I felt that way about Ondrasek too, although I'm increasingly coming to accept that he is a better footballer than the sum of his abilities. For everything he lacks in technique, athleticism, etc. he seems to make up for it in positioning and instinct. Will be a fine sub when Schick is back though.
And again we've followed up an early goal with a prolonged period of sort of sluggish unorganized play.
Still get the impression that Silhavy's master plan (as was usually the case when he managed Slavia) is to start well and take the lead, then sit back and defend for the rest of the game.
Wow despite all the covid trouble we went through, we might actually finish first. I am still upset it came to this. We should have beaten scotland at least once.
We played a bit better in the last few minutes than we did right after the goal, but we really need to go for a 2nd goal and start the 2nd half the way we started the match.
As long as beating them once means absolutely battering them at the Euros next summer, I'll be happy.
Koubek gets an early save, hopefully that will boost nerves/composure. Would still prefer we just not let Slovakia test him if possible...
Cerny is the winger we've needed for soooo long. Already done more in these 10 minutes than Masopust did this break.
Completely changed our attacking possession, can see where he is potentially a defensive liability as he really plays more like a 2nd striker. With Coufal playing well and the opponent being Slovakia that doesn't matter too much, but just something to watch out for in tougher matches.
Yeah, probably why Masopust is always preferred, but still, we've started playing with swagger since Cerny came on.
