If McCulloch and Edu are both playing next week I think I will cry.

 

Of course they will. Like I said earlier, Ally will always pick these players no matter who he signs to play in that position. Managers have favourites!

Fair point mate.

 

I'm astounded Edu, McCulloch and Whittaker lasted the full game.

 

i fear the management think they are undroppable.

 

any shake up from the hour mark should have happened just to try something different.

 

we were far too predictable.

the amount of times we launched the ball just inside their half was shocking.

our best chances came from getting down the wing and creating from there.

 

The thing is, when we got down the wings our crossing was, more often than not, pish!

I refrain from giving our team too much stick here. It has played exactly one competetive game so far and was dealt a hammer-blow with Whittaker gifting the Swedes a goal. 19 shots on goal, 8 on target, with 3 of them sure to go in any other day of the week. Champagne footie like at the end of the season was not to be expected. Anyone thinking the Swedes to be a pub team were at last woken up.

 

People can do their little devil's dances about this or that player, the manager or what have you. Tonight simply showed the stupidity of having to play a team that is half-way through it's season (as was Kaunas). We were well off pace and accuracy, as any SPL or English team would have been (remember that Fulham only drew 0-0 in the Faroers a week or so ago, also a league that plays summer footie!). That was to be expected, that is nothing that can be switched on just like that, by no team whatsoever. And there was no doubt either that the Swedish champions had some quality in them. This will be a long week and we sure have to dig deep to get to the next stage. As I said above, on any other day of the calendar, Jela and Naismith would have buried their chances. Maybe that day comes as early as next week.

So as I said earlier in the thread a Walter mark 2, no subs, has favourite, team selections far to respectful especially for a mid table Swedish team, woeful long balls. I hope he isn't and finds out himself that players are droppable. Whittaker is one that might be more difficult to drop after Ally pursued him a lot to get him to re-sign.
