Season 43

[July Fourth]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LAST 16, 2ND LEG - RESULT

July Fourth 2-0 LMUc

July Fourth win 2-0 aggregate
July Fourth 4-5-1 V-Style 131.7 - LMUc 124.6 3N-4-1-2

LMUc are a troll team. They made life difficult for us and had started the most lively of the 2 teams, Hardy was successful in dealing with all the tackles back in defence for us but eventually LMUc found a way past our defence with Mori getting a clear run on goal and Hansen's shot being saved for a corner... The corner was headed away to safety from Ramirez and we dodged a bullet there. Pekas then managed to get a shot on target and Knight pulled off a great save. Soon July Fourth had the ball in a dangerous area with Watsons pass finding Petersen to tuck it in for his 10th of the season, Hardy then won a couple of challenges before Turley was forced off injured for LMUc... We won a free-kick and Beckett dispatched it perfectly in the top corner to give us a 2-0 lead at HT.

LMUc were not done yet and were still in the game on the counter with Pekas trying to break forward early on with Hardy winning that tackle as well... An away goal would put them within a goal of knocking us out the competition, Campo's corner was headed away by Malik and Hogan had to make another challenge... but soon Petersen had a great chance to end this as a contest and opted to pass to Ramirez who fired it over the bar. Petersen then took a shot on target but it was saved and Papaleo was replaced by Pietropaolo late on as well as Miku coming on for Watson. Time was running out for LMUc and Miku did a good job of keeping the ball in the opponents half of the field and run the clock down, Petersen had another late effort blocked but we soon heard the full time whistle and that means we qualify.

Goals: Petersen (29) Beckett (40) MOTM: Hardy - 1pt
Manager Points: Hardy 3,Petersen 2,Knight 1.
Top 5 Standings: Pietropaolo 28,Beckett 22,Petersen 19,Calavicci 17,Papaleo 16.

Team Talk: We done enough to get this difficult tie but no more. I felt that we could of played better over the 2 legs but LMUc showed a lot of resilience and also it gives hope to teams with a similar quality of LMUc that it's possible to turn us over. July Fourth will need to play better in the Quarter-Finals as we face arch-rivals from last season in the league NAMO UNITED as they won their last 16 tie with a 4-1 aggregate win. They will be a handful with their POWER SUPPORT.

If LMUc took their early chances in this tie... Then we would of been eliminated.

Quite a close one. You now have NAMO UNITED to worry about. If they watch their matches and support themselves, it could be a tough match indeed. Are they as strong as last season?

No... Quality-wise they are about 3Q lower in relative Q terms to last season. Guess what? Surprise, Surprise... They are tanking the league season... Probably waiting on getting "Fha FC" back in the same league as them next season so they can make a title challenge in next seasons league, but we won't care about that because we will be a level higher than them.

Season 7. League - Round 15.

The doubt in this match was to know what's the best formation against 4-1-3N-1-1, because the information available was not good enough in my oppinion.

We risk in a 3w-1-3N-2W-1 and we took advantage of the opponent during the whole match, not with many goals but enough to do 3 more points and climb to 2nd place in the board standings, with the same points of another team.

Final score: 2-0

I played my CL game today & posted a thread to guess the score if anyone is interested?

[Chester FC]

Thanks again, I used 4-3N-1-2 like Croft said in the previous post and guess what? I won the match 0-2.

I also use 4-3N-1-2 as counter for 4-4-2 Classic, the best formation for me for counter 4-4-2 Classic.
