i know ive lost but want to see teh reasons

by nadeem2099 Tue 07 Feb 2012, 12:54 pm

Fan - As a token of good will I am offering you the services of Giuseppe Rossi on a season long loan to end our "fearsome" rivalry.

Do you accept this gift or do you reject it?

by Fan Gilhaus Tue 07 Feb 2012, 12:55 pm

by cherriesfna Tue 07 Feb 2012, 12:56 pm

ill pay u 3millon for teh loan

by Marky Tue 07 Feb 2012, 12:56 pm

I'm pretty sure people will vote Everton lost to Roma, but with my overly defensive approach, I want to see what reasons I am given and whether or not it's an approach that works.

I essentially played 5-2-2-1 and man-marked the striker throughout. Only Messi, Ronaldo and Tyrone Barnett as a front three would get through that defence.

by Fan Gilhaus Tue 07 Feb 2012, 12:57 pm

If he is up for loan I will take him yeah why not

Thomas at Crawley - wanted by League 1 mid table Bournemouth
Tubbs at Crawley - wanted by League 1 mid table Bournemouth
Barnett at Crawley - wanted by several Championship sides, even rejecting a £1M bid from Peterborough on deadline day

You tell me who's better?

by nadeem2099 Tue 07 Feb 2012, 1:02 pm

Looks like a new rivalry is brewing between fan and cherries fighting over Rossi.

Cherries - don't take it personally but your in my league and your my rival so I don't want to make you stronger so I'd rather deal with fan.

by Fan Gilhaus Tue 07 Feb 2012, 1:03 pm

lol

why you loaning him out?

by nadeem2099 Tue 07 Feb 2012, 1:06 pm

I've got too many strikers and he's injured irl. If you want him you can confirm it.

by cherriesfna Tue 07 Feb 2012, 1:06 pm

Thomas at Crawley - wanted by League 1 big spendersBournemouth
Tubbs at Crawley - wanted by League 1 Bifg spenders Bournemouth

didnt expect that - close tho

take it Kerzhakov is fairly rated then

by nadeem2099 Tue 07 Feb 2012, 1:17 pm

Good question twist. The answer to your question will remain a mystery. It is a question that will be rattling the minds of the likes of Stephen Hawking and Justine Bieber. It will go down in history as "The Question With No Answer"

Cool fan. I'll confirm it. Are we friends now??

Just goes to show that managers can see past the goals stat and see the player himself.

Plus Kerzakhov has played, and done well, in a big league whilst Doumbia hasn't

Blinded by stats again.

Why don't you sign that Lithuanian/Latvian player who is vying with Ronaldo for the European Golden Boot.

He has 45 odd goals in 35 odd games, he must be world class.

Rossi can't play like that? He is out of position there surely?

by Fan Gilhaus Tue 07 Feb 2012, 1:28 pm

no he can play 2nd striker

by **Afro** Tue 07 Feb 2012, 1:30 pm

Can't remember, but it's not a good one and his name is fairly unpronouncable.

Google European Golden Shoe 2011/12 and it should come up

Afro stop encouraging cherries lol. He'll prob put a tp in for him now.

Cherries - some people won't rate a player if they don't watch them regularly. Stats count for little on here. Kerzakhov is a "been there, done that" type of player.

by Marky Tue 07 Feb 2012, 1:34 pm

Cherries, Matt Tubbs has 18 goals this season. If you put in a TP to sign him from Crawley Town (as he's only just moved), you'll probably get him. £1M or so.

How about the above Fan ^^^^^

Slight change I know, but play 4-4-2. You can use it for teams with bad FB's and those that will try and play 5 in the middle. Vidal and Mvila give a lot of muscle then.

by Marky Tue 07 Feb 2012, 1:38 pm

Just play a 6-0-4 formation, 6 at the back keeping the opposition out, when in possession launch it forward and let the 4 strikers do their job thumbsup

by cherriesfna Tue 07 Feb 2012, 1:39 pm

Haha fan, funny how things change in a short space of time. A page earlier you said you would never play 4-4-2

by nick_fury Tue 07 Feb 2012, 1:42 pm

I have Rainbow league results ready. Today and today only I will be posting who voted for who, if you want Laugh

