LOI in Europe 2022

[paul_oshea]

And there you see the reason why Rovers are so desperate to keep Alan Mannus for another year. Pohls isn't good enough for LOI let alone European competition. Rovers had started brightly enough, albeit its clear to see who are the better team.

Agreed. Good save there though

Shirt tug without a yellow card there. Well I never Stu...

Didn't see which incident that was, but Ferizaj absolutely 100% should have been booked. Let's draw a line under that.

Farrugia pulled their left wingers jersey outside our box. Free given, no yellow. Same as you'll see in games all over the world every week.

Was it the "Blatant and cynical hold stopping a promising attack" in the coaching video I linked?

Cos Ferizaj's was.

We disagree on what constitutes a promising attack I think! We can draw a line under that at least.

But you also disagree with professional refereeing guidelines on what constitutes a promising attack, so...

Jays, big let-off for Pohls there.

Think he may have been a bit unlucky as he won the initial challenge only for a Djurgardens to get the second ball as well.

[paul_oshea]

He's too hesitant he doesn't know when to come and he should be coming

[paul_oshea]

Djugardens aren't anything special. There's a lot left there for rovers to go and prove themselves as worthy group stage contenders

Better performance away from home for Rovers. Something to take into next season. Think I predicted them to get a couple points/draws before the group stage commenced, so not too bad of a campaign in my eyes.

I don't think so. "the key here is that these considerations (speed and space) relate to a promising attack which has the possibility of becoming a goal-scoring opportunity, and not simply every forward movement."

Are you on the edge of your seat when Sam Todd has the ball in his own half and goes past one man? Seasons must be rife with excitement.

Yeah, first solid away defensive performance since Hibernians, so that's something.

1 goal in 6 games is poor and will be a worry. They didn't really make the keeper work tonight I think, and similar could be said of previous games.

Did Djurgarden change their team around tonight? Heard the commentator say of their last sub that they were bringing on a forward they expected to start and taking off a guy they expected to be on the bench.

Still, an easy €4m, so the challenge is to build on that next season.

Literally the piece before that quote is -

Speed – The player(s) is (are) moving forward with pace in their attack.

Space – There should be green space in front of the player with the ball to dribble, pass or shoot and/or green space in front of other attackers would could receive the ball.

Options – Either the player with the ball has options to take on a defender or has other teammates to which he could pass the ball.

This applies, and the video example is very comparable, so yellow card.

Leave it go...

It was a fairly strong starting djugardens team

[Straightstory]

Decent performance from Rovers. But only one other team in ANY European Competition (group stage) this year has managed just one goal. (Copenhagen)
