League, round 10 - Fenerbahce SK 0-1 Perfect Tactics

Poor result for us today. It was frustrating night for us as we tried to break down the opponents defence but failed to, cross after cross, pass after pass, we just couldn't do it. Lamb with the best chance of the first half saw his header go wide of the post. A long range Petersen strike gave us the winner late on in the game. A win is a win but we must play better against stronger opposition tomorrow, we welcome 2nd place in a top 2 clash.

Goals: Petersen (82')
MOTM: Petersen

What sorcery does the 3W-4-1-2 use? Butterfly, 4-5-1 V, 4-1-2-1-2 all useless... 4-2-2-2 seemed to work...

Yes, You seen my cup draw earlier that gave a much better indication on the cup draw being all seeded by quality and not level.

Ac Milan 0-7 July Fourth Cup Last 16, 1st Leg

July Fourth easily beat L12 Ac Milan (not the same Ac Milan I played in the league yesterday) away from home and book the place in the Quarter-Finals with a fine 7-0 win, Zidane got us off running with a superb individual move in the 3rd minute and 10 mins later it was Zidane that helped set Papaleo to curl it past the keeper, Papaleo didnt score again but still had a fantastic game setting up Novotny midway through the first half and also strangely providing our other center defender Adams just after half time, It was a day of injuries as Boccoli picked up a knock for the home team and Crawford going off just moments after Novotnys corner found P.McNamara to a six-pence to score, When Crawford was injured, Kevin Mensah put away the free-kick then in the 83rd minute L.McNamara beat the keeper to score a great goal.

Goals: Zidane (3) Papaleo (13) Novotny (24) Adams (49) P.McNamara (66) Mensah (77) L.McNamara (83) MOTM: L.McNamara.

Crawford out for 4 days... Damn. out of medics. But we may have more tokens tomorrow.

No good news from FC Kneipenkick (German synonym for pub team). The team travelled today to the league leader Albion Addicks. As a formation Albions 4-4-2 faced Kneipenkicks 4-5V-1. The match started slow, but after half an hour the home coach reacted and moved his left winger to AML. Kneipenkick reacted way too late and the home team scored (33.). The away side switched tactics to 4-1-4-1 and could equalize by central midfielder Rasch after preparation by striker Kunz (he is my Pepp Crawford, but I prefared the name Kunz ). Albion Addicks returned to 4-4-2 and FCK to 4-5V-1. With 1-1 both teams went into half time. The Addicks had the better start and could mark the lead once again (54.). FCK coach made a sub (DC for DMC) and switched to 3-2-2-2-1 (DR/DL can also play DML/DMR), but the opponent also immediately countered with a very 4-2CM-AML-AMC-AMR-ST and could extend the lead to 3-1 (80.). Kneipenkicks changed to Hard Attacking, but it only resulted in the 3-2 by Guide Kunz (87.). After that glimmer of hope for a point Kunz got a calm strain injury (probably at celebrating his goal) and is out for 4 days. Red boosters will be applied here.

So Albion Addicks is now 9 points away of me (cudos, very good player) and 6 points on rank 2. Kneipenkick fell back on rank 4 and will concentrate on CL qualification this league season.

Player ratings:


Scape goats are Evangelos Clemens, who missed all freekicks (3, Albion 1) and defender Lindeborg, who was outperformed by opponents 6 striker Herrera (MOTM).
