So we're getting Deila next season.

I wonder if he's ready for OBOS-ligaen at the rate things are going.

Winning, signing new players and preparing for a new season with Ronny Deila at the helm. AND a new stadium.

Only the misery of other teams can distract from impending relegation. So, thanks for that RBK.

No, I think you should lose that match. After that I don't really care what you do, although it would be funny if you got relegated so maybe try that? :shobon:

Well gently caress, that's bitter. :(

But fun match, and well done to the Oslo boys. The Karadas/Wæhler dual bandage spot kind of sums up the match!

We got this players:

Ernest Agyiri (on loan) from Manchester CIty
Thomas Elsebutangen from Pors Grenland
Kristoffer Hay from Hønefoss
Markus Nakkim back from loan at Strømmen
Magnus Retsius Grødem from Bryne

Not one above 20. What is this evil sorcery that prevents us from getting broken, over the hill and old forwards/midfielders?

I see Høgmo is dedicated to spreading the abject misery I feel every round to the rest of Norway for our first WC qualifier. Some laughable inclusions in that squad. I mean, even our 'best' squad wouldn't stand much of a chance but that's no reason to bring deadwood along.

The worst part of watching this nonsense is the feeling of dread that we'll scrape by with a mere 2-goal loss against a distinctly bored B-team Germany and media/NFF will be full of platitudes about how the team showed lots of promise and things are still progressing fine or whatever.

King was the only player who looked like an actual international-level footballer once the ball crossed the midfield line, and while I like him and he didn't look too bad we really don't need our sole striker to shine in possession and duels near the center circle while the team as a whole is managing not a single shot against Belarus at home.

E:disregarding my opinions on Eikrem/Selnæs/Johansen individually (poo poo for the NT, slow as gently caress, poo poo respectively), they make a tragically slow and plodding midfield combined.

Lol the second half was even worse

Also I've fully accepted now that however good players like Ødegaard or Samuelsen may look in brief moments, striding past players or finding a key pass, they're never gonna actually be good for Norway because their way of playing assumes the rest of their team is capable of basic ball-control and actually taking the pace of the game. Samuelsen only played 20 or whatever minutes tonight, yet time and again he'd pick an offensive pass and the recipient would be caught on their heels not ready to receive it, sometimes so literally they were stuck still watching the ball run over the line 10 feet ahead of them, or completely miscontrol it and spill to a Belarus player immediately. Furthermore even when that doesn't happen it's because they give it to a player that does have the time and space to react and then proceeds to do nothing with it. It's a paradox where however good their offensive involvements actually are, the rest of the team is too incompetent to do ANYTHING with it, and so their defensive liabilities (though to be fair Samuelsen was harrying Belarus more than any other Norway player at the end there) aren't outweighed by their technical skills unless they manage to literally just walk through the entire defense AND score by themselves, which they don't, because for their talent they're still not world-class or anything.
