ROYAL RUMBLE CUP - Play Offs, 1ST LEG

Reddeviljohn 2-4 Man FC

Reddeviljohn 84.0 4-5-1V - Man FC 82.8 4-4-2

We were up for this cup tie after resting players and got off to a great start when Moreau puts Di Gennero through to score after 3mins but Nuchit hits back and gets the all important away goal after 8mins and Van Leo smashes in another after 28mins and we are in real trouble now. Zouma trips the attacker and is booked after 39mins and Nuchit scores from the resulting free kick and it looks and up hill battle now, so at half time the home side trail 1-3. After 53mins Zouma is replaced by Djioev and on 54mins Van Leo hits a volley and makes it 1-4 and its a rout. On 63mins Burbur comes on for Summers and home side are going to have a go. On 75mins Di Gennero hits one and it flies into the net, giving the home side something to believe in.

Goals: Di Gennero (3), (75) MOTM: Nuchit

Team Talk: An absolute disaster, our first defeat of the season and looks like we our out of the cup, we just got totally blown away.

Sry to hear. But I still can't believe how I could lose to the same formation using the 4-4-2 against it (against Fenerbahce) last week. Here, he wins and you lose - but back then, I lost and he won... No fu*king sense

Yeah, it has been working for me in the league as a lot of teams are using 4-4-2 but the goals just keep flying in. I guess I will have to come up with a different formation in the return leg but I think it is all in vein!
