Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Better to get it out of the way asap. Looking forward to this game. Obviously its tougher opponents, but its still about getting match fit at present. Winning would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Isn't it a different stadium to the CL Final one anyway? And I'm sure Terry will be fine about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I hope this provides a sterner test than previous games, looking forward to it, think we will edge it in an even match, 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandicoot 3 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 This will be a lot harder than our previous 3 matches, really looking forward to this one. Gonna be really interesting to see who Scolari starts with. Tight game but I think we can edge it 1 or 2 -0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the matches will take place in one day...'' Sevilla and AC Milan play before us. And then the final and 3rd/4th place games take place on the Sunday. This is going to be the most interesting game so far, Scolari will set up for this game with Pompey in mind. Also will be a very tough test for the players and hopefully we will get AC Milan in the last game to really test us. Then there is a long wait for the start of the season.

Yup going to be some competitive games now. Kenyons Shirt Selling Asian Kick-a -Bout Tour is done, and during the break Kenyon can go and open Abramovichs wallet and use the shirt money, to sort out this Robinho nonsense.

Lord 0 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 to this railway-cup (what a stupid name) Railways are the sponsor of Lokomotiv. This team is playing very well now. Such players as Bilyaletdinov, Sychev, Torbinsky, Сocis (played for Romania) played in the past EURO. AND Pelizzoli (ex-goalkeeper Roma Italy), Pereyra (Mallorca), Odemwingie (Lille, one of the best strikers of French league), Sergey Gurenko (Roma, Zaragoza, Parma) - very good players in Loko squad. I think we waiting for a very difficult game. This is not Asian amateur teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Really looking forward to this game, about time we faced some more challenging opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 This is a much tougher game yeah. The Russians are always quite solid and hard to beat and Lokomotiv are a proper team and will be miles better than the cack we have faced in the last 10 days. Could go down to penalties (seriously it actually could) I reckon it'll be very close but i'm sure we'll win. 2-1 or 1-0. Will be a perfect game to play to prepare for the start of the EPL season.

EskWeston 696 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 It was interesting to hear Scolari talking the other day of Wing Backs. He wants his Full Backs to get forward as often as possible and act as wingers. Thankfully we have the players in Ashley Cole, Wayne Bridge and Jose Bosingwa to do this but Ferreira is not quite as good at it. Seeing this in action against quality opposition will be interesting because the threat of counter attack behind is greater. This game today is going to be very interesting for many reasons but i think the main one is that Scolari is going to show us what he has in mind for Pompey. Would be suprised to see the likes of Di Santo and Sinclair involved with this one as he has said he only wants to use 4 or 5 subs for this one.
