Didnt see it, but I'm told that Barry and the English midfield were outplayed by the Dutch defensive midfielder, Nigel something or other?

Nigel De Jong

He plays for Citeh

I thought De Jong gave away the ball too often last night. He defended well, but like Hong Kong Fuey (sp?) at times but on a couple of occasions he didn't press around the edge of the box when he should have done. Barry had acres in which to line-up a shot but De Jong failed to close him down.

I want NDJ to be a success as I love the fact that we have a footballer who uses martial arts on the field, however, I have a nagging doubt about his ability to perform for us.

Nah, I decided half way through last season that I couldn't possibly renew this season. I've become a member and I'm just gunna apply for certain games I think.

Good thinking. Could use the money saved on a couple of euro aways as well.

Just remembered, Weren't Hull linked with Royston Drenthe last season maybe on loan from Real?

What's the chances of them going for him again seeing as it looks as though maybe all the Dutch players may be on their way out of the Bernabeau. I'd like to see Sneijder stay at Madrid out of the rest of them. I can't see him starting with a midfield consisting of Robben, Kaka, Ronaldo, Lass and Alonso.

I just can't see how madrids midfield will line up this season unless they go with one upfront. But then theres going to be atleast 3 unhappy strikers p.ssed at not starting.

if they went with one i'd be looking at

-------Lass----------Alonso---------

Ronaldo-------Kaka-------Robben

--------------Benzema

Im not too sure about Robben starting and think Pellegrini could play Higuain down the left.
