Bremen 0-1 Genk (Camus)

Tactics:

I found this to be a very difficult game to call as both managers made good points in their tactics but also errors.

Miky – I like your defence very much – the CBs are both solid players and the FBs complement them well.  However, I think your midfield was overrun today.  There was so much concentration on taking Ibrahimovic out of the game that I can envisage space opening up for Welbeck and Camus to exploit.  I reckon if you looked to attack Trebs’ midfielders with your pace and test their legs you’d be in a better position.

Trebs – There’s a good balance to the team and I like the big man-pacey man combo up front.  However, you say that Miky’s FBs aren’t attack minded.  I disagree and think that they are which allowed them to cause havoc down both wings, especially with your narrow tactics.

Overall, as I said it was tough for me to call but I think Miky’s a bit light up front and probably a bit too passive in this game.  Trebs has the firepower to just sneak a win, but he’ll need to improve his defence I feel.

Verona  2-0 Montpellier (Delph, Sterling)

Tactics:

Pirlo was always going to be the man on the pitch today and this particular battle was won by Marky.  GSC allowed Pirlo time on the ball inside his own half and Marky instructed him to drop back and pick out passes.  However, the Verona midfield can run for days and are very effective in closing down any Montpellier attacks.  Verona have serious pace up front too and which I like.  

In the end this came down to the shape of the teams – the midfield diamond of Verona v the 3 Montpellier defenders.  I think Remy was left isolated for the game as he was sitting on Behrami who was instructed to act as a blocker.  The Montpellier wide men are good but found themselves crossing in to no one in the end.

Getafe 1-1 Bordeaux (Mirallas; Quintero)

Tactics:

This was the most difficult game for me to call.  Both teams looked to exploit their opponent’s weaknesses and negate their strengths and managed to do so.  I like nando’s plan to force the wingers inside and prevent the crosses into Di Natale but both wingers are more than capable of getting in shots from range.  As for Viva, I can’t really fault the tactics but nando was right to use pace to attack the slow CBs.

Twente 2-2 Palermo (Schneiderlin, Weimann; Calhanoglu, Alcacer)

Tactics:

Both teams played a “high tempo” game resulting in chances galore at each end of the field.  I liked soddy’s zonal defending which prevented their defenders being mucked around too much but took a risk in drawing a dangerous Twente side on.  As for Hero, I thought his tactics are excellent but Palermo’s attacking tactics were good too and were effective against Twente’s defence.

Pirlo vs Sterling was won by Pirlo?

Pirlo couldn't get near him defensively

I think perhaps Marky's tactics are a touch long for this league. Not massively but a bit too like the old league style where we were churning out reams.

I've seen Pirlo make players better than Sterling chase shadows.

(That sounds incredibly snarky, it's not meant to be!!)

I meant on markys comment from the World Cup game. At best it was 50:50, Sterling was too quick for the Italian midfield to pick up.

Good game Sodhat, think that'd have been a great game to watch in real life.

Thanks, you too. Always pleased to get something out of games with you because I know you'll be on it. The standard in this league is pretty darn high.

I'm so sorry about all the grammatical mistakes above mainly involve switching between tenses.

Thanks for doing results TSJ, although I feel 2-0 was harsh considering that would have been the score had I not bothered doing tactics at all.

I'll take it!

To be honest, I haven't been strict on limits at all. Most seem to have to settled on team overview, and attack/defense instructions.

I remember when I won, Azzy said I lost the final task (featuring Viva) but my overall performance meant I won, and Viva STILL took the credit Laugh
