Montenegro Manager

He also stated we play long ball football, which is incorrect when looking at the stats.
Standard tactics of trying to upset us and put us off our game. All he's doing is making himself look like a bit of a mug and Roys having none of it.0 -
The media are making it seem as though we're playing Brazil.
Montenegro are 7/2 for the win, i hope we smash them.0 -
Way OTT reaction to this game, if we dont beat Montenegro we don't deserve to go anyway!
They aren't good, it would be like Charlton playing Spurs last season when we were league 1. I'd expect England to win 9/10 and draw the other0 -
They've got some decent players, and it'll be a hostile atmosphere, but we should be winning these games.
However, we should have beaten Ukraine at home and Poland away, but we didnt. It'll be a tricky fixture but i reckon we'll win 2-0.0 -
Agreed that the media are making this fixture to be harder than it actually is. Good on Roy for actually coming out and saying that he's not sure why everyone is lauding this as the big banana skin.
Guarantee that the media will still rumors straight after the game about how Chelsea, Man United, City etc are trying to buy Jovetic and Vucinic - when in reality, hardly anyone gave a rats arse about them until this game came up!0 -

Pretty stupid trying to arrange fixtures that clash with the playoffs. Writing the opposition's team talk.0
-
To be fair to him Jovetic is a decent player from what bits and pieces I have seen of him, but no way is he a game changer, we should beat them 4-10

I dont really see how arranging a friendly for then can be seen as arrogant?
Pretty sure thats an International Break in November anyway, so if we have already qualified then we will require a friendly. If we havent then the game with Argentina is just postponed.0 -

That was my thinking too, but I guess it could be misconstrued?ValleyGary said:I dont really see how arranging a friendly for then can be seen as arrogant?

The population of Montenegro is only 600k, it's ridiculous how good they are and that's not even taking in to account how long they've played as a single country. Only the media is being arrogant to them, although the pre-qualifying stage bollocks on here was pretty arrogant IMO.0

Agreed. When you have a fixture that requires international travel and a potential crowd of 90,000 you're going to need to make arrangements early on.ValleyGary said:I dont really see how arranging a friendly for then can be seen as arrogant?

Vucinic and Jovetic both very good strikers be interesting to see how they do, ex- Man City defender Savic in the team as well. Won't matter whatever the result as England still have no chance of winning the World Cup.0

Savic is terrible0
-
I don't think Montenegro are as good as people are making out.0

Where is Kezman0

Well if that's the case then I'll stop going Charlton as we're not going to win the Premier League next year.forzajuve_27 said:Vucinic and Jovetic both very good strikers be interesting to see how they do, ex- Man City defender Savic in the team as well.

Good point, well made. In fact why bother with the tournament at all, lets just give the trophy to Spain to keep and save an awful lot of money...cafctom said:

Not if they keep drawing with countries like Finland.0

Kezman played for Serbia and Montenegro (one team), so the question was not that unreasonable.0 -
Yeah but where is he?
Edit: Thanks @SheffieldRed0 -

Poland away we were cack and were lucky to escape with a draw, they should have buried us! Montenegro are no mugs and if England don`t put in a shift they will lose!ValleyGary said:They've got some decent players, and it'll be a hostile atmosphere, but we should be winning these games.

Assuming you're referring to my recent thread, San Marino's defeat was their 51st consecutive in qualifying matches. Right there in that stat is the reason for suggesting that they may not be suitable opposition for 'mainstream' international football (for want of a better expression).Friend Or Defoe said:The population of Montenegro is only 600k, it's ridiculous how good they are and that's not even taking in to account how long they've played as a single country.

You take a different view, which you are entitled to of course, but my view is nothing to do with being arrogant at all and to suggest that teams like them are up to playing fully competitive internationals is also bitb*****kspatronising not?
Montenegro are of course a different kettle of fish and have a long history and players playing in the top leagues in Europe albeit their population is very small.0
