Season 70 - Week 4

[mmunger]

A convincing win in the Champions League Round of 16 today, 3:0 at home against a quality opponent.

I set my best performing XI up with the usual "normal, short passing, mixed passing focus, low pressing" and they delivered a 2:0 lead by the 35th minute. I then switched to "defensive", with a conservative playing style to protect the clean sheet. Franken scored the third goal and I took him out to send Mittag in as a second DMC.

Perfect result for a first leg.

3 games game and no change in tactics ??

[mmunger]

The league match was more difficult than the CL today. The boys conceded two goals, an unusual sight so far this season. The team even went down 1:2 at the half.

I switched the mentality from "normal" to "attacking", sent captain Sarovic in and my team took control of the game, to score three goals and leave opponents in the dust.



I think this game makes a case for coaching as a difference maker when you are losing.

I can't help but wonder what is going on with Petermann, though. He is suspiciously quiet since Franken join. A fight in the team?

Palace teams report, Sunday...

Palace Casuals had a home Champions League 1st Leg match against the leaders of their League. Liam Cashman opened the scoring, but the match as far as Casuals was concerned ended there. Right-back Fetisov started the rot when he fouled an opposition player on the edge of the area and 'keeper Johnston was given no chance from the resulting spot kick. The visitors then scored three more in the second half to defeat Casuals 1-4 and number the days of their existence in the CL. The later League match away at the second-placed team in the League looked like giving Casuals the same sort of result, but Shaqiri and Cashman put two goals on the board in three first-half minutes and with the rest of the team playing like demons it looked like an upset was in order. The hosts pulled one back midway through the second-half but Casuals hung on for a table-upsetting 2-1 win. This evening, one of the Palace Casuals strikers was sought after, but the derisory offer is still on the table...



Desert Rats FC were away in the League and cruised to a 4-0 win, with goals from Ivory, Abdul Karim (2) and Matias.

Palace Terriers had another goal-spree day, the away 1st Leg of their Champions League match being surprisingly easy, van der Plas scoring a hat-trick, but being beaten to MoM by Krajca with 2 goals and 2 assists. Record and substitute striker Hall (2) were the other scorers in the 8-0 win. The evening League match at home against the basement team in the League was a puzzling match of two halves. The first-half was a frustrating stalemate where nothing would go right for the home side, they suffered two more injuries, and the visitors threatened a Troll result. After the break, however, the world turned right way up again, and Atkins put in a strikers' shift with a hat-trick, but was pipped to MoM by Kadlec (1 goal and 1 assist), final score 4-0. Silly commentary time again:



Injury stats at the half-way point in the season:
Palace Casuals - 5 injuries, 32 days
Palace Terriers - 6 injuries, 24 days
Desert Rats FC - 5 injuries, 17 days

[Teda]

Teda played three games today, made three 5:0 wins.

The first match of today is a CL match, we basically preserved a seat in quarter finals after the 5:0 triumph.

Other 2 games are league games, both 5:0 wins, the opponents are weak but I am still happy to see my newly bought Bosnian ST Mojovic performed well. I am trying to figure out who is going to be his partner -- either two wingers or another ST; the experiment is still ongoing now, will settle it down before I face to the league leader.

Tomorrow we will start the next round cup matches. The opponent is a Brazilian and has tons of supporters, the manager is also present; we will play in his field so will try to make something happen. Good luck to us.

Good night!

Hi!

I'm alive (still...). I had lot of work and I'm starting with a new book, then I haven't time to write adventures and misadventures of my teams.

Now I'm out of cup in my three teams, at least pass 2 or 3 rounds to make cash

La Morralla FS: Yesterday won to the Leader and now I'm the Leader!!! In CL, 0-0 away, expect to win in home.

Jose FC: Second in League (terrible league, if I wish, I can tanking today, lots of teams in few points), In CL, lost 0-1 in home, I'm praying for pass to next round. I'm changing my formation to 3-2 (DML/DMR)-2-1-2, not bad results, the DMx plays very well in attack and defense improve with them, very interesting.

Viva Satan FC: These guys live in a different world of my other teams. Leaders unbeaten, top scorer with near 3 goals/match (really he is a living legend in the club), won yesterday 0-9 in CL. I hope to win at least one title with them.

I hope to write more often
