Love watching our NT in recent times.
A few years ago, we used to be a team that sat deep and just hoofed it forward aimlessly whenever we got the ball. Reappointing Tarmo Rüütli as the manager has been a revelation. The players can actually string more than 3 passes together, we've found ourselves a true midfield playmaker in Vassiljev who dictates our play and for the first time since the best years of Super Mart Poom, we suddenly have a very good goalkeeper in Pareiko again.
The current team is like an opposite of Arsenal. Everyone always play their hearts out and work for each other on the pitch when defending, which makes up for individual lack of quality surprisingly well. Our attacking is direct, but aside from the ball over the top, the players are capable of moving the ball around and creating chances through simple combinations and wing play. Familiar with the frustrations of being an Arsenal fan and our inability to pick up the points and wins from the games we should, it's rather refreshing to support a team that are the underdogs in most games but still manage to produce results/put in heroic performances against some of the top teams in the World.
Tonight wasn't the best of performances by Estonia, but despite going 1-0 behind in the first half, the boys gave their all in the second half and fought out a well deserved draw. It was especially nice after some cocky comments by the president of Serbian FA(I think).
