We had one guy, Bradley, whose touch and decision-making seemed less keen than usual. People can hail or damn Klinsmann all they want, but the midfield is the engine room and we are lacking the parts. We need guys who understand space, how to find it, be available for the ball, control it with a first touch, then pass it to another guy you already decided on before you even received the ball. Unless Klinsmann can find guys in midfield with that kind of touch and awareness of space, this IS our plateau, happyscrappypluckylucky warriors punching above our weight until the real heavyweights put us on the ground.redscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311167473555575509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-88696921201558801202014-07-02T11:20:27.756-04:002014-07-02T11:20:27.756-04:00Vouch.

I mean, who can bring a 1st rate EPL footballer like Lukaku off the bench.<br /><br />Also too you should now turn your formidable Baal-taunting efforts, as effective as they have been (the 2002 MD exception notwithstanding), to the Nats.
