Another victory to my account. And YES, the "B" team was kept from the start. Also, the wonder substitute as Smith comes in and scores right away.
But SO MANY MISSED SHOTS, OMG!! Insane, the number of attempts that I got that were either wide or stopped (by a 2star goalkeeper as well). So annoying.
So what I can say is that: "started from the bottom now we here!" Former n°1 messed up his two last matches and I managed to steal his seat.
Tomorrow is THE MATCH!! If I get a win, I'm almost garanteed to win the season. It's all in. Either I put myself in a comfortable position or I head back second. This will be stressfull!
Champions League: Buffs lose 2-1 at home in the 1st leg of the semi-final after fighting and scrapping for every ball.
The Canadian visitors were lined up, as expected, in 4-3W-1-2 so the Buffs prepared with a defensive counterattacking 4-5-1V.
Buffs enjoyed a good spell in the first 10 mins with a chance for Denis Law which was deflected. Two corners were then controlled by the GK and defence. The Buffs were holding the ball well for the first 30 mins until the visitors increased the pace. They carved out 3 good chances but the Buffs' Defence stood firm. Unfortunately, that pressure did draw another corner kick and Ivanovic nodded in a Torres corner to give the Canadians a 1-0 HT lead.
After a rousing HT talk the Buffs came out all guns blazing in the second half and it paid dividends. In 45 mins Baxter skinned Ivanovic and hit the line to cross. Law sprinted for the front post but was closely double marked by the defence. However, the cross sailed over them all and midget gem Johnstone stole i at the back and rifled it home. Possession swung back n forth as either side tried to exert control but it was i the balance. Law missed a goot chance after 60 mins so Buffs Mad brought on McCoist to give the Lawman a well deserved rest - he had worked hard but it wasn't his day. McCoist then hit the side netting on the 70th minute. However, it was the anadian side that found joy on the counter-attack late on when Torress almost burst a lung to rip through the Buffs defence and cooly finish for a 2-1 lead. Straight from the restart Baxter tried his luck from distance but it was deflected past and again the corner was repelled. Buffs Mad could however sense frustration from the visiting manager as he made the change to 4-3W-3. It was almost the mistake the Buffs needed as the game one of constant pressure from the Buffs. McCoist was both Saint and sinner as he carved out his own chance with a sublime solo dribble, but a last ditch tackle folied him and another defender picked up the ball. But....a mistake and McCoist was on it like a Tramp on a bag of chips and fired a snap-shot goalwards....omly to see the visiting GK save it.
That was that. A 2-1 home defeat.
Afterwards Buffs Mad said "We fought bravely and played out of our skins. The Canadians can now go hme, relax and ref;ect on a win that will see them in the Final" and walked away before turning once more and bellowing "and then we will go there and rip their heart out, deep fry it and wash it down with a nice bottle of White Lightning. This is not over!"
Bro.. U should change your formation when fight that crazy team.u might have chance to win even at his home 2nd leg...4-1-3w-1-1 is the best to counter 4-3w-1-2...normal/down both flanks/hard tackle/short passing/no offside/no counterOriginally Posted by Buffs Mad

Now! you tell him.
In football it is better to be Lucky than Good.
Sure must be NOW.. since he still has 2nd leg to go tomorrow .... how should we know b4 which one he used n which component he met when he did not post anything regarding to that...only game over Buffs just posted the result of 1st leg..bro...
Just kiddin' already.
He's not goin' to take your advice, I bet.

I'm very grateful for your advice.And don't take this the wrong way but.....
I don't ask and didn't ask for advice for a reason. If I did that what would be left for me to do?
I post my formations and the opponents so that, if ppl want to consider, as you have done, what they think was good are bad about it, then they can.
But Philip is right in a way - I will try to do my own thing (which may or may not be what you suggest
But when ppl do offer advice I appreciate their good intentions.
