The Christmas special 5 a side cup

First topic message reminder :

Post here if interested in participation. Deadline for entry is Boxing Day night.

Prize money to be confirmed.

Oh come one.

Bungalow? single storey? No more levels? Football cliche - step it up a level?

I'm wasted on you Azzy

You're wasted on everyone Affers, my Aunt has a bungalow but she converted the loft and built stairs to it, so my brain doesn't think about bungalows that way anymore

What's the state of play now? How many votes are we waiting for?

Afro, fancy taking over the running of this shindig so we can get it finished?

Results in by 12 peeps and I'll then post the final set of matches.

FC No Respek Game 3:

------ Jack Butland
---- Leonardo Bonucci
Cheick Tiote - Steven Gerrard
--------- Demba Ba

Tactics:
Butland - close down the angles, distribute to a free man.
Bonucci - mark their striker, sweep up from behind.
Tiote - get stuck in, dominate physically
Gerrard - box to box, run your socks off to support Ba
Ba - shoot every chance you get, 5-a-side is all about getting as many shots on target as possible.

Overall strategy: hustle, muscle, press, keep it moving forwards.

------ Caballero -------
------ Dominguez -----
--- Isco --- Mkhitaryan --
----- Soldado (c) -------

Keep ball, simple little triangles
Isco/Mkhitaryan to operate in the space that Soldado makes
Soldado to drag their defensive players out of position
Fast paced movement, Caballero to throw the ball out to Isco/Mkhitaryan
Dominguez to mop up, simple passes forward

Juan Carrs


Subs: De Marcos, Varane

Team talk
Amorebieta to stay back, ensure no-one gets through, Fellaini to come from deep and power with the ball, use physical strength. Eriksen and Muniain to use intelligence and one touch play to create chances and space.

Has anyone actually changed their tactics yet?

Adler
Albiol Westermann Godin
Mandzukic

Don't let the other team score. If we do get the ball blast it to Mandzukic who will score.

Pass The Dutchie tactics

Fridel stand tall make goal look small release ball quickly to players.
Ledesma get the ball forward dictate the tempo from deep.
Holtby support attack and defence look to slip balls to Huntelaar.
Draxler run at your man play one two get shots on keeper stay on the move.
Huntelaar always on move try and get as many shots Bonucci over commits in tackles look to beat him by anticipating his lunges.

Rolling Subs
Quagliarella shoot shoot shoot close down defender pin him backwards
Genter More defensive get passes forward and don't push up too much

Bunga Bunga

Di Gennaro
Barzagli---Ranocchia---Chico
----------Diame--------

Defenders: Stick your Winkle in the attackers bumhole's and don't take then out for the whole game. That should neutralise them
Diame: Run riot. Demolish everybody

Could someone at least vote on the final!

0-0.

Deportivo My Sharona tactics v Bratwurst

Sergio Asenjo

Wallace - Mikel San Jose

Douglas Costa - Stevan Jovetic

Keep the ball, San Jose to man mark their central striker, the rest of you to get forward and create chances for each other, and be clinical when taking them. Enjoy yourselves.

Let's get voting done today so the league is ready to start tomorrow

Juan Carrs 7-3 La Chorizo
Mannschaft 5-7 My Sharona
Moleicester 0- 10 Bunga Bunga

I bet Olly's lads were disappointed to be given those instructions, then find no-one showed up

Would you turn up against them

Im still doing better results wise considering the result you put for my 1st game Azzy

Hero's 5 is the best in the tourney, Fellaini-Eriksen-Muniain would trounce any three of any team. Plus his tactics were better

But yeah, if I was Di Natale I'd fake a dentist's appointment or something

Woot I diddled myself out of 3m!

Well played Hero, very happy with 2nd overall. Now back to winning the proper league...

I think you've got that pretty much sewn up!

Excuse me, but I'm always on top of Viva. Ask him.

Ride em cowboy!

Well done btw, that forward three was better than anyone else's. That's what won it for you imo.

Yeah I thought the power of Fellaini with those two would do alright going forward and basically outscore anything in front of them.
