What is Majer supposed to be good at?
Internationals June (Euro Qualifiers + Nations League Finals)
- Thread starter Samid

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Quickly, what channel is this on (in the UK)?
Nevermind, Channel 4. You lot are useless.
I don't know if I saw it on here but I remember reading about an idea for a phone app, which alerts you to any penalty shoot out happening in world football.
I'd download it.

Nothing
Not penalties
Perisic hit that with his right, the man is the Ronnie O'Sullivan of football.
Wow..
Only just put the game on for pens but Spain's squad on paper looks quite weak.
Terrible pen.
perisic laughing aswell…
Spain win...
Great competition. Terrible winners.
awful game then the wrong team wins
Feel for Croatia, that midfield has been dragging them for so long but they simply have nothing up front. I think they could have won at least 1 big title if only they had a single good striker. Alas.
Thank god that's over.
Utter garbage.
Utter garbage.
Majer is our most overhyped player ever. Guy is utter dross. Useless.
Pretty much how this football year has been all around, so i expected Croatia to lose today, following the pattern.
I was convinced that we would lose on penalties but good to win a trophy, a small one but a trophy nonetheless.
I don't like de la Fuente very much but the national talent these days is what it is. Let's see if it gives them a bit of confidence for the qualification.

It's a weak squad overall, that's why Morocco knocked them out last WC, some of the same names that were eliminated by Russia in 2018.
The 2008-2012 generation was an anomaly for Spain, not gonna happen again.

I'm off to OT tonight for the England game with my own two kids (who have been to the football/OT loads of times to watch United) and my step kids who have never been to a football match before, and who can't sit still for more than 5 minutes without trying to wrestle or kick the shite out of each other.
Going to be a long night.
Going to be a long night.
Are you going to boo City players? Oh and good luck, sounds like you might need it.
I just have to ask. How does Spain end up in teir 1 after being last in the last campaign against England and Croatia?
To be honest, I'm not even that big of an England fan, but my kids wanted to go, and I said i'd take my missus kids with me.
I'll watch the big tournaments with my mates and get into it, but qualifiers and friendlies I'm not really bothered about tbh, so I'll probably just go and watch a game of football with hopefully a few goals and hope the kids enjoy it.
If you see any aggro in the NE Quadrant upper tier later, it'll be me knocking feck out of my missus kids.
There was no relegation that year because they extended League A to 16 teams.
Never watched him prior to last night I reckon?
Oh come on now.
Šutalo is great too so probably a Gvardiol Šutalo CB partnership for years to come with Erlić in backup who's young to. Problem is our forward line which isnt as good as defense and especially midfield but there are some forwards emerging, like Beljo who's playing for Augsgburg. Even at midfield we're set cause Majer is young and there's also Sučić from RB Salzburg who's their main man and only 20 years old.
Watched him for Croatia more than 5 times.(still not amazing sample size of course) Seems like a perfectly fine rotation player for you worth 10m, at most 15m, with zero end product on his final pass/cross or shot. Seems like none of your compatriots agree with you. And it's not like he is 19 years old and we should expect him to be much better in 5 years time. Just seems odd that you rave about him, when you have about 8-10 better players at least. If he was your top2 player it would be more reasonable. Or maybe he is great and it is just bad luck he has been average, or below, in the games I have seen. But question remains, what is he good at?

Oh dear. Hope it is a good game. I watch any football.
One post in which I asked you if you watched him is me raving about him?
Ok.
Has a good pass and shot in him, creative and nice technique about him, solid backup player in midfield for now, only 21 years old so will be a 1st choice midfielder in the future for NT. For instance he was solid in the semifinal and okayish yesterday, but far from what is he good at or he's trash comments.
Exactly my thought, fell asleep 2 times during the game.
Google tells me, he is 25. If he is 21, again, I would understand. Thought you were the guy with at least 5 posts about him, maybe it was someone else.
I stand corrected. Nevertheless he has good 10 years ahead of him.
Yeah, it was someone else.
I dont think we needed, Livaja or Petković can play as a true strike, or Kramarić but you're right about posession. We have a midfield which can or should have most of the ball, Perišić is a true winger who bombs down the left side. Pašalić is a specific player who thrives in the last 3rd and has a great feeling for a goal, not a true CM or an AM, something in between, really useful player. But if we would choose a false 9 kind of play he'd be ideal.
And Majer should start at a right wing, has a good dribbling and a nice long shot with his left, really talented player.
Saying that Gvardiol broke his nose yesterday and had a concussion.
You could be 0/2
You needed to dig to December to prove your point.
You seem to have a lot of time on your hands.
2 of those are about how he should have been subbed in and how he'll do a job in midfield and one about how he should starg in some game. If thats me raving about him then you're right, I cant stop raving.
Took less than 30 secs. "We should get him", or "there is life after Modric" in your midfield would still be odd comments if he were 20/21, obviously more so when he is/was 25/24 at the time of writing, that's probably why I happened to remember those comments. But yeah, I think this subject has ran it's course.You needed to dig to December to prove your point.

Long time ago, yes.
Well, i watch him regulary as you do.
He is (more or less) same level as Vlasic, Coric, Rog and many other our midfielders who stand out as young players (because of silky touch) so we overhype them.
He is average player. That is why he is between first 11 and bench in Rennes. On one good game for NT, come 5 where he is average at best. Yesterday he was utter dross.
If he will play more in future (in Modric's position), we are fecked.
Rashford starting for England, as are Shaw and Maguire. Squeezing Trent in midfield is definitely the right move for england imo, he can swing balls in from there, just balance it with Bellingham in for Henderson (and replace Maguire for Tomori) and you have a very nice looking side... Still will play negatively under Southgate, but almost there where it gives you a chance at least.
