I can't see anything other than a loss tonight , I have had many trips to Sellhurst Park & can't remember any wins . Free hit to try new players I guess
Disappointment for Gabby Sara last night as Galatasary were eliminated in the final Champions League Qualifying round by Young Boys. No doubt he'll get another chance to play in the Champions League proper next season, by which time his team mates might have learned how to play with him, rather than round him.
I didn’t see last nights game but what struck me was him playing in a central midfield 2 with Torreira. Torreria seemed to be much more of a proactive high presser rather than a sitting defensive midfielder, which left Sara often sitting a bit deeper and not getting up with play so quickly. It was a bit like playing him alongside Nunez rather than McLean, they didn’t seem to have the balance yet
Norwich Ladies v Ipshit Ladies. Tonight at Carrow Rd. £6 adults, £1 kids I'll try and find a stream and post it if I find one
Much the same last night from what I saw of the game. And some ugly scenes at the end -- not Gabby's cup of tea at all. Young Boys were deserved winners.
One certainly, and before England really got going with a passable impersonation of Thorup's intended Norwich City. According to WhoScored, 48% of play was in Finland's defensive third and only 9% in England's. Consequently Finland registered only two shots, just one in open play, to England's 22 (17), and 227 passes compared to England's 832. It was a good example of the domination Thorup aims for, based on ball retention and field position.
Abu Kamara starts for Hull tonight against Sheffield United, playing on the left of the midfield 4 in a 4:1:4:1 set up. Sheffield lead by a single goal at HT but are comfortably the better side. Abu has shown a good turn of pace but Hull have shown very little in attack. On the evidence so far, I'd say they may well struggle this season. Blades add a second on 60 min; another breakaway goal, scored by substitute Sam McCallum, who looks to have beefed up considerably since the end of last season.
