agree, but after 2 games i only have 1 point:(

bags not me!

i'm just looking at the scores... jaysus!

and he did it to his buddy gordo too... hmmm there could be teasing going on next time they meet:)

Yeah i'm not looking forward to playing them. As far as i'm aware they've never put more than 4 past me but that could change this season.

looking at what he did to me at the end of last season... that *will* change:)

It's all been down to Crossley this season; from the looks of things the new engine really suits him.

nice game today, but he was to strong for me:|
i have ony 3 defs, so tactic was strange... but, what suprised me a lot - it worked great! if you have time - see that match.

Considering the difference between you and the opposition you did pretty well. I'm not sure i'd risk 2 centrebacks in future though ;) I have seen a tactic like that used to stop a wide frontline of 3 strikers, using three markers on the strikers and 2 'sweepers'

I thought your positioning on his wingers was good but I wouldn't ever commit that many offensive players. Personally I think 4 is too much ;) .

yep, but i have problems with players... i had ony 3 defs, 2 def-mids, one winger for todays game:/

so my best striker cetnarski played today as of-mid, and i have no option - thats why i played so offencieve:(

with full squad i should play 5-2-1-2.

Athletico have sold their star striker, havent brought in a replacement and not been seen since Friday. I'm looking forward to this game :D

Not to rain on your parade or anything but I think this guy 1719748 may play up front for Karloss tonight :)

I'm aware of him but glad to see the back of the other guy

And he scores within 3 minutes. Something odd going on with my defence

Crap, i just realised i based the tactic on something i forgot to correct

I tried a new young keeper and he let in a very soft goal. He later got injured and was replaced, which was lucky for me I reckon.

1-1
Frustrating that after i scouted them and spent a reasonable ammount of time creating that tactic, i then cock it up by forgetting to correct something i've been meaning to do for weeks.
Basically any tactic i use comes from a base formation. Then i pick one and adjust it. In this case i chose the 4-4-2 formation. Unfortunately i forgot that the defensive line in my 4-4-2 doesnt hold the right line and naturally it had to happen against the team that drops their forwards deep so my defence got pulled out of position chasing the ball. Didnt help that my forwards were worse than Newcastle yesterday. Could have won that game. :(

The plus side is that you're still unbeaten 3 games in :)

There is nothing worse though than realising just after the game starts that your formation is off.