Benfica v Villarreal

The difference in this match is the attacking threat. We are looking at past glories from Rossi, so can’t really judge how well he would do at the moment. A forward line of Kleber and Nilmar, with Krasic behind is very intimidating, and Benfica are able to carve a lot of chances.
I don't feel Villareal instructed their midfielders enough to cope with the threat from Cesar, Krasic and Willian and this was the key factor in the result.
Villlarel playing good football and suprising a few teams this year,sneak a win in the 85th minute
Benfica did not match up to the Vilareal midfield of three with thier diamond looking formation, they were closed down quickly and now allowed to dictate the game. Rossi struggled to play as the target man getting beaten to the ball by the CB.

Benfica- Nice Team talk to open with, Good starting 11 and tactics are well written and understandable. Villareal- Tactics read well and are understandable. Starting 11 is very very good even with the few good injuries they have. Subs are good and used at right timesGreat use of tactics and are given a little time to make a difference
Villareal can exploit lack of numbers for Benfica, and Melo is left with much of the work against three Villareal men. Tight game ultimately as Villareal content to sit, but they nick a goal and Benfica can't quite break through.
Fair play to foot, he's set Villareal up well but, for me, Benfica just about shade it due to them having a bit more up front. Game of few chances though, Villareal should take heart from doing well against one of the best teams in the leagues.
Closely matched teams, which was very difficult to split. I like Villareal's use of their forwards, playing to their strengths, whilst Benfica are good throughout with no standout weakness.

Lyon v PSG

Lyon’s attacking three cause PSG a lot of problems, and their CM and FB’s have a lot to do. Bastos makes an inside run and gets a good goal.
PSG playing two strikers backfired a little in my opinion, as it left the midfield of Sandro and Courgnet exposed to Dempsey, Jovetic and Bastos. Lyon playing two DM's was enough to keep the wingers quiet and it was enough for the win.
comfortable win for lyon as PSG struggle to keep poseesion
I feel a draw was the right result for both teams, the PSG wingers had the better of the Lyon fullbacks and got more space when Lyon started to attack in the second half. The attacking approach for PSG paid off as they got of the blocks quicker. Lyon improved in the second half and put pressure on PSG but not enough to get a win.

Lyon- Good Tactics well written, Nice starting 11. Nice use of subs. PSG- Good Starting 11, Team talk is to the point and a nice way to start, Tactics are good and players know what to do, but could use a tad more detail. good use of subs
Lyon have clearly scouted PSG and have an answer for all their attacks. Attacking wise they will come up against numbers from the PSG midfield and defence but they will be able to use their exceptional movement to create gaps and chances to tell eventually.
Pretty drab game I feel. Lyon have enough up front to win it with PSG nicking a consolation goal at the death.
Lyon's wingers won it. PSG were showing them inside, but had no plan to deal with them centrally. Lyon's winger wanted to go inside too and were presented with plenty of opportunity to cause havoc centrally.

Liverpool v Arsenal

A close free-flowing game with numerous chances. Very hard to split the teams as they are set up pretty identical. A draw is a fair result.
Very good matchup, but I feel both teams cancelled each other out, Enrique and Sagna assisted by Song kept Gaitan and Perotti quiet, and M'Vila and Vidal helped keep Hazard and Modric quiet. Draw the fairest result.
very good game end to end, cant call a winner
I feel Arsenal were a bit too defensive at the start which allowed Liverpool to push forward an camp Arsenal in thier own half this suited Kerzhakov battled well against the Arsenal CBs. The Liverpool midfield were very strong and had the upper hand. It didn't help with Adebayor being told to play deeper only after the goal Arsenal went more attacking which got them the goal.

2 fairly even starting 11's here which make the 2 teams difficult to seperate on that front. Liverpool have well written tactics as do arsenal. both teams also make great subs,
Arsenal set up well and able to match Liverpool in midfield. See more cutting edge from them when they go forward.
Best set-up I've seen from Liverpool all season as Walcott is nowhere in sight of the starting (or finishing) XI. Liverpool play well enough to take all 3 points here and if it wasn't for the strength of the Arsenal defence then I could see them scoring at least another 1.
Very evenly matched in both teams and tactics. Impossible to split them
