Matchtracker: http://sportsresultater.tv2.dk/livestats/index.php?id=253181

Jerry White starts alone up top, Benny on the (short) bench.

 

So is Benny playing?

 

Yep. as the 1 behind the striker in the 4-4-1-1

 

Thanks. Interesting that he is playing so high.

 

Really odd to see Benny playing up top as a second striker, he hasn't seen much of the ball at all-

 

I've noticed this a lot with Hejduk too

 

Benny with a terrific block to save a goal-

 

Benny shapes for an overhead kick off a cross from the left, ball goes beyond him, and his strike partner fires a good one time strike that tests the keeper.

 

I think a 0-0 against leader FCK at halftime is pretty good so far.

 

So how have they each looked so far?

 

AGF just giving away possession. Benny could be utilized much better simply with a few balls played to his feet. Launching long balls to a defender and central midfielder playing striker is a bizarre strategy. Obviously AGF must be in a desperate situation, but I am surprised they don't keep the ball on the ground a bit more...

 

But they are very lucky to be tied.

 

AGF have no central midfield to speak of, Benny is desperately needed on this team. FCK has had at least three chances where they should have scored. One of the misses was absolutely criminal.

 

In retrospect, a scarlet letter was discreet.

 

Benny with some great footwork to win a corner in 50'

 

White with a nice move down the flank, but his corss is headed over.

 

White works his way inside and takes a shot just outside the box but it is blocked.

 

White tries a left-footed shot from outside the box but it's blocked out.
