Neil Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 As much as Stoke are abysmal to watch, you have to admit they're damn good at the defensive side of things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 As much as Stoke are abysmal to watch, you have to admit they're damn good at the defensive side of things. They're playing 8 defensively minded outfield players so you'd like to think they would be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Aye, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll work so well as a defensive unit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Kazan 2-0 up now, Christian Noboa with the goal. Spurs still 0-0, 50 minutes gone. Hoping they nab a win, just for my bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The classic European away performance tbf to them so far. Defend with little attacking in away games, BOMBARDMENT at home. Might just work, you never know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 After wiki'ing who that is I very much don't approve of Rapid, Steaua and Dinamo Bucharest not being the Romanian representatives in Europe all the time instead of these new teams who I've not heard of.

Guest Stephen927 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Shocked that Viana is only 28, seems like he's been around a lot longer. Gan on Hugo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I see Hugo Viana is playing, anyone know how well he's actually doing these days? Canny well in the 5 games I've seen him play since he left Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I see Hugo Viana is playing, anyone know how well he's actually doing these days? Helped get them to the final last year. Finally found his level after a bit of journeymanship I suspect. Ridiculous how much Brum's teams changed, few in there I don't recognise at all. Has the Europa League ever seen a more dignified manager in the dugout? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 None of them qualified through their league position. Brum got their via one good performance (CC final) and a lucky run, Stoke got their through a lucky run (Cardiff, Wolves, Brighton, West Ham and Bolton) and one good performance (Bolton) and Fulham got through due to the fucking Fair Play League. Not bitter at all or owt... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Birmingham seem to have a extremely different line up from last season, only names I recognise from 10/11 season are Carr and Ridgewell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
