Guranje Pokrivača u obranu je preglupo, bilo to na stopera ili beka. On je vezni igrač i točka.
Po meni bi najbolje izgledalo ovako:
----------------------Runje---------------------
-Srna-------Križanac------Šimunić------Čale-
--------------------------------------------------
--------------Vukojević--Pokrivač--------------
--Kranjčar-------------------------Pranjić------
---------------Olić-------------------------------
----------------------Eduardo-------------------

Ili to, ili da nam zadnja linija izgleda ovako:
-Srna-------Križanac-----Vejić-------Šimunić-

Sad, to je biranje između dva zla, Čale za kojeg ne znam u kakvoj je formi, ili Vejić za kojeg znam da nije u dobroj
Tako da bi, po meni, ova prva opcija bila optimalna i najbolji izbor od raspoloživog kadra. Jurića ne želim gledat u prvoj postavi, a ni također eksperimentiranje sa Pokrivačem u obrani (iako, znam, igrao je obranu i sve to, la la la, al jebiga, on je zadnji vezni i točka).

Pa zašto se nervirate bezveze oko Mandžatrona i Ananasa?

Ima prvo poluvrijeme - nek proba Bilić sigurniju varijantu. Odmah će se vidjet da li ide ili ne ide.

Čale na lijevog beka i Pranja na krilo - već smo dobili motoriku na toj strani igrališta.

Srna je propao kao krilo - jedina pozitivna stvar oko onog Čorlukinog crvenog što je zacementirao Srnu na beka - gdje mu je trenutačno i mjesto - ako se opet ne posklizne.

Nadam se da su Križanca prošli napadi bijesa gdje trči do centra za loptom koja je u posjedu protivnika!?!? wtf!?!?

Za Anasa se slažem - s Lux A. - da se čovjek skriva i nema ga nigdje u velikim tekmama.

Ali s druge strane - jedini je igrač na klupi koji ima i motoriku, i dribling za stvorit igrača viška - i šalje vrhunske duge lopte u kontre. Jedino iznenađenje za Engleze - ovo sve ostalo je više-manje pročitano.

Mandžukihno se može fizički boriti s Englezima, ali onda se on sam od sebe posklizne i padne na intelekt. Mada - jedan igrač ne može baš puno toga promijenit kad uđe u ekipu koja tako loše igra. Za to treba bit svjetska klasa - tipa Seedorf ili ako ćete mlađe - Kaka.

A ponekad - hebi ga - treba imat i sreće. Mislim - 2. gol na Wembleyu. Niko Kovač ispucava loptu preko glave - i svijeća pada ravno na Olićevu glavu... etc.

Nadam se samo da nismo svu sreću potrošili na Bjelorusiju. Gore igrat ne možemo.

Ostalo možemo samo reć: ''Eduardo - popizdi!!!''

Zanimljiv datum - 9. 9. 9.  - the number of the beast - a sad - tko će bit beast??

P.S.
E čovječe - baš ste zabrijali s ovim slaganjem Dinamove reprezentacije...

To će uvrštavanje Jurića sigurno Capellu zadat mnoge probleme

Ko je zvijer među vatrenim?  Ola? Ili će crazy Joe poludit 8)

Wayne Rooney 7

Missed a couple of gilt-edged opportunities but, even lacking his customary sharpness, is still England’s most dangerous attacking player and is relishing the freedom he gets playing behind Heskey. Fortunate to be awarded a penalty after fouling Cesar, although he did not dive.

Reče izvjesni novinar Timesa. Pa naravno, zar bi se jedan superpošteni Wayne Rooney ikada usudio baciti, osim ako u pitanju nije bacanje u bazen?!  Nek su oni Eduarda razapeli.

Dudu najebi im se mamice u Londonu. Neka izgubimo sa 5:4, ali ako Dudu da ta 4 gola neće mi ni poraz smetati. Što gamad radi od njega, to je nečuveno...

