No. I wasn't really that interested tbh as I can't actually see your profile pic. It is blocked at work.

GAMEWEEK 1 HERO LEAGUE REASONS

Porto V Malaga

I really like the way Malaga are set up to deal with Porto but I just feel the Portugese team has too much going forward for Malaga to deal with.

Porto caught on counter attack by Malaga with Full Backs up the pitch leaving Nolito to score, Porto Bombard Malaga who are defensively solid and score from a 25 yard goal by Fellaini

Porto do not suit playing this style, a lot of thier players struggled to play this system and this contributed to thier poor performance. Malaga on the other side did well with thier long ball style and the attacking players swapping around. If Porto want to play one touch/possesion game they need a better base then thier current De Rossi/Felliani.

Malaga gave title favourites Porto a big scare and really pushed themselves, but in the end the quality ogf Porto managed to get over the line with a fine strike from Falcao

Both open, attacking teams, i just think Porto have a bit more quality going forward and Malaga's defence won't cope with the pace. A good midfield battle with plenty of chances.

Porto-as set by last season a very well written set of tactics, team is set up in the same way as Malaga with the 4-2-3-1 formation being used. I think that the defensive midfielders here are the strongest of the 2 and should limit the movement of the Malaga Midfield. Subs are also used at the right time to affect the game. Malaga- great use of the lone striker, backed up by 3 good attacking midfielders, great use of 2 defensive midfielders infront of the strong defence. Also have a good striker who causes porto trouble throughout the game. Great use of subs aswell which add to the attack. The tactics also tell the players what do exactally which is a good thing.

The key point in this match is the struggle Malaga have to get the ball down and play as neither, Kalou, Nolito or Ramirez have the ariel presence to make this work.

Porto starting the campaign off at home and looked strong. Felt Malaga should of tried to take the game to them instead of just "Kick and Rush" as they failed to hold possesion for lengthy periods of the match and a team like Porto will punish with possesion. De Rossi seemed very comfertable with having Fellaini as the more defensive but I dont think Fellaini himself liked that. Both had more than enough to win the midfield battle against the young 20 year old pairing of Gueïda Fofana & Jack Rodwell. These young lads couldnt hold down midfield, may help in the future if there was a more experienced head with either or both of them. Routine win for Porto at home. Weakness' are there though.

A.Madrid V Fiorentina

Atletico Madrid are a decent team but in this match Fiorentina are in a class of their own in this match and I can see them winning easily.

A lack of full backs cost Madrid today against a Fiorentina side with a lot of attacking flair, Fiorentina do struggle defensively which meant Ath. Madrid got a counter attack goal

Solid performance by Fiorentina, Atletico used thier width but they were neutralised by Fiorentina tactics. Pirlo and Rofles battled well but ss the game wore on they struggled to impose themselves. Atletico got thier goal after Fiorentinas triple subs which went against them as the players had to reshuffle and Atletico took advantage.

Gutierrez suspect at RB and was run rings round by Vargas who set up both RVPs goals

Fiorentina have too much for Atletico, who look short at the back and too leggy in midfield.

A Madrid- Madrid have built a decent little team over the break and do not roll over for a lot more attacking minded fiorentina. Nice and easy to read the tactics, everyone knows what is expected of them. The 2 further back mids and defenders are able to stop a lot of fiorentinas attacks. Fiorentina- Nice clear tactics, easy to read and have very good tactics which the team would understand and know what to do with. Fiorentina have built a very good team over the break.

I find this hard to judge and so has resulted in a draw, both teams cancelling each other out

Bit of bore match I felt. Fiorentina told to get the ball in the box which they did to good effect but RVP had to del with Dominguez & Mertesacker. Felt VDV had too much on him, "VDV will have to keep moving to find space, particularly going wide and taking the DMs with him" & than "AM/support striker role today" along with getting on to central balls and playing RVP in, playing wingers in and getting close to RVP to feed off him. Dont get me wrong hes good but just felt a "free role" would of been more suited for himself, also hes not known for his great stamina. Atletico were organised at the back, attacking they were good, had the right idea sadly for them Fiorentina expected it and managed to control their wing play. Atletico looked for a winner as the game went on, Mbia coming on for Fiorentina really strengthened up the back line, VDV seem to be quite inafective from RM. Ansaldi had a steady debut but his streght lies at LB. Adrian required more support from Eriksen but we can put the lack down to the way Fiorentina delt with him.

Spurs V Lazio

Lazio have the better defence, Spurs have the better attackers. What swings it is that Spurs have the slightly better midfield so in a game of little chances Lazio sneak it 1-0.

An close game between two sides, Cherry finally sorts his tactics out and it's paying with a win today although Lazio gave them a run for their money

Both teams were matched evenly, Lazio better outwide and Spurs in centre. I would like to see Spurs bring in width where Adebayor will benefit. Lazio are slowly improving I feel if they could bring in a better FB.

Spurs were very narrow which I felt would be exploited especially Gabby with his pace, Lazio were solid at the back

Entertaining match, both have quality in the side and i think they will cancel each other out.

Tottenham- great team with great defensive players as well as those attacking which will make lazios day a hard one. Only worry is the tactics in places are a little bit light, but this is not to effect the game too much as they are precise and too the point and other areas tactics are stronger. Lazio- another team using the 4-2-3-1 formation which is seemingly a favourite in the league this year. A very strong team for Lazio, but I feel that spur’s defensive players can keep quiet the Lazio Attacking players for a Majority of the match

The difference maker is spurs defensive midfielfer being played on left side of defensive leaving gaps down right to attack on counters

Spurs, effort to "top anything materialising for them in the middle of the park" wasnt so effective as they lacked all width to deal with Zarate & Agbonlahor but mainly when Corluka & Caceres pushed forward. Felt this made for a busy day for the Spurs CB's Dunne & King and eventually a slip up happened letting Lazio in. Lazio midfield had more "steal" in it to deal with the central threat of Spurs. They pulled one back from a set piece which Marchetti couldnt hold and was tapped in.
