colly was quality at right back. you cant be "wasted" anywhere on a football pitch. having a good striker or left mid is as important as having a good keeper or right back or whatever. if rb is his best position, then he should play rb, imo. its a bit different to play someone out of their natural position if you have a ready made replacement for the position being vacated.

enjoyed the game, played in a great spirit.

again, while my original boards link in with poker, i probably post on soccer more. and with that in mind, and the absence of a "natural striker" for the soccer forum, i'd happily pull on a sky blue jersey next time out. don't think i'll make 8 goals difference, but might be something to consider???

True, but for example playing Nicolas Anelka at centre back would be a waste of his talent, even if he could do a good job back there! To use some poker talk, if a few moves (positions) are +ev some are more +ev than others

No worries, I was thinking there was no way you could put pics in a paper of a match where one side was wearing t-shirts, sure get them up when ye get a chance anyway, looking forward to seeing them

Unlucky Lads,

I couldnt make this one, and am gutted I didnt get a chance to school Xavi in the art of passing and boss midfield. Next time lads.

Ye're going in the right direction though judging by the comments comparing this match to the last.

Whens the next one on lads? asap please.

Next month sometime I reckon.
As Chooper said to me yesterday no point having them so close together all the time or people will get sick of them

Night sweats. It was horrible.
Then I went to the jacks and missed which made it even worse....

Iago

really sorry I missed this but will hopefully be around for the next one. Might be worth organising a regular 5-a-side in DCU or something in the meantime. Would help fitness and first touch/passing.

LeixlipRed

I'll hopefully be in for the next one as well.

I'd rather forget yesterday ever happened tbh...

Personally I was reasonably happy with my performance, slept like a baby and didn't hit the lid either when I woke up

Enjoyed the game yesterday, obviously the result was a bit of a soul destroyer especially with the four they got in the final third.

Looking forward to the next one. Wouldn't mind having a spell in goal (I'd be pretty brutal at kick outs, but was always in goal during P.E. in school lol)

semibluff

yeh the two lads in the middle kept the game as close as it was. After 5 minutes it was pretty obvious to us that containing them and stopping them get free or too much time on the ball would prevent you's ticking.

You's shoulda had one or two goals, we got a few very lucky ones - so don't let the scoreline take away from the fact that it was a good competitive game. Thanks lads

Perhaps but Colly actually IS a RB. So by your analogy it is more +EV to leave him there.

If there is a match arranged for this Sunday I am available to play for the soccer forum. I'll be off work and have nothing planned...I'll keep an eye out on this thread.
