Hangover 1-1 GCR
Strange negative formation from Gregers with too many defensive minded players and Gourcuff, who I don't really rate anymore. If you play 3 CB's I don't see the need for a sitting DM.
Good formation from Bull but I'd swap Blaszczykowski with Gotze as Blaszczykowski is a right sided player.

AC ALSOAM 2 VS 1 Go Ahead Eagles
(Tevez, Hamsik - Lukaku(
Close game between the two sides, Eagles for me take an early lead but ALSOAM's half time changes mean they take over the game, and with Eagles defending very deep, they invite pressure on and ALSOAM pick up the win.
Hangover 69 0 vs 0 Gotham City Rogues
A very defensive team from Gregers, not a lot of creativity in there apart from Gourcuff. I like the Gotham side and formation, I think it suits them well. But Hangover's defensive stand means that Gotham can't get through however they also keep a clean sheet resulting in a stalemate

AC ALSOAM v Go Ahead Eaaagles - Crawley District Cup Game 2 of 5
- Spoiler:
- 4-3-3/4-5-1
Samir Handanovic
Atsuto Uchida - Benedikt Howedes - Holger Badstuber - Aleksandar Kolarov
Jeremy Toulalan
Michael Essien - Bastian Schweinsteiger
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ------------------- Balasz Dzsudsak
Carlos Tevez
Subs: Gabriel, Jerome Boateng, Massimo Ambrosini, Sami Khedira, Oscar de Marcos, Hulk, Edin Dzeko
Good win last time out, I expect them to be at full strength in an attempt to bounce back so we will need to be sharp. Play good possession football, keep the ball and make them chase after it. CM to control the game, Toulalan the main DM, Essien and Schweinsteiger as box to box. They have good players when on the ball but not so good without it, so starve them of the ball. Repeat the process from last time out.
Subs at 65 mins: Gabriel, Boateng, Ambrosini, Khedira, Hulk, de Marcos and Dzeko on; Handanovic, Uchida, Toulalan, Schweinsteiger, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Dzsudsak and Tevez off. All like for like as explained below;4-3-3/4-5-1
Gabriel
Boateng - Howedes - Badstuber - Kolarov
Ambrosini
Essien - Khedira
Hulk ------------------- de Marcos
Dzeko

Pre-season – Go-ahead Eaaagles vs. AC ALSOAM – Game 2
- Spoiler:
- Cech
Ivanovic – Luiz – Kaboul
Bender
Pedro – Gundogan – Kroos – Turan
Oscar
Soldado
Bench: Courtois, Rafeal, Fabio, Wilshere, Dembele, Dempsey, Wallcott
Team Instructions:
They’re going to expect that we’re going full strength tonight and why the Mr. Winklechops not! I want you all to play a free-flowing attacking game. Pass to feet and move. Bender, stay pinned infront of the back three to help shut down their AM/SS. Kroos, create from deep, whilst Oscar, I want you to be the creative link between the midfield and Soldado.
Drop into a 5-4-1 when they're attacking with finesse (it will happen at some point)
Go out there and smile (like you mean it). They’re the champions (my friend) and will be suffering from overconfidence. Marky, will be telling them to believe the hype! Lets go out there and start a riot!

- Teamsheet:
- ---------------Buffon---------------
-----Ogbonna--Dante--Ferdinand------
--Piszczek---Martinez---Alonso---Lahm--
--------------Fellaini---------------
-------Lewandowksi-------Tello-------
Subs: Schmelzer, Young, Belhanda, Shaqiri, Milito
Captain = Lahm
Set pieces = Tello
I'm experimenting with a different formation today so look to play a more attacking game than normal, with the Wing Backs getting forward and tracking back. The 3 man defence to snuff out any attacks and the CM's to break up play. Play it forward at all times!
- Team Data (Not Part Of Tactics):
Player (Game played/3)
Alonso (1/3)
Amorebieta (1/3)
Belhanda (1/3)
Buffon (1/3)
Dante (1/3)
Fellaini (2/3)
Ferdinand (2/3)
Lahm (2/3)
Lewandowski (1/3)
Martinez (2/3)
Milito (1/3)
Muniain (1/3)

Hangover 69 vs Jacamos
- Spoiler:
----------------Lindegaard-------------
Debuchy -- Terry (c) -- Cahill -- Ansaldi
------ Anita -- Verratti --Strootman----
Reus---------------------------Schurrle
----------------Eto'o------------------
Lindegaard to prove why he should be number 1. We're going back to a more comfortable 4 at the back for this friendly. Debuchy, Anita and Verratti get debuts. Debuchy and Ansaldi to work hard and get forward to overlap the wingers but must make sure they get back. Terry/Cahill to do what they do. Anita to cover for Debuchy/Ansaldi as he can play both fb positions as well. Strootman to drive us forward and play box to box. Verratti to pull the strings as a deep lying playmaker looking for great passes forward. Reus/Schurrle to attack their fullbacks, able to drive inside given the fullbacks overlapping. Finally Eto'o to be predatory and hopefully bag a couple.

Team Instructions/Tactics:
Goalkeeper: Look to distribute through the FB's or the CB's. Command the box, make world class saves
Defence: FB's look to get forward and back. Build from the back in possession. When defending be narrow, rigid back four.
Midfield: Sissoko patrol the back four. Defour and Kaka be the playmakers. Bale and Hernandez stay wide, and get crosses in. Help back.
Striker: Be the absolute saviour of the masses that you are Grant.

Default win for Olly
AC 1-0 GAE
Good formation Russ but there's no cover on the wings. Good formation Marky but I'm not sure on Tevez up front on his own. He normally works with someone else.

Jacamos 2-1 Hangover - the 3-4-1-2 works well here, especially with Fellaini in the more advanced role. Front 3 of Hangover nullified by essentially a back 5.

Pre-season – Go-ahead Eaaagles vs. AC ALSOAM – Game 3
- Spoiler:
- Cech
Van der Weil -- Ivanovic – Luiz – Fabio
Rodwell – Kroos
Perdo – Oscar – Dempsey
Lukaku
Bench: Courtois, Kaboul, Fabio, Bender, Dembele, Solado, Wallcott
Defending Tactics:
* Play a mid-line. We don’t want them exploiting the space behind our defence or we don’t want to allow them too much space to play in.
* Rodwell & Kroos, play from deep. Try and stop them playing in front of our defence
* VDW & Fabio, alternate your runs so we’re not left light at the back.
* Cech, communicate with the guys defending. Keep them organised and tight.
Attacking Tactics:
* Kroos & Rodwell, you must create for us today. Look to get the ball quickly and precisely to the front 4.
* Lukaku be strong up front. Run at their defence and use your strength to make them struggle.
* Wingers, They’re unlikely to play full backs to we need to exploit this space.
* Oscar, move along the top line. Give support to the man in possession.
After, if losing 60 minutes, Walcott on for Oscar.
* Walcott I want you to inject some pace into our attack.
Pedro ----------------- Turan
Lukaku -- Walcott

Samir Handanovic

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - Michael Essien - Bastian Schweinsteiger - Lorenzo Insigne
Edin Dzeko - Antonio Di Natale
Subs: Gabriel, Pablo Zabaleta, Holger Badstuber, Jeremy Toulalan, Marek Hamsik, Wesley Sneijder, Carlos Tevez
2 wins out of 2, lets wrap this thing up. I expect them to be at full strength in an attempt to bounce back so we will need to be sharp. Play good possession football, keep the ball and make them chase after it. Essien and Schweinsteiger as box to box CM's, take turns to get forward so one stays back. They have good players when on the ball but not so good without it, so starve them of the ball. Repeat the process from last time out.
