UniFox21 Posted 18 June 2019 Posted 18 June 2019 Benkovic handball gives away a penalty which Romania score

He looks good with the ball at his feet but doesn't look comfortable defending with katic, who looks awful. Both of them just leaving the striker for each other. can see why we have looked at him as Maguire replacement as can ping it around but uncomfortable with ball over the top. pascanu looks solid but defending deeper so defending in numbers and has looked good.

Guess with a defender like Evans next to him he could be solid?
Guest Posted 18 June 2019 Posted 18 June 2019 Benko having a mare. Pascanu looking the better player of the two.
Shane Posted 18 June 2019 Posted 18 June 2019 Pascanu looks the better of the two in this match. He looks calm, mature and has made some key tackles. 13 minutes ago, North Leeds Fox said: pascanu looks solid but defending deeper so defending in numbers and has looked good. Imo Romania are not playing defensive in a deep block like Burnley.. They are attacking Croatia and have looked the more threatening all game.

Suzie the Fox Posted 18 June 2019 Posted 18 June 2019 The whole of the Croatian defence looks very poor tonight

Benk is playing in a very poor defence. But fair play to Pasc. I read a while ago the club rates Knight highly. I hope he gets a look in. Hope he plays well in the preseason.
TMELcfc Posted 18 June 2019 Posted 18 June 2019 Well as we (foxes talk) love writing players off after one game... he’s rubbish

Benko has not been defensively good at all

Just not had the best of nights tonight but sure he would be better with Evans next to him
UniFox21 Posted 18 June 2019 Posted 18 June 2019 Is the Benkovic comments due to his performance or a shakey back four in general? Hopefully in an experienced back line he'd be better
AjcW Posted 18 June 2019 Posted 18 June 2019 Never mind Benkovic! That is some squad Romania have got!
Gillies Apprentice Posted 18 June 2019 Posted 18 June 2019 Benkovic’s positioning was very poor for the fourth goal as well - his performance against England will be fascinating

Lovejoy Posted 20 June 2019 Posted 20 June 2019 I'm sure plenty of us watched Ricardo for Portugal in the WC last summer as they were knocked out by Uruguay. He was quite frankly rubbish . Bit of patience won't hurt.