Ima tu stvarno puno kombinacija...

Objektivno je možda najrealnija : Runje - Srna, Križanac, Šimunić, Čale - Vukojević Jurić - Kranjčar, Eduardo, Pranjić - Olić

Makar bi ja rađe : Runje - Srna, Križanac, Šimunić, Pranjić (Čale) - Vukojević Jurić - Mandžukić , Kranjčar, Eduardo - Olić.

Meni se ipak čini da si ti ograničen i većina koja ovako razmišlja jer ne znaju kako se izvuć sa Wemblya pa se čeka rambo koji će sve "pobiti" i donjeti pobjedu a to je trenutno u obliku zvanom Anas !
E da istina je da je Anas već prošle godine bio spreman za reprezentaciju i da je mogao igrati u Srijedu , samo da mu je Bilić dao šansu da igra protiv Ukraine,Bjelorusije a bome i prvu protiv Engleza ali ne sada je on super zna se zašto da se ne ponavljamo !!!!   

Na poziciji Anasa Sharbinija imamo, Kranjčara, Rakitića, Modrića, može je odigrati i Pranjić, a po potrebi i Petrić, Mandžukić ili Olić!

A sad neka netko  lijepo napiše ispred kojeg od njih bi trebao biti Anas Sharbini?

Auuu, evo i Bilić kreće s udarcima ispod pojasa.

Fabio Capello has taken away your English fighting spirit, claims Croatia coach Slaven Bilic

Croatia coach Slaven Bilic has kicked off the psychological war ahead of Wednesday's World Cup showdown with England by warning that Fabio Capello's side have lost their traditional aggression.

Bilic brings his talented side to Wembley this week hoping for a repeat of the win of November 2007 that sent Croatia to the finals of Euro 2008 and cost Steve McClaren his job.

And the former West Ham and Everton defender claimed he has spotted a weakness in Capello's team that Croatia can exploit.

Asked about the change in England under the Italian Capello, Bilic told Sportsmail: 'They are a very different team. They have some advantages but they are also missing something from their game.
They are missing some Englishness, some of the things that have always made England teams difficult to defend against and play against.'

When asked to elaborate, Bilic was mischievously vague but it appears he feels England have lost a little of their robust edge.

He added: 'All I will say is that they are definitely missing something and we know what it is. But, of course, I'm not going to tell you now what it is. It's our secret.'

Bilic's team beat England twice in qualifying for Euro 2008 but suffered a sobering 4-1 home loss to Capello's team a year ago.

Croatia struggled past Belarus 1-0 in Zagreb in Group Six on Saturday night and Bilic must hope that England self-destruct again as they did in losing 3-2 almost two years ago, when a draw would have sent McClaren's team to Euro 2008.

Bilic added: 'The scar for them is there but unfortunately I can't count on that. If that was true then John Terry would never have got so close to another Champions League final after missing that penalty in Moscow.

'English players do not give in and give up and he was awesome against Barcelona in last season's semi-finals. This is a new game and they have a new manager.

'Yes, it was a big blow for them. But you all forgot it two weeks later when you had Manchester United and Chelsea playing each other.

'No, I don't think there is a fear of Croatia. We did not beat them 10 times in a row. But, having said that, we are the only team in the world to have done it twice. We did it one after the other and that's important.'

Croatia will be without injured Tottenham forward Luka Modric as well as club-mate Vedran Corluka, who was sent off on Saturday.

Nevertheless Corluka will travel to Wembley with his countrymen and is hoping for a repeat of two years ago.

He said: 'We didn't perform very well against Belarus, but maybe that's good. Maybe England will underestimate us.

'Under Capello they are another team. They have played very well and when they beat us here that showed what a big team they are. We will be outsiders but that suits us and we can get something.

'I know some people said we celebrated too much against England last time.

'But people in England need to know that to beat England at Wembley is the biggest joy ever because they are a great team and everyone respects them. That was why we celebrated.'
