It's got to be entirely up to Trebs to be completely fair

Zebs is not around, so could you send them on to Greger.

---------Cillessen----------
Rhijn----Vrij----Indi----Blind
------Bender--Eriksen------
Berardi---Klaassen---Werner
----------Lasogga---------

Rabiot, Clasie, Gnabry, Gauld, Morata


Last game of the season so we want to go out with a victory, gone back to 4-2-3-1

Back 5 know each other well, communication is key. De Vrij picks up the main CF and will look to keep him quiet, always watchful of his movement even when we attack. Look to be on him quickly so he doesnt have the time or space to move in on goal. Indi will sit spare beside him, take a step back in case Vrij loses his man, also be ready to move out to help the fullbacks, he attacks all high balls and clears any danger. The fullbacks must defend first and foremost, look to keep the wingers away from the danger area and force them outwide, keep the crosses in to a minimum. When we attack then one goes at a time and supports the winger, drive passed them on the outside to make an over lap, wether the winger uses them or not its upto thm, but at the very least the fullback will take there marker away and free up some room, if Blind or Rhijn do get the ball look to get a cross into the anger area for lasogga to attack.

Lars Bender leads the team, he is very influential in the middle of the park, will be our DM and will keep things simple, hound there AM down and force him into silly mistakes, dont give him any time to dictate the play. Always on his toes and not too far away at any time. Once the ball is won simple short passes to those around him. eriksen drops deeper to allow Klaassen onto the pitch. Eriksen is very quick and has a great eye for goal, have put him in a free role today so he can really have a go, we want to peg them back so he and Klaassen can do this to great effect, he possesses a brilliant sense of timing on the ball, and he can bring those around him into the game very well. Moreover, his attacking strengths make him a very potent weapon in the middle of the field. Will look to thread in Lasogga and play neat one twos to allow Berardi, Werner and klaassen the chance to cut in and/or support Lasogga or indeed have a go at goal. He will move all over the pitch so can switch with the AM's at any time as he will br given freedom to drift but if he does, still tho when they attack he must be disciplined and sit alongside Bender and help him break up play.Klaaassen is the main driving force behind lasogga, great eye for goal and will look to link up with CF, given a free role so will bomb up and down the pitch, will at times switch with Eriksen as he drives passed.

Berardi and Werner are two top young wingers imo. Berardi uses pace and trickery to great effect, his lung bursting runs and endless energy will leave there fullback struggling also has a great eye for goal so will be a real danger, will look to Klaasen and Lasogga in the centre as he will pass and go and look to link up straight away with the two forwards, so he can cut inside and unleash his powerful and accurate shooting range, will have Rhijn behind him and the two will bomb forward when they can but also be back to defend the lines. Werner on the other hand uses his pace to great effect, with Blind up in support he will give and go and drive passed the fullback get to the bye line and cross in or whenever possible when Lasogga is in good position. He will at times also cut inside looking to pass and drive passed the defence for a return ball to go for goal.

Lasogga up is a big powerful striker, full of goals and they can come from anything, two good feet and good in the air, he must get into positions that allow him to become a threat, will have plenty support so wont become isolated up top on his own. Always moving and jigging about, taking players away freeing up room for the likes of berardi and Werner to move into. When there defenders have the ball run them down and force them to play it out or mistime the passes. If he cant go for goal but is inpossession of the ball look for those coming up to support and lay it off/knock it on for them to beat the defence. He is great at holding up play so will do this if needed for others to come in.

Captain - Bender
Pens - Berardi
Free Kicks - Eriksen
Corners - Wingers

Subs

70 Mins
Gauld > Werner, Morata > Lasogga, Gnabry > Berardi just fresh legs and give them a run out to show there worth

Normally this would be an advantage to me but mine are already posted...

last game of season, nothing to play for

Toni Kroos dead in the water for Utd.
Agent has told Ed Woodward and Johnathan Rigby yesterday in a conference call that he wasn't impressed with Moyes's vision of the club and that he preferred Man City's style of play, Utd officials were fuming.

Ypu can't blame him.

Whilst Kroos is a fantastic player, he is at his best playing in the AM position, similar to Mata, Kagawa and Rooney.

United need a box to box midfielder

Morning 

Not nice to hear that, it's a bit worrying. Anyway like Afro said we need someone who plays deeper and in a more box to box style, Vidal would be perfect but no chance, Gundogan would be my second pick but it'd too late now. I wasn't keen on Kroos anyway if we didn't sign Mata then yes but we need to sort out the Cm which has been an issue for years and years.

