Tottenham played there first leg of the knock out stages of the cup today, seeing as we are going for our first ever world cup and the treble I had no choice but to play the first team! as our opponent was evenly matched with quality except for the special abilities but he was two levels higher so I new this was going to be a tough ask!. The game itself was a smash and grab really!. Merlin FC, pounded our goal even though we dominated possession, however we hit them with a quick fire break and Sheringham was on hand to put the ball in the net!, that however was short lived as Merlins domination of our penatly box was rewarded with the equaliser!. We managed to get to half time but Gazza had been booked and we were clinging on for dear life, I couldnt believe we were still in it!, changes had to be made so off comes Paulinho (DMC) again!, on comes Messi to add some more fire power upfront.
The game kicked of for the secound half and nothing changed!, Merlin FC continued its onslaught of our goal!, fearing the worst I took off Gazza and brought on another centre back to tighten us up at the back!, moved hoddle over to center and and gambled on the 4-3-3 formation!, I set force counter attacks and hard attacking and slowly we started to make a game of it!, Sheringham skimmed the bar, wasted 3 glorius chances wide so at this point I was just waiting for the one counter attack by Merlin to go and score!, but for all there pressure they could not find the net!, then our debutant Christern Eriksen came up with a wonder goal!, he chipped the keeper from the halfway line(Beckham like) which sent the crowd going mental! fabulous absolutly fabulous!, we held on for the 2-1 victory and I was well pleased! if we can put in that performance again in the home return leg then we might just get through!.
