Season 84 - Are you ready?

[Al Svanberg]

Dang, I had a real tough Cup game today (I was up 6%) with Al FC. Prepared really well, it would be played during lunch hour. Then the Boss walks in and starts chatting about everything and anything, 16 minutes later I log on to the game and found that I lost 3-2 at home in Leg 1. The other manager was present. I am not sure what happened really, but I started a bit cautiously and I just think I would have had this game had I been on. Had a very good option to make a substitution and move up my ML to AML and only focus my passing on the left side instead of going down both flanks, it has usually been very effective.

More or less needs to win by 2 in the 2nd leg, will be tough...

Haha, missed the 2nd leg too of course, thought this Cup was cursed for me. Was just well before the game picking up my kids that had been playing with friends, and the friends father had this mega project going on by himself so I had to help him pull a lot of heavy machinery up to the rafters of a barn for 2.5 hours...

But my guys PULLED THROUGH! The oppo manager was online, must be fuming. He had 114% vs my 116%.. But I am not really surprised, almost never have problems with 4-5-1(v). Not sure what happened in the 1st leg, but it makes a big difference being present or not I guess. Still, I was definitely lucky to win by the required 2 goals after my 3-2 loss at home. We were really close...
