Fellaini & Witsel midfield
International Friendlies May/June
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
To be fair It was not our strongest defence or keeper. Only one of the defender does play every game... But we have been very poor since we qualified to Euros.
1-1, useless in defence Jędrzejczyk pulls one back.
Poland score 1-1
No, I think only Johann Gudmundsson nr 7, Gylfi nr 10 and Aron EInar Gunnarsson no 17 and Ragnar Sigurdsson no 6 will be starters in the Euros.
Strootman coming on.
Cionek.

Is Mensah in Dutch squad?
Great to see Czech Republic get a couple of decent wins before the start of the tournament. I was born there, so I'll definitely be rooting for them this month 
I think the Polish kit is the only Nike have got spot on, all the others they've made is with all sorts of weird colour combinations, not least that shite England kit.
Pazdan and Jędrzejczyk again.
What a bunch of kurwa idiots.

Benteke misses an absolute sitter 
Déjà vu.
Déjà vu.
Blind and Memphis not playing?
Yup, we actually don't have any experienced players now. I think Jarstein is the only 30 + player in the squad, oh and Tettey. After those we have Forren, who has only really played in Norway.Didn't see Hovland's, but Forren's handball was absolute idiocy, wtf?!
Pleased about the game in general, though. King, Johansen, Nyland, Ødegaard, Samuelsen, there's a lot to be excited about going forward
Wijnaldum scores, 2-1 Holland.
Nope. Was originally, withdrew with injury.
Blind injured, Memphis benched after a horrible match vs Ireland.
Two sitters essentiallyBenteke misses an absolute sitter
Déjà vu.
He is quite terrible.
De Bruyne and Vertonghen only good players today. Mertens as well as a sub of course.
Such a stupid mistake from Hradecky, who’s had a perfect match so far.
Lukakuuuuuuuu
Lukaku comes on as a sub and chests a goal in.
Think it was offside actually, not that Belgium wouldn’t have deserved a goal.
Feck off Wimots. Feck off central pairing of Witsel-Fellaini. They didn't even want the ball in the second half, completely useless.
Excellent save at the end.
It was, a shame for the goal as he’d had a superb performance til that point.
How did Denayer play?
The hell will Liverpool do with Benteke and Balotelli
Would you say it is your manager who is preventing Belgium from being as good as they should be?
Our defence wasn't really tested to be honest. And they still managed to score... Not very confident for the Euros. Denayer is fine for me but Vermaelen is not. In midfield we also miss Nainggollan in there. Up front we created plenty but we missed our chances.
Don't think he was really at fault for the goal, it was intended as a cross by Mertens so maybe he got caught off guard... Had a superb game otherwise though, yes.
Didn't have anything to do except for the goal when he went out wide. Think he could've done better, you need to block the through ball there and make sure the attacker plays a lateral pass but it was too easy. Still, him at CB next to Vermaelen is our best bet at the Euros.
Absolutely yes. Which such wealth both offensively and in midfield (arguably in defence as well although we've got a lot of injuries right now), we should've played much more attractive football at the World Cup in Brazil two years ago and even now, he's been with the team for so long and we still lack a proper identity. I just cannot see us beating any of the big teams (Spain, France, Germany, even Portugal, England or Italy) at the Euros. He's likeable and a great motivator, brought the group back together after a tough time but he's just not capable of guiding us to significant performances at the big tournaments, I hope he's gone after this summer.
Yeah it came as bit of a surprise, a good cross from Mertens. In the post-game interview Hradecky (the gk) said it was all his fault, should’ve at least been able to push the ball away or get it over the bar. All in all, Belgium didn’t look good considering the level of opponents. To me, Mertens did more as a sub than De Bruyne & Hazard put together.
@Cristiano_RAFC @RobinLFC Cheers guys. There was a report today he will compete with Sagna next season for the RB spot, I know he played there for Galatasaray quite a bit this season but I'm not sure if that's where he's best suited. You reckon that could be where he ends up playing or is he definitely best as a CB from what you've seen?
Belgium has got a huge problem with their defense.. Vermaelen has only played Wilshere-like minutes this year and now he's asked to start with the young Denayer?? Surely Vertonghen would be obvious choice when the EUROs start?
To be honest, I have barely seen anything from Denayer except from his Belgium performances which only included two RB cameos or so... He's quick and decent on the ball but still gets caught out of position too often imo. Only 20 years old though so can definitely come good, don't think he's ready yet to start in front of the likes of Zabaleta and Sagna though. For me, he's better as a CB than as RB, a bit like Alderweireld - decent in both positions but really stands out at CB, that could be Denayer in a couple of years. Would be weird to develop him at RB but don't think he'd get any chances as City's preferred CB in the near future...
To China for £60m for the pair my friend!!!The hell will Liverpool do with Benteke and Balotelli
And we're not paying them a penny less!
That moron David Gold will probably offer £25m for Benteke.The hell will Liverpool do with Benteke and Balotelli
With a name like that he shouldn't be allowed to play
Mexico 1-0 Chile. Mexico played like crap, but Hernandez came in for the last 15 mins and scored the winner with a great header
Chile had terrible finishing. They must improve that. Otherwise, the magic touch is still there. They look really strong.

Hernandez was clinical. Sanchez, on the other hand, can't hit a barn door at the moment.Mexico 1-0 Chile. Mexico played like crap, but Hernandez came in for the last 15 mins and scored the winner with a great header
