Nerves are really setting in for this now, bet I'm absolutely no use whatsoever in work tomorrow .
No idea what to expect, the Danes may well be a bit rattled after bottling it or they may be really pissed off and highly motivated. Regardless though we need to be on it from the off. It would be nice if we actually look like a team that wants to go to the WC and not the limp dicked dawdling around the park of the first 43 minutes against Greece.
Fucking loved how Young proper bust a gut to get to the ball to open the scoring. Cracking flick for Miller and he's just stuck in one against the tims.
I would actually like to see us stop being so committed to one formation. The Motherwell game is a great example, I would have been seriously tempted to change to a back 4 after 70 mins as we looked massively out of ideas and I didn't think it was just fatigue.
He wasn't great against well either jute which was also concerning but I had thought he looked handy when we saw him before. Fingers crossed it's just a coming back from injury thing.
Polvara would make a cracking no 10 imo. He's not the most mobile but he has good touch and awareness and defenders struggle with him when he gets in the box.
Too early to say on the latter imo and I suspect he was probably only meant to play 45 mins after playing 45 2 days ago. I think Gyamfi has potential 2bh but time will tell, he's defo not fully match fit yet.
My big fear with Gordon is keepers do often fall of a cliff quite suddenly when they get to this age. As experienced as he is I would probably go Bain and pray he didn't bottle it 2bh.
I don't necessarily agree we have zero options, I would like to see Clarkie, Milanovic, kjartensson and belalovic given more/any opportunity. Especially in games where we are clearly knackered and we look out of ideas.
Oh don't get me wrong, I recognise a lot of what you say about the post Hibs game, so close after Athens it was a really sore one to take looking so vulnerable to them.
Derek Rae has described Lutz as a big character and I think that makes for an interesting dynamic with Thelin who is the quiet geek type. It could well be Thelin is having some form of crisis of confidence and who knows? Maybe that is exactly the kind of person above him he needs right now.
I honestly wondered if he was trolling us taking them on when he did. The most bizzare thing about it all though is he has a very decent record at changing a game with subs.
