Will it be 10? ;-)
2008-01-12 13:47:42
certainly looks that way... I put a coin on it
2008-01-12 13:51:15
Maras again, great :) The instinct..;)
2008-01-12 13:55:36
Almost a hattrick of Maras...2 goals out of 3 tries, not bad :) Strikers were far beyond the level of their defs. Good idea for tactic and nice quality :).

What I loved in the game, was Maras in 73...he had free corridor to the goal, but made a decision to run to the wing, then go back to the penalty area and pass. ;)

You owe me a coin :p.

Seriously though great game. Beauchamp and O'Neill made a few dodgy misses, Jackson would be spewing, being the only starting mid other than Bourke not to get an assist when he created a few chances to get assists.

Best goal was probably Byers head over the top regather and fire off without taking another step towards the keeper, he does like this tactic, 10 goals from this actual tactic now :p.

Yeh I liked that tactic, but the one we had planned before deciding against it...was interesting haha

It was a great game to watch, an dI think everyone played quite well.

Shame O'Neill didn't get a go in the centre hehe
2008-01-12 13:58:07
Well there was a flaw, wonder if naph picks it up since it happened to his player by mistake. Forgot that when wanting to switch him to the middle at 46th minute mark I had it set to switch with Beauchamp instead of Byers, but oh well, gave Beauchamp more time in the middle as a result, whilst O'Neill could still get around the defenders easily.

all the strikers got on the scoresheet, though it really coulda been more if their offside trap had not nullified almost all of our long passes. the defence had almost nothing to do, much less the keeper...

and DAYUM, maras was a livewire out there... made the singaporeans look like turtles... speaking of which, i think cometer played around with the changes in the match engine by swapping around maras and beauchamp in the second half, though i thought maras was more effective coming through the middle
2008-01-12 13:58:19
nice entertaining game again... I like when tactics are offensive!
A clean sheet for my boy which must have fall asleep after the 4th minute as I think since then he didnt touch the ball again... He beat his highest rating by 1pt :)
see you next year!
2008-01-12 13:59:57
I'm gonna ask the coin to the owner of beauchamp then pass it on to you :)
2008-01-12 14:00:40
Haha well that's one way to get your highest mark...not touch the ball since the 4th minute lol

But in all honesty, he could have let a couple of their long shot/passes go by which he didnt so thats great.

And the defence held up superbly. Mids did their job, and the strikers were incredible
2008-01-12 14:01:05
yeah, although thats not anything new, that's been around for ages now the ability to switch players, but I meant to give all strikers 20 or so minutes in the middle position, although stuffed it up due to forgetting to put the actual number that was there at the time. Hence O'Neill switched with Beauchamp instead of Byers :$. Looked good if you weren't aware that was the plan though ;).
(editado)
2008-01-12 14:01:19
Wait till Maras gets divine pace...;)
His divine form + getting in for the 2nd half on tired Singaporeans made him look really really fast :)
2008-01-12 14:02:09
haha for sure

Sure was a nice debut match for 8 players in the team
2008-01-12 14:02:55
scared to think what Willis would have done given that then :p.
2008-01-12 14:03:39
and he won the GK race too!
