Noone said he is good offensively but boy can pass and keep ball. Apart from Zeka all our midfielders are good enough at slowing the game's pace, which was Santos and Rehaggel strategies for over 10 years, and guess what, they worked. It even worked pretty well vs Belgium twice and Bosnia as well.
The problem ain't lying on the players amigo. The problem is lying to the other teams that have stepped up their game. There is no chance the 4 year ago Northern Ireland , Sweden , Iceland would even make it to the play offs or even to the WC.
They re gonna decline at some point same as us I suppose. I just hope we take that opportunity and step up.
Missing the Euro is no excuse though.
