    I mean, great strike, but our hardworking defensive midfield literally stood near midfield during the restart. Can't even put this one on our defense.

    Exactly. This was the case during qualifying. He scored a goal in Montenegro and then assisted the winning Ondrasek goal against England to solidify his starting spot.

    We seem confused as to how we want to approach this game, as if we can’t decide if we’re preparing for Scotland or England and it just looks awkward.

    I also think Boril is becoming the next weak link after Masopust.

    I actually sort of have Kral as the weak link in the first half

    Agree with that. I was more so considering his spring form, but Kral has struggled in both these friendlies.

    There’s never not a mass confrontation with a Balkan team.

    Sorry for our player's heatedness.
    But what's doing Coufal there? Pushed our coach to the ground. Should be yellow.

    We are known for our temper. Very emotional people.

    I saw your coach also got knocked down against Wales too. Very odd for that to happen in consecutive games.

    I would take a substitution just for the sake of it at this point, don't even care if its a good one.

    Good preparation for Scotland in that regard.

    I had a feeling Hlozek was more likely to replace Jankto than Masopust. I'm actually okay with it since it tries him on his preferred side, but he can still make a claim for the wing position.

    Holes for Kral is completely fine considering the last match and a half.

    If Masopust can actually play like this (or at least have enough key moments) for the next month, then he can start, but I've seen this before. Still he is MOTM today at this point

    I can see a Bekim Balaj equalizer in his former home.

    It's a shame thst our coach keeps calling up Balaj. He's past it. 3-1 now.

    3-1. Nice goal by Celustka and good to see two heavily criticized players of late producing.

    Been calling for him to start, but Barak has been very poor since coming on. The laziest player out there.

    Considering everyone talks about his offense, Hlozek took to his defensive responsibilities very well. That is supposedly his liability when not playing as a striker.

    Pesek assist, between this and his Scotland goal he may have the best Goal contribution to minute ratio on the current squad.

    He was highly touted when he arrived at Sparta, but really never accomplished much in our league.

    Yeah, I was impressed with his defensive display, although it seemed to prevent him from being more involved going forward. The belief is that Masopust is preferred for fulfilling his defensive duties, but Hlozek made a strong claim that he can be relied upon there.

    I still don’t expect that change however, and think Holes could possibly replace Kral. Might not be a terrible idea right now and would help release Soucek’s offensive threats.
