If Koevermans HAD to go off, then that was the best we could have hoped for with the players we had available, and it didn't really change the formation, just the players within it.<br /><br />I'm all about results, I grew up watching shit football, so I don't need that attractive, exciting football stufff. It's nice, but it's very secondary for me.<br /><br />so yes, agree to disagree works for me. Will they prove us all wrong in Dallas?

I would have expected that sub maybe in the 70-75th min. Once again Winter decides that turtling with a lead is going to work. I laughed out loud when i read the giraffe comment.

Appreciate the way you saw it and there ...@ Duncan<br /><br />Appreciate the way you saw it and there is merit in trying to preserve a lead but in my eyes - the 45 minute mark was just way too early. By taking of Koef, they eliminated any plausible chance of scoring a 2nd goal and I just can't buy into that style at home.<br /><br />Pumas are a good club but we have been dominated far worse at home in the past and still tried to play our game. Leaving it up to us to go into Dallas and steal 3 points is far too risky in my opinion.<br /><br />As far as Harden, his poor clearance led to the corner that led to the goal. But...no way was he more responsible in the back than the rest of the "defence". We will have to respectfully agree to disagree on this one. Hope they prove me wrong in Dallas. At least we always have Soolsma/cat humour.<br /><br />Cheers mateThe Yorkieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08568393518199620055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725246264694414315.post-65235817134035158742011-09-28T00:55:36.558-04:002011-09-28T00:55:36.558-04:00naaaaaah. can't agree with that one at all. w...naaaaaah. can't agree with that one at all. with all the players out, taking on pumas toe to toe would have been suicide. we played a classic underdog kind of game, keep it tight, get some luck and take a chance when you get it. There's no shame in adapting your tactics when against a better opponent. christ, everyone's always complained that winter doesn't look like he knows what he's doing tactically, this was a good game from him in my opinion, showed he can do something different rather than stubbornly stick to the same plan.<br /><br />also I thought Harden did really well in the middle of the back 5 (and even in the first half, I'd say it was a back 5, with eckersley in the centre, and stinson at right back).<br /><br />I'll happily take an ugly point over a pretty loss.<br /><br />love the soolsma joke though.