Kim Kallstrom to Arsenal bet the fans are happy lol

also after tomorrow wont be on till thurs afternoon

No worries Fan. Just ensure you've voted before you leave, that'd be perfect. All votes to me for the last time...

A mate of mine Tweeted about this deal, asking if it was 2014 or 2005!

ill be on till about 145 tomorrow so if the tactics are up I will vote if not I prob wont get a chance as very busy mon-weds

I wrote my tactics on the assumption there would be nothing from zebs. I didn't go into my usual amount of detail.

We are waiting to see what happens with Zwags tactics. After going the entire season without any default wins, it would be a shame for the league to potentially decided by one. Would taint it really

If Zwag hands in some late tactics I want the opportunity to rewrite mine properly as I rushed them expecting a default win.

That sounds fair to me and I would have no complaints with you doing so. It's game at the end of the day and if I won the league because you weren't able to do tactics properly, it would be a hollow victory anyway.

However, Zebs is not going to hand any in. There will only be tactics if someone else, like Viva, is allowed to submit them

I'm against zebs, not some other manager. I am happy to make the game on Monday if needs be.

Completely understand. Zebs is not going to submit anything I wouldn't have thought, so I guess you just get the default win

Anyway I did say yesterday to write tactics on the presumption you had an opponent, just in case. Something you ignored.

So you want to wait on Nick to return and do tactics?  I guess Afro an Nando result will have to be postponed until the result of Nick and Mightys game are done.

I've done some tactics for the match Mighty, it's up to you if you want to accept them.

I am happy to play Zzz next week if you really want, but i don't think it's right to accept tactics from another manager. I didn't completely ignore what you said marky, i went for a compromise in between.

  #scaredofviva

We all know Zebs can't be arsed to do tactics and has already moved on to the new version of the league, so it is pointless waiting for him to do them.

I agree that it would be better to play against tactics from Zeb, but its clear as day that he's not bothered. Even if he did do tactics, they would be lacking effort.

And in lieu of tactics from him, surely its more right that you actually play a game, against tactics from someone, than to have a default win.

If we both play matches and you win the title, then you've earnt it. If you don't play a match and win by default, then no one is going to actually give you any credit. I know which I would prefer.

But if winning the league however it is achieved is what is most important to you, then I am prepared to forfeit my game to ensure I don't get the win that would stop you

I could turn up with up with a super team mixed of Barcelona/Madrid/Bayern & Citeh and i would still not win Afro. Why not postpone that game and do results and if you beat me then not bother playing it.

give yourself some credit Nando, plus a draw between us would be enough if Trebs gets a default win

I haven't actually seen your tactics, I was going off this comment of yours;

Looking through the BBC updates for the transfer window, I'm thinking about starting a petition that Gary Lineker has Twitter taken off him.

I hate Deadline Day. Nicky Adams has left Crawley for Rotherham (unconfirmed nationally but confirmed locally)

I wouldn't hold my breath on national confirmation

The principle of Deadline Day annoys me, but I still can't help checking the updates. Which annoys me even more.

Mind you, I've heard of some people taking a day of work to sit and watch the updates on Sky Sports......

Im at work so updates are fairly interesting.Mostly twitter though.

SSN is a hive of bullpoo on repeat on TDD

Surely it's big news, even outside Gatwick Town.

Hasn't made the Rotherham Advertiser yet though

GSC wrote:I wouldn't hold my breath on national confirmation

League One transfers get reported too you know.

Honestly I don't know why people get so into it, usually nothing major happens

GSC wrote:Im at work

Your train back on the rails yet?

Mighty you're scared.

Yeah but I'm not driving it. Nor next week.

Wouldn't be anyway since its chucking it down

Like Robinho to City, Berbatov to Man U, Tevez and Mascherano to West Ham, crazy deals like this means you cannot say that with confidence. Transfer Deadline Day is all about the potential moves. Don't forget Peter Odemwingie in the QPR car park last year

Crawley Town have signed Derby County goalkeeper Ross Atkins on a one-month loan deal.

The 24-year-old has been brought in as cover because Johnny Maddison is suffering from suspected appendicitis.

National Confirmation!

Tbf though those were in the summer. Carroll/Torres is the only one that springs to mind from January

Poor Johnny Maddison having his ailments broadcast nationally like that

Crawley Town becoming famous on Twitter now...

https://twitter.com/crawleytown/status/429265453748207616/photo/1

Is that the picture of Ronaldo Messi and bale? I retweeted that.

Yeah. When I first saw it I thought it was a bit embarrassing. Now it's been retweeted everywhere, I don't know what to think

Its not embarrassing when trampy clubs like Crawley do that, it looks cute.
