i think that spains biggest problem in the world cup was they had to many of the same in midfield and since they only played real strikers in the striker position i think they will need a direct player like raul garcia. allthough if baraja got back in form he would get it. also i think cesc gets more assists then inesta allthough both would do.kas wrote:I'll do Spain since no one else has:

not on midfield though. The hype around Royston, shouldn't obstruct sensible judgement.rai quagmire wrote:@ DD

Also a good team, I prefer yours only second to mine. I think your defensive midfield combo is too young.jonathan de guzman wrote:---------------Sar---------------

He's a great talent, but there's also a lotto be learned for him. At the EC U-21, he lost quite a few balls when passing backwards/sideways (we could have well lost the match v Belgium, becuase of his sloppyness.he did that at Feyenoord regularly too). That's a cardinal sin when you play with as many people ahead of the ball as Holland does.
So did Frenkie De Boer.jonathan de guzman wrote:not on midfield though. The hype around Royston, shouldn't obstruct sensible judgement.rai quagmire wrote:@ DD

My 'back 6' are used to playing together.DD wrote:Also a good team, I prefer yours only second to mine. I think your defensive midfield combo is too young.jonathan de guzman wrote:---------------Sar---------------

Drenthe LW wouldn't be a bad choice has he can lay those crosses to Ruud (and Robin) ala Beckham.
Why can't Van Basten do anything like the ones we suggested? Instead he's mucking about with Huntelaar and Maduro, Urby, Heitinga etc.
My line-up would play something in between 3-4-3 and Foppe's 4-2,5-2,5, in which Drenthe could be the 'fake left winger', like Hofs was at the previous U21 EC.DD wrote:So did Frenkie De Boer.jonathan de guzman wrote:not on midfield though.

I want Drenthe there (midfield) as he's a very good attacker, but good enough of a hybride to track quickly and defend when we aren't in possession. When we're in possession he can go in front. And he's still capable of bombing those crosses forward from the midfield.
Until last season Royston mainly played attacking left winger (ie part of the front 3 in 4-3-3), so yep was about to be expected.rai quagmire wrote:jonathan de guzman wrote:not on midfield though. The hype around Royston, shouldn't obstruct sensible judgement.rai quagmire wrote:@ DD

We can see him as a future regular , next season he will excel at Feyenoord. I did think he looked comfortable as a LB , even though he did join the attack in the early games .. so a move to midfield was on the cards.
Next season will be important for many players such as Boulahrouz , Donk , Drenthe , De Zeeuw etc
The only worry i have is the experience around the field.
