That was just bad luck

 

[cyril]

I've seen him at stutgart, he was good nothing spectacular could never replace trezegol. I've also seen him with the germans, he sucked.

 

[Bozi]

i was astonished that he stood and watched as the defender ran in to head clear, he was favourite to win the header, just needed to tap it in with his head but stood motionless as his hooked sclaff was cleared.


but that does not make him a bad player by any stretch of the imagination, though that was so bad it was almost comical

He didn't even have to head it.

If he had just stood in the defenders way it would have gone in.

inexperience. He's only what? 21?

 

[HelterSkelter]

Plus he looks like Iaquinta.

 

[Ahmed]

hasn't been impressive at all in the Euros, especially his finishing...but I'm sure he's a better player than that

 

[Firestarter]

How close is Xabi to joining Juve?

btw where is Dusan/Dule?

 

[francesco]

Dont know if he has been mentioned yet but, ive been very impressed by Russia's Yuri Zhirkov at these Euro's. He plays at LB/LW and looks very dangerous when he goes forward. Also has a wicked left foot. I think soon enough a big club will snap him up, he is currently playing for CSKA and is 24 years old.

Has anybody else noticed him?

 

[Ibrahimovic9]

^I agree, he's been one of their best players.

Not sure I have'nt seen him online for at least 5 days

Does anyone here take note of whether full backs can defend?

Or are you only interested in whether he can put a decent cross in and hit a nice shot.

He posted in the Quagliarella or Huntelaar thread. Anyway, I think he's busy with school.

 

[Luca]

Maybe he decided to ease off a bit, it's not easy when schools on, it's the same with me. I think he just wanted to reach 10k first

i am a fullback myself and yes im always looking at how good they can defend. Just because i didnt mention it doesnt mean i havent taken note of it. He is pretty much a good all round LB, i mentioned his shooting ability because its something that stands out with Zhrikov. He is no Zambrotta (in his peak) but he certainly has the potential to be great.

 

[francesco]

he just made a rampaging run in a counter attack and set up Arshavin for Russia's second goal

 

[Luca]

I'd still prefer Srna even though he's RWB

I was just wondering.

Folk only ever seem to comment when a full back is good going forward, where defensive ability is far more important.

I'm not convinced about Zhirkov's defending. He relies too much on his pace, rather than good positioning.

Indeed.
