American Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Will someone tell me what is wrong with starting Matteo in midfield? Has he been bad? Have we been leaking goals like a seive with him there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeChuck Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Will someone tell me what is wrong with starting Matteo in midfield? Has he been bad? Have we been leaking goals like a seive with him there? Have we been playing decent opposition with him there? Has he played well there before? Did Leeds recognise him playing there was a major problem? Has he got the attributes to be a midfielder? Blah Blah Blah Matteo = Rubbish in Midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Leeds' problem was not him playing there as much as him being their best defender and playing there. Guess what? He's not our best defender. (oh, and do you EVER sleep LC?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blah Blah Blah Matteo = Rubbish in Midfield While flicking through the Sunday Express today I noticed an article, part of which was Souness talking about the new players. In relation to Matteo, Souness said something about how he could play in midfield when we play away, suggesting that he won't be a starter in midfield at home. If anyone has bought the Sunday Express they may be able to give a direct quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhben Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 On teletext it says De Pedro added the second! I thought it was Stead! Who actually scored then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob fleming Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Just got back. Good to see we won 4-0. Also good to see a lot from this messageboard again. Also good to see Manchester Blue again and get his name totally wrong In my defence, I was, after all, very, very drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool_Rover Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I was 100% sober at the game after a major session in dublin on friday night! And yes you was all very drunk, was funny. Every 5 mins someone fell over and nearly pushed me down the hill. The funniest moment was the rovers fan who started chasing the young irish lad in the united top! The poor lad ran a mile!

Did you get his name wrong, or did you just not pronounce it like you're part of the aristocracy? Thats the way he likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 How did Gresko did in central midfield last night (to anyone who went)...? In the words of Souey; "I thought in the second half Vratti was excellent in the centre of midfield... he was exciting and never gave up tackling or chasing the ball, maybe I should have tried him in midfield last season?"

Alan75 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Maybe if GS had read this message board last season, he'd have seen that a number of posts suggested playing Gray and Gresko down the left. Gesko acting as a left sided midfielder though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueboy Downunder Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 certainly not. it will be tugay and fergy in the centre of midfield on saturday. vratty's position is left back and this tactic of putting him into midfield was nothing more than an experiment, just in case it might be needed during the season.

Also good to see Manchester Blue again and get his name totally wrong In my defence, I was, after all, very, very drunk. 4-0, was there a game on? Semi recovered now after a liver transplant this afternoon. The boy Fleming's fault. Bit daft really going all that way and not being able to remember anything about the match. Hope everyone who went had a great time and got back safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you'll get a lot of answers. From the sounds of things, the match was merely a disruption to one fantastic imbibing fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nephew plays for them, well the reserves, can you believe that Hendry sarted a brand new season with Simon Grayson in the centre of midfield ?! He is also, quite interestingly for those who wanted him at Rovers, encouraging long ball football from the first team right through to the youth team. My nephew is a centre half and he has been told to hit the front man as early as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
