  1. Been playing with 9 men since KO, tbh. Only just got 10. Didn't see the first half but Colback hasn't been too bad second half
  2. You generally only notice the best attacking players when watching obscure teams unless you are really paying attention
  3. I'm happy for him and he seems to be a nice guy so fair play to him but it would be pretty boring if everyone just came in and said "well done " We are allowed to discuss the Dutch team if we like and it's clear that they don't have great depth if Anita after a decent game in the opener and being quite poor against Swansea (IMO of course) is getting a chance now
  4. Aguero should be the first player on everybody's team
  5. Not really when you look at the rest of the squad. And also its a provisional squad as Baba said Of course it does, it's the Dutch national team, not the San Marino team FFS. It doesn't matter whether it's provisional or a full squad, if he's being considered by the Dutch NT manager it suggests he is a good footballer, otherwise he wouldn't even be in a provisional squad. Must either have players missing or the standards have dropped in the Dutch national side massively Or the Dutch national team actually play football, something we haven't done in the entire team Anita has been here. You can't just say because it's the Dutch national team that it means he's a good player. You have to look at the rest of the players in his position in the squad and the quality isn't very good in the Dutch midfield

  7. Yes, thanks for asking. Looking at that bunch of midfielders they have it really doesn't
  8. Nigel de Jong isn't that bad really. In international football you can go a long way with 1 or 2 brilliant players. Robben was basically Holland's only attacking threat once Van Persie did his usual knockout stages disappearing act and they nearly got to the final
  9. Holland's strength in depth must be awful
  10. Read about that Midtjylland team Southampton are playing earlier. They were only founded in 1999. Their whole approach is based around stats and they have this massive database that ranks every team in Europe. Basically a Moneyball strategy. Seems to be working for them
