I don´t know why he continues with Galca....why not a chance for Costin Lazar? One of the best in the Romanian league in that position.

If Robben, Cocu and V.bommel will start we are the favoriets. Without them (robben injured in next Chelsea match and Marco van Bastens choice to play Sneijder and Landzaat instead of Netherlands 2 best midfielders V.Bommel and Cocu) I think its 50-50. THe netherlands are a little bit overrated at the moment and Romania is a little bit underrated I think.

Cant wait for the match :thmbup:

 

Yeah exactly if van Basten would play with v Bommel and if he would recall Seedorf for example it would much more difficult. Makaay is injured and V Nistelrooy is in bad form. And i have my doubts if Robben will play. Holland didn't impress at all with the way they played until now. But they had good results but that's all. We are defenitely a match for Holland. And we can win.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Barcelona), John Heitinga (Ajax Amsterdam), Hedwiges Maduro (Ajax Amsterdam), Wesley Sneijder (Ajax Amsterdam), Rafael van der Vaart (Ajax Amsterdam), Martijn Meerdink (AZ Alkmaar),

When these players arn't starters its oke. And I know robben is selected but he still can get injured agaisnt Cristel palace tomorrow.

 

Against Holland I´d play with:

------------Lobont------------
-------Radoi--------Chivu
Contra----------------------Rat
---Ghioane--Codrea--Plesan
-------Oprita--------Pancu
-------------Bucur

 

The next week could be one to remember if Steaua goes through and we beat Holland.

Cocu is in a very good form also. Normaly Robben should be able to make it but for some reason i dont trust Chelsea to let him go and saying he is still not fit :rollani: RVN is getting a little bit more form now, but he always need many matches to get some form back :rollani:

To bad for us is Chivu's return.

 

Cocu is in good form but i don't mind if he plays. His best times are over.
And for Robben he came back very quick for the kind of injury he had. I think there's still a big chance that he won't play. Especially after he already came back too quick from an injury and causing him a new one so he won't rush it even if it's for a game with the NT.

 

Against Holland I´d play with:

------------Lobont------------
-------Radoi--------Chivu
Contra----------------------Rat
---Ghioane--Codrea--Plesan
-------Oprita--------Pancu
-------------Bucur

That leaves too much work for Razvan Rat and Contra to run back and forth like that. Plus, Codrea and Plesan aren't very good and leave attacking options limited.

BTW; Lazar? WTF, that was a pretty random choice for that list.

 

Yes, I know but with Mitea and Petre in a bad moment (especially Mitea) I think that Contra and Rat could be good offensive weapons from their positions.
I´m a Plesan fan. I think he´s very useful to attack and to defend.

About Lazar...Well of course it would be a risk to test him in these games, but I meant Piturca should think in these young players more than veterans like Galca.

 

Plesan sucks nowadays. Watched him on Wednesday and will watch him tomorrow as well. Cristocea's better than him right now and so are a lot of others (Tibi Balan would be another example).

Let's see once more:

-----------Lobont-----------
Ogararu - Radoi - Chivu - Rat
--Contra - Ghioane - Cernat--
----Oprita ------- Adi Ilie----
------------Gigel------------

 

Can't have Cernat playing behind Ilie like that, it ain't his style.
I'd still put Pancu in there somewhere but apart from that, your team is alright.

Balan is quality. I haven't seen much of Cristocea but the newspapers talk well of him.

 

Cristocea is OK, good by Divizia A standards. I've just used him to make a point that Plesan is crap right now.

I like Plesan too but unfortunately he's too much out of form now.
But otherwise they should defenitely use him.


I would play like this

Ogararu----Radoi-----Chivu------Rat

Contra-------Ghioane---------Cernat

--------------Pancu----------------

-------Oprita----------Bucur--------


With only one striker deep i think it could be hard against the defence from Holland.

 

Marius Niculae and Cosmin Barcauan were left out of the squad, Piturca considered that they're out of shape

Good decision.

Now if Piti would only forget about Galca!

 

hmm... word up... Niculae will help us sooner or later, im sure

i dont really care about barcauan... and Iono whats up with Galca

 

I don´t think Galca can help the NT anymore. Piturca should think about other younger players. With Dorinel as veteran is enough.

 

if we lose i will not have a meaning to living anymore...

If this is the final list then it is good for us. Except for Robben, that can really hurt us, the rest of the midfield is weak for a team like the dutch. Those Ajax players are in very low form and Maduro is too inexperienced.
And having Babel in the attack is similar to us having Keseru, it seems desperate. I don´t know why Romeo Castelen(Right winger) is out but it is good because he is dangerous.

 

I woulnñt drop so many players considering there are 2 games in 4 days, including a trip to Macedonia. So we should keep our options open.

 

Yeah I think we have a good chance to win them!

 

they played a 0-0 draw in their last friendly against england, and romania usually beats england. not sure that one can compare a friendly with a real game but still, it gives me high hopes...

 

if we lose i will not have a meaning to living anymore...

Cheer up son! Anyway if we play badly and lose, then we deserve it. I'm curious to see how the team will play under Piturca.

TOTAL CONCENTRATION!!!TOTAL DOMINATION!!!TOTAL VICTORY!!!
HAI ROMANIA!!!
