Chuffed with a draw whilst without Hazard and Llorente against a full strength Chelsea, thought I was going to come unstuck there.

Nah brahma improved this week tactically. It's possible to get results against the big teams if you set up right.

442 is a simple formation, the instructions were to focus on attack, i did not wish to alter things in any way, so no need for 150 words saying nothing. Statements such as fullbacks show men inside, midfielders win tackles etc aren't tactics - they are basics of the game pro players don't need.

I've only seen 1 manager post anything resembling tactics so far.

You need to say stuff like any man-marking, high line/deep line, rely on set pieces, etc.

If a manager said to his team just 'attack attack attack' before a game they'd be screwed.

I think this is actually quite a disservice to your opponent, he ws tactically far superior and deservedly got the victory.
You failed to give any tactics at all to your centrebacks, Your only tactics to Drogba was for him to run his socks off. Seriously what did you expect?

Really think SAF walks into the Old Trafford dressing room and just says Attack, attack, attack? He's not the villain from Mad Max 2. Yes a lot of the points mentioned are the basics but they are required at least to get across your point, otherwise it just looks like there's no effort and then a drubbing is all that's deserved.

Sorry guys, you get out what you put in. Look at Southampton, possibly the weakest side in the league, but due to the manager actually putting the effort in he's getting decent results against on paper much superior teams.

CBs: Dont allow them to beat you easily and put them under pressure.
Mid: Dominate the Midfield as it will be a key to victory in this match. dont allow them to many chances.
ST: be aware of Kagawa and make sure chances are not wasted.

Ok then

Should be obvious who writes tactics an who writes and amateur league style team talk.

I will go back to writing detailed tactics- despite the fact I still lose every week when doing so.

Yup, as I thought you would have the better of my full backs (even though people are getting misconceptions about VDW's defending) but obviously I'm desperate for a left back. Congrats on the unbeaten start OK

Heven't played Spurs or Arsenal yet... cheers though mate. Thought it would be close and was hoping for a draw. As for VDW he really cannot defend...

He was fantastic back at the 2010 World Cup, looked a star in the making, just unfortunately he has gone backward since, actually if he went literally backward it would help as that's often his big problem, he's far too gung go, gets caught upfield far too often and fails to backtrack and is often a liability.

Well chuffed picking up my first league win of the season! Yahoo

Ba has turned out quite a signing, Pleased to keep on picking up points with Soton too, Although, I do agree about needing more defenders...

When will the league tables be updated?
