doesn't cut it in the season anyway, so no panic from me. I thought we controlled the ball and the game, but they had the class to counter that when the could. It's a shame, but I thought the fitness, the quality of the passing and style of play was all in line with last season so I'm happy with what I saw. I'm going to put the laptop down now and enjoy the pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It looked a horrible place. I imagined mountains and beautiful scenery. It looked like a match played behind an abattoir in the piissing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Christie doesn't look as good as Wisdom and Toure doesn't look as good as Christie. I thought that was our weakest area. Dawkins looked miles better than Ward. However it's one game against a team that reached the knockout stages of the Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 People seem to be forgetting that the team tonight would have been training hard the last couple of days and would therefore be able pretty tired for this game. SMc has already said this is how he wanted to test the players, ie improve how they make decisions when tired. We played against a top quality cl team with players who aren't yet match fit and have been training hard for the last month or so. We couldn't have expected to win tonight and it might have been a different result if ward had scored. No need to be all doom and gloom, yet... Yeah, McClaren was asked last week if the game v Zenit would be the first sort of test and he said that not really. They want to play them tired because that's when mistakes are made. And they will slowly build towards the level they want. Slowly. Bit by bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Can't believe Keogh let Zamora score at the end, ******* disgrace BMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Good points : Kelle Roos - looked good although not tested with crosses Dawkins Not outclassed by a supposedly good team Bad points: We didn't really threaten Some hollywood passes from the back Sloppy at the back It was a bit boring. I nodded off at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yes. And your point is? They are hardly world beaters now are they. Someone said earlier they would be 5th~8th if playing in the Premiership. I'd put them around lower mid-table. We haven't played well today but this is pre-season. They are more advanced in their fitness levels but this game is merely highlighting what I have been saying for some time. We lack composure and ability in our defence. They reached the knockout stages of the Champions League. They finished above Porto and Austria Vienna. They only lost to Dortmund by the odd goal on aggregate. You think they are Stoke City.

sage Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It was the Zenit stiffs though. Let's get it right. Really? Every starter an international. I would say it was 7 out of their starting 11. We only had 8 of ours. & if we sign someone else good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 We didn't beat Champions League regulars featuring a bunch of internationals??? Board out, Schteve out, Keogh out, tits out, cock out, twist & shout!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine Tymoschcuk's 126 caps for Ukraine were before the troubles and those 3 years at Bayern Munich probably took his mind off it.
