The teams this week was

Amjad, Asad, Babar, Majid and Sadif

Irfan, Khawer, Mohsin, Tariq and Zafeer

The game started and it was a classic five a side game where we would score and then they would score but we kept ourselves consistently throughout the match not being behind then after a long period where there was no goal being conceded for either side it was us who got the crucial goal then and then romped home in the end. However the game was a lot tighter then the scoreline would suggest until the last 15 minutes where our team just started taking our chances.

Amjad – 6.5 A good performance from Amjad where he scored more goals then usual and still did his usual steady away performance with passing and defending…

Asad – 6 Much improved performance from Asad. Did very well with running off the ball but struggled a little with finishing. Didnt make any obvious bad passes when on the ball and kept the game simple… Let in a couple of soft goals but the power was there in the shots when he let them in. All in all a much improved performance which he will be looking to take further in his next outings.

Babz – 6 Looked good when going forward but wasnt really involved as much as his team would have liked. His passing was good for most of the game then went a bit to direct when chasing the game and made his teammates run down balls when he could have just kept it a bit more simpler.

Majid – 6.5 Finishing was a little off today from the man dubbed as “The Pakistani Lionel”. Great energy levels and passing again was good. Brings other people into the game very well and wasnt really caught out defensively.

Sadif – 6.5 Spent most of the game out of nets which will be a boost for his personal fitness. Looked sharp and scored a few goals where he was back to his imperious best (a nutmeg on me was particularly spectaculor). Got frustrated towards the end as a few chances passed him by and still not back but well on his way!

Irfan – 8 Link up play with mohsin and khawer in particular was brilliant but also didnt shirk his defensive duty but that could be said for the team as a whole. Scored a lot of goals and created a lot and was at the forefront of most good things created by the team.

Khawer – 7.5 Would have had a 8 with Irfan but again his comments on the pitch just dont make sense… On the field he was excellent in closing down and being a nuisance up front and getting back and making sure people had men. Scored his fair share just should be a little more positive with his shouts on the field.

Mohsin – 7.5 Scored a share of goals today and also did well in defensive duties. Still thought he was either a little ill or hasnt shaken of the knee injury as he wasnt at his free flowing best (if there is anything free flowing). Looked assured on the ball and probably played one of his better passing games today. All in all a good day.

Tariq – 6 Where as Sadif looks like he is finally winning the fitness battle today Tariq may have suffered a relapse. Unfortunately felt some stomach pains which reoccured from the infamous summer illness in the past so after a third of the match was confined to the nets and let in some cheap goals but also made some decent saves. Outfield didnt make any glaring errors on the ball but got beaten too easily a couple of times.

Zafeer – 6.5 For most of the game he was left one on one and a few times was done for pace or skill but towards the end of the game he put in a couple of tremendous tackles to win the ball and start counter attacks. Also the big man got forward and bagged a couple of goals and fair play to him as he put in a accomplished performance. Always tried to make himself an option and gave good positive shouts aswell.

FNF Ratings

Taken from www.sadif.co.uk

Just a quick review of Friday Night Football (FNF) since I was forced to the sidelines and wasn’t able to play. It was very competitive game and remained close throughout, even though on paper I would say the better team lost.

(16) Amer, Manzar, Khawer, Tariq, Asad

(19) Majid, Irfan, Amjad, Mohsin, Raheem

Amer – 9 - another solid performance, was made to do lots of running, scored the kind of goals from distance only he can, rolled back the years with some sublime skill, the highlight of the game was the turn that sent Irfan completely the wrong way (I think he ended up in Thornton!!) and a trademark finish.

Manzar – 8.5 - obviously the most technically and physically competent player on the pitch, almost all of his goals were self-made, communicated well and tried to instill discipline and an element of calm to the team. Did miss a few relatively easy chances and I think slightly intimidated his team-mates.

Khawer – 5 - usually accustomed to having the ‘Most Willing Runner’ tag, however, i think because Manzar was also playing, this week Khawer’s performance was off-key. Seemed to be in a bad mood from the off, making silly runs and asking far too much from others, had it not been for the others keeping the team-spirit alive, his attitude would have clearly poisoned his own team-mates.

Tariq – 5 - ordinarily five out of ten would be a poor performance, but you have to remember his physical condition, to get the same rating as Khawer and to go the whole game without too many glaring mistakes due to lacking fitness, is actually an achievement.

Asad – 5 - it is always difficult for youngster to play with players who are significantly bigger and stronger than they are, but it is not helped when every mistake is scrutinized. Having said that, he did miss a lot of easy chances and even marking Raheem, he struggled to get into the right positions.

Majid – 8 – you could say he is the luckiest player ever, but he has been doing it for so long that you have to give him credit, the ball just sticks to his feet and he was always willing to keep possession when others weren’t able to offer an option. He was the only player that wasn’t phased by Manzar’s presence and would have a go, his only down-side is his wayward shooting.

Irfan – 7 - another good performance from Irfan, linked up well with former school-mate Amjad, always looked capable of scoring with either foot, did start to get snuffed out as the game heated up.

Amjad – 6 - kept things ticking over with lots of simple passes and the occasional burst, but does not do enough positive running, mainly due to fitness. Relied too much on others to make space and runs, a bit like a quarter-back, which is a luxury you can’t afford in a 5-a-side match.

Mohsin – 7 - similar to Amjad, in that he was always looking for others to do the things he is not prepared to do himself, but when he defended well and looked a threat from distance, got a rating boost by some truly exceptional goal-keeping in the last 10 minutes, that ultimately led his team to victory.

Raheem – 6.5 – as the youngest player on the pitch you would think he would have been their weak link, but he was full of running, looked completely unfazed. Has very good control of the ball and his first touch was better than a lot of senior players, however, this single-minded confidence that he has often leads him to overlook or delay the simple pass.

i dont want to go to work so ill blog and hope that freezes time…

First of question time… Regardless of how much Nick Griffin was exposed the fact he was on legitimised the fact the bnp are an actual existance and thats just the sad thing But i dont even want to waste words on them… Theres better things to blog about then people who cant get over there own inner weaknesses and just blame miniorites or people with differing lifestyles…

Something much more worth the time talking about is MANCHESTER UNITED VS LIVERPOOL!!! This sunday… 2:00pm… meaning i cant watch it… unless something magical happens… I cant see liverpool losing 5 games in the row… my brain just cant comprehend such a thing to happen… even though they have been playing so badly they will play better against us… and apparently rooney and gerrard are doubts… i hope we win after the last season debarcle…

In other news… Something amazing happened to mohsin on Thursday… Words can not describe what actually happened… but let me assure you… it was by far the funniest thing ever… it was throughly embarrasing for all involved and i dont think i have laughed so hard in my life…

University isnt too bad at the moment… Life at the moment is just going along… I cant wait for football seen as though i have been cleared and have actually got more vitamin E then a fish, its all about getting fit now… Although i know football is going to be solid for next few weeks hopefully i start building up stamina and hopefully i will be better physically then ever before insh’Allah. Although for this week Ataf and Sadif will be both be out joining long time injured player khuram on the sidelines. Possible replacements could be Asad and Rahim but likely to come in are Veterans Manzar and Saqub.

PRO EVOLUTION IS ALSO OUT TODAY!!! I EXPECT ATAF TO HAVE BOUGHT IT BY THE TIME I COME BACK FROM FNF! (although i dont expect it to be as good as fifa 10…)
