Subpage under development, new version coming soon!
Asunto: National Team
I imagine they'll go with their 2slo formation. That will leave any willis' ... err wingers we play with plenty of room.
Biggest holes to me look to be
|---|--A|-B-|C--|---|
(each letter or '-' being one of the three positions you place a player in each of the 5 "squares" across the tactic.)
Be nice to see the forwards rotating to fill 2 of those 3 positions.
To be honest I'd think we could get away with 3 at the back and a defensive mid. Man up their more attacking mids and we still have plenty of players to sit in front or at the sides of their mass of defenders. If the forwards move around a bit depending on where the ball is it will only be a matter of time until we get a good angle.
Given that our mids/wings should have plenty of time to get the ball in I'd think high striking/tech strikers would be the best bet.
Edit: Of course its a bit late to be saying all of that given that the game starts in about 10 mins :P

Got the result in the end but our finishing was appalling, especially in the first half.
Thought Hirons did reasonably well once he came on. Drew a ton of fouls. Pity he was offside for Beauchamp's header though :(

have to agree with naph here. but that was the first live match i have seen for ages...and even longer for an NT match...stupid work
storey in the 30th minute and byers in the 57th minute... examples of what i have to put up with EVERY DAMN WEEK.... no wonder i'm so stressed :P
and seriously, those 2 misses from storey at point blank range was WTF
willis lets loose his own version of the ronaldo rocket.
and that offside was rigged.....

we really should be getting used to seeing these 'more realistic' scores lads.
we really should have scored more though :P
i want my unrealistic scores back... makes me feel gosu when i go to sleep at night :P

borkos will be happy. Think that's Willis' first NT goal :). Is Willis the only one who can score these days from a reasonable amount of shots. I swear we should have put that game in the bag after 2 or 3 minutes.
Beauchamp incredibly unlucky not to have a goal next to his name after a brilliant header found the net only for Hirons I think to be called offside.
Aim was to stretch them wide, as their defense then opened up gaps for our strikers to run through which was the intended plan. Worked a few times, only to have our strikers stuff it up or the ball cut out just before the striker got the ball.
Everytime we missed it just made me think if they get one chance they'll score. We really should have won by more then we did. Willis unlucky not to get a load of assists with so many awesome crosses wasted by our strikers. Was one of the reasons I dropped Hirons to the bench to see if Storey could do any better or drag one of their defenders off the field with a red. Didn't work.
Least we kept them shotless.
Thought about going with 3 at the back but figured the aim was to win the game and stop them getting a shot and then the margin would take care of itself.
4 - 0 result, respectable in the end, but when 3 of the 4 came from set pieces and the 4th from a backpass from the opposition, it's not something I'm smiling at.
Anyways we're through to the next round.

After all that, Byers made the penalty *blinks twice to make sure I'm not seeing things* and ends up with a hattrick.
You know what this means!!!
He'll be more crap than usual for me tomorrow if he plays.

This engine is complete shite. Same game as Poland vs France. I don't care about more realistic results - when I see 20 good shoots i want at least 10 goals :(
At least a goal from Andy....he is a real freekick killer :p

Probably got frustrated the strikers weren't scoring from his crosses so put extra anger into the free kick and showed them how to score :p.
He just got angry that they kept trying to kick Hirons' legs out from under him every time he got the ball.
Yep, i'd say thats the case. Irked he got no assists =p
Least Hirons seems to have finally learnt how to handle players who like to hack legs ;).
Was pretty satisfied with Hirons today for what short time he got. Gave their defenders something to think about, which Storey surprisingly didn't :s.
Yeah he didn't score but he didn't really have as many chances as what Byers and Storey had. He dragged out a few nice fouls from the opposition which resulted in 2 goals.
