chicken 0 Posted August 2, 2013 Wonderful piece of skill by Fer, don''t care that he lost it in the end, good to see that he has good feet and a bit of sparkle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 2, 2013 Braga were ranked 29th by UEFA in 11/12 and 12/13, they drew 0-0 with Hull last week and play Newcastle next weekend - they are pretty decent. No idea what side they are playing against us in terms of first choice XI, but their new season starts the same weekend as ours so they should be building their intensity right now, and you''d imagine it was reasonably close to being their best side.

Downloads 35 Posted August 2, 2013 [quote user="Monty13"]Yep, we look noticeably less composed on the ball since Hoolahan has departed.[/quote] That''s a shame as ''Che''s right hand man'' has told us Hoolahan''s time is up and he''s barely going to play. Going to be a long season lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 2, 2013 Can''t keep the ball at all so far this half.Looking a bit of a mess, really. Better to discover this now, I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scooby 0 Posted August 2, 2013 Well I''m glad people are saying its the formation. I missed the first half and his second half is pretty woeful. We''ve hardly touched the ball and they''d all over us. Mmmmmm.Wish I''d seen the first 45. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty13 2,173 Posted August 2, 2013 I would have liked to see how a central 2 of Howson and Fer would have played, think that might be our only chance of a 442 that can actually play the ball around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty13 2,173 Posted August 2, 2013 Fer was fantastic, it;s only my opinion but I think he was the best player on the park first half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
