Champions League, Quarter Final, Leg 2.
Seems like the 20's are my worst luck possible. Against a team which we defeated 1-8 away, at home we couldn't go over the 3-1. Despite that, we had over 10 clear goal chanches again this time. I'm starting to think that Nordeus likes to burden certain "odds against" every team 1st in league and fighting in cups too. Because with same formations, same tactics, and even home, how can an average 6.3 stars team miss so much in front of the goal.
For the first 40 minutes we had about 15 chanches for a goal, but as before mentioned here, all of them were set "it goes wide" by Nordeus' troll captains. Of them, 5 were on Mark Lenders feet: letting along the 50 skill point needed to raise his 1on1 special ability, i wonder why bother if he fails 5 times on 5 attempts being, effectively, one on one with the keeper. Thanks to Hutton tho we managed to score at least the 1-0 with a great pass to Bob Denver (our defender .-.) which set the first half's lead on our side. In the second half we kept doing what we did in the first: failing every possible goal occasion in front of the keeper while we were abusing Nordeus Trolls opponents as little sissies. After the 18th missed chanche, just when we were about to throw the laptop away, we scored the 2-0 at 56' with Ben Harper (another defender!) served by Bob Denver (another defender!!). Not bad for using attacking mentality, full pitch, offside trap!
But Nordeus' troll just couldn't leave off by that and decided: on the surely, totally and very FIRST different colour action we saw for the whole match (and the last one) the extraterrestri Golovinov, a Q19 2* DMC makes a counter (?) dribling both Callaghan (38Q 6*) and Harper (35Q 5*) and shooting from the near area beating even Price (40Q 7* GK) for the immediate 2-1! It took us another 3 chanches one on one for Lenders to be able to score the final 3-1 (87').
With 21 shoots for us and 11 for them (only one being signaled as coloured action), the MoM was... my defender Callaghan!
God bless Nord-troll-deus sama.
