Someone like Kevin Prince Boateng or Shinji Kagawa would have been more suited to this role for me.

kag's or KPB to man mark Pirol hahahahaha

Better than anticipated, except I still probably didn't pass it. It was a re-sit to begin with and my work ethic didn't improve at all Laugh

Well played Gregers, you're a tough cookie and I liked your setup.

As I said before, different managers have different opinions, and see each battle on the pitch a different way. Everybody interprets differently

I know feedback ain't up for your game yet GSC, but I could not see either team scoring at all, where as someone sees a goal fest. Each to there own

Not my feedback, but I don't feel you can man mark a player as clever as Pirlo. Think the best bet is to push somebody into his face so he can't get his head up and pick forward passes.

Azzy, that because when Ive changed my formation people have voted me down for doing it.
Thats just how some people view it i suppose

by sodhat Tue Mar 12, 2013 1:53 pm

I change formation all the time and people seem oblivious to it.

I err on the side of voting against predictability.

See I saw that I didn't address an AM, and when I countered he was reliant on Kroos and Lampard dropping back in to prevent me being 4/5 on 4.

by Marky Tue Mar 12, 2013 1:54 pm

Anyway, I know Hummels isn't in the best of form and has an injury, but have done my weekly dealings.

Sakho + Xhaka out, Hummels + Obiang in and a few million spent. Worthwhile? I really like Obiang and it's a bonus he's Spanish and U21 (for this season at least)

by Gregers Tue Mar 12, 2013 1:54 pm

Agreed azzy, I was hoping to nick a win but more than happy with a draw.

by Guest Tue Mar 12, 2013 1:54 pm

How comes Viva only lost 2-0, when voting should give you a -1 goal? Surely he lost 3-0? Or did his opponent not vote either?

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue Mar 12, 2013 1:55 pm

Thats quite interesting dont you think GSC? Some saw it as a deadlock while others a goal fest. two 0-0 & two 1-1's.

Think it gets corrected to a 3-0 when the bonus is confirmed

by cherriesfna Tue Mar 12, 2013 1:56 pm

champ reason?

by **Afro** Tue Mar 12, 2013 1:56 pm

Hummels is a top signing Marky. His injury isn't long enough to effect his rating IMO and Thiago Silva, he was the best CB in Europe last season.

I was between him and Ivanovic, and would have probably gone for Hummels had you not beat me to it and made my decision for me.

As I said above, I viewed it as you had a ton of attacking talent but were vulnerable to the counter with Kroos and Lamps as a midfield 2. Others might see me sitting in I guess.

Yeah, that needs to be updated to 3-0. It's an oversight as we were whizzing through them under the pressure of managers asking for them Laugh

Quick, someone sign Glenn Murray

Bony has 24 in holland and Aubameyang has 15 in France

Oh im fully aware of my weakness. My attack is way better than my Def. I just though by telling Lamps & Kroos to sit in the middle & get the ball forward quick I should be ok with my attacking talent. Well with Coentrão now gone I may not be so open at LB lol. Kolarov will do a good job there, more defensive & have a dangerous left foot so still good attacking.

by GSC Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:02 pm

Murray has 30 in England

by GSC Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:03 pm

Yeah, I knew I had my work cut out for me, and I considered a formation swap, but stuck to my guns. Good draw imo.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:03 pm

Ahhhh damn work pc hasnt got the plug in I need to listen to Cheltenham.

Afro can you give my live updates?

Still a league in Europe

and when are reasons

I wont lie im a little disappointed. I expected my attack to overrun you.
Never the less, good game.
Im itching to find out the feedback now.

by sodhat Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:10 pm

Afro has already said they will be later this evening

Same vein, I expected my counter to be effective.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:12 pm

Champagne Fever !!!!!!
I bleeding knew it, so annoyed I didnt back it.

by Marky Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:14 pm

I couldn't believe Olly said he wasn't going for Hummels due to his long term injury, I wouldn't call four weeks long term Whistle

by Marky Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:16 pm

And Cherries, your two goalscorers aren't playing week in week out against quality defenders, that's where they fall short IMO. Its why Aubameyang is nothing on Van Persie/Falcao despite scoring more goals.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:16 pm

Afro, off to a good start there with Champagne Fever.

by Bull Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:18 pm

Signed Nathaniel Chalobah

falcao is crap overated, some Liga BBVA are championship standered.

that should ibrahimovic is crap due to only scoring against the teams that aubameyang sores against.

Bony is going over a goal a game in holland vs teams like PSV, Ajax Feynoord.

these players are good.

by GSC Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:21 pm

Chalobah is a good young player, but a long term investment that.

by GSC Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:22 pm

Ibra has 8 more goals than PEA and has proven himself in many top leagues

by GSC Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:22 pm

The Glenn Murray example was extreme but got the point across.

GSC wrote:Ibra has 8 more goals than PEA and has proven himself in many top leagues

And the CL.

Rating a player isn't just about how many they score, it's how they play. PEA is a decent player tbh, but he can't be classed amongst the top strikers in the league just because of his goals.

Bony is a good player too and just needs to show it consistently

by cherriesfna Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:26 pm

GSC wrote:Ibra has 8 more goals than PEA and has proven himself in many top leagues

PEA is stillt he second top scorer and also has 6 assists, 2 more than ibra so he is more of a team player.

Meanwhile Viteese are riding bony and lye 4th, Bony will move in the summer.

Afro, you on Simonsig next?

Why does it seem that Azzy Mahmood was not not being helpful there just out to get me.

by GSC Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:29 pm

Compare him to Benteke. Yeah Benteke only has 12 goals, but hes doing in the PL, for a poor team and is single handedly keeping them afloat.

I'll let others decide that particular one

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue Mar 12, 2013 2:34 pm

Andrea Scholes+ >>> Bony+Benteke hybrid
