Administrator Stan Posted June 14, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted June 14, 2018 that doesn't look good for Dzagoev, one of Russia's best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeem Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Akinfeev made his internetional debut 14 years ago. He is considered a legend in Russia but I am pretty sure he is a better guitar player than a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I already knew this from the qualifiers, but Saudi Arabia are still terrible at playing out from the back. If they were a bit more composed at playing from the back, they would be getting forward more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted June 14, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted June 14, 2018 Saudi Arabia constantly getting caught short when Russia break. Their shape is all over the place which is odd because it doesn't seem like they get forward in numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaaay AFC Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Shame about Dzagoev, looked so bright early in this game. Think he could have been top class, seems injuries have held him back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 If I were Pizzi, I would tell the team to go a more narrow formation. Whenever the Saudis get the ball in a lateral position, a bad touch makes them lose the ball and its happened on more than one occasion. That and to clear the ball. This playing out the back approach isn't working for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted June 14, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted June 14, 2018 2-0 Russia! Deserved! Cheryshev with great composure to double the lead. Thought they'd lost the chance with that weak final ball. Cheryshev did well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 That was an awful goal to concede. Not so much the slide tackle that led to the goal, but rather when Smolov (?) was making his run, there was no work rate at all from the Saudi Arabian center back.

Machado Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The pace difference is enormous between the two. The Saudis lack talent and speed. Everything about them is inferior really, no way around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Saudi are awful. They’d be better off going for it. Passing it between anyone in their own half is suicide. The football hipsters that tipped Saudi to win this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I have to say, I'm not all sold on Russia. They are playing against an open gate of a backline, and it does make me curious as to how much it would affect them to take Golovin out of the team.

They aren't better than the Russians as its being shown, but its not talent and speed thats letting them down. If anything the Saudi's are very quick, the issue is the lack of work rate and football brains. That defender fell asleep and they are not seeing that its not a good idea to play it out or really driving forward a lot. The defenders have no talent. Offensively they look decent.

bozziovai Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 not that high of a quality from both sides. it's like watching the bottom two in any league fight it out. i'm sure all of my saudi friend's faces look like this right now muwahahahhhahahhahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
