I think on reflection today, I may be being harsh on Burfoot A-Stan. I think what I was looking for was penetration through the middle of the field and there was not really any and thats kinda his role as a playmaker that sits a little deeper. I guess that he didn't have a bad game but was he effective? He didn't lose the ball and knocked it around but it reminds me of Declan Edge teams where its possession and there is nothing more than that.

I got in before the queue and I must say I was surprised at that as well.

Tade - it was evident that he loves the smell of his own shark in the 1st 10 mins. He didn't get the ball in the right place and tossed his toys. A throw in didn't go his way and he tossed his toys. You don't need to be an expert to know what puta means in Spanish and he pretty much called every person on his team that and the ref too which is ballsy. I think he needs a massive reality check in that 'yeah you have talent and can play but if you were as good as you think you are, you would be playing somewhere else'. The young RB is slight but has a ton of skill and compusure. He was not phased one bit today and reminded me of Doyle on the FU tour where his composure against better players betrayed his experience at that level.

I thought Ridenton did a good job if making sure that Ivan had no effect on the game as he sat higher than Rufer. I thought it was one of Ivans poorer efforts today and he seems to be having more of them at this level (sans CWC performances). I think part of that was what Ridenton did on him.

Interesting you mention the counter attack Chubbs and being susceptible because that back defensive central triangle of Ivan then Billen and Berlanga are not fast footballers. Maybe Weenix did their homework and just decided to pressure and run at them when they had the chance. It was certainly obvious when Blake took off cause that boy is fast and Iwata, whom is also very quick, had issues keeping up and he didn't have the ball. They just ran and ran and ran so maybe their plan was to always play them on the counter figuring to try beat them in a foot race and force them to foul or go past them.

The unfortunate thing with this league is that games involving ACFC and I guess TW are going to be good watches. If one of those sides are not playing, then you are looking at a snore-fest really.
