Birmingham City vs Derby County Matchday Thread

I had a coach who used to say "football is a simple game, often played by idiots."

The main example of that is our constant inviting of pressure onto our back four. Always turning back, always looking for the backwards pass. As the opposition forwards charge at us around our penalty area, instead of playing the ball long over their heads, we try to thread a difficult pass through them. Once we've done that we turn round and play it backwards again.

But giving away so many throw-ins in our own half against a team that specializes in long throws is another example I've pointed out earlier in the thread.

The next is assigning Nathan Byrne to mark Jutkiewicz at corners. You.cannot.be.serious. But sadly we are. 

Come on Derby! There is still hope.

Sorry is this a joke? What are you basing "best and most successful freekick takers on?" Surely the players with the most freekick goals are the best and most successful. In terms of players still playing that is Ronaldo and Messi - nobody else gets even remotely close to these two.

Ronaldo one of the best freekick takers in the world? Is that a joke?

He scored like 2 in about 3 years, and considering he has played in an attacking team near the top of the table and takes all the freekicks, he’s probably had over 200 attempts in that time.

Idiakez scored more in one season than Ronaldo has in about 5 seasons
