soulboy 2,513 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Just noticed Ajax are playing a friendly against Borrusia Muchengladbach just now. So since we've had practically no euro football for 5 years except this seasons disaster and Leipzig would it not benefit the players to get to play against different styles across europe.

BridgeIsBlue 66,498 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Because that would make too much sense. Just like hiring a manager during the international break made too much sense. We never ever do anything logical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 We've zero ambition, that's why. It's something we should 100% be doing. The youth set-up had the vision and foresight to do it. We could do it international weekends, even the odd midweek when the rest are playing European football. Not loads of games to bombard the players and tire them, but maybe 2 or 3 fixtures against decent opposition which would benefit us. According to a Rangers official recently there's loads of teams looking for a game of football against us (this was in relation to Benfica game in Canada getting cancelled and us looking for another fixture ... to which we chose Morton at Murray Park which sums the club up to a tee) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose244 2,618 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Different styles? Our players struggle to work out how to break down Hamilton, Kilmarnock. I'd rather they learnt to beat the dross we play against domestically first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,430 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 They struggle to play against the same style every week never mind confuse their wee football brains playing against teams with ability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shrink repeatedly, show no bravery, pride or shame in losing to pub teams consistently, and can't even muster a reaction to being humiliated every other week. They will be irredeemably shite until they leave, meaningless friendlies or none. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 We have some ridiculous friendly tournament in January, against Brazilian opposition. Total waste of time, barring a decent holiday for fans -but of zero use and risking fatigue and injuries for the season after the break. I doubt we need more needless games.
