LEAGUE ROUND 2
Takis FC 0-1 July Fourth
Takis FC 107.0 4-4-2 1st half, 3N-5-2 flat 2nd half - July Fourth 111.1 4-1-2-1-2 ND
July Fourth BEAT Takis FC is the main headline here and thats all that matters in the end.
We got off to a flyer in the first minute when Michu passed to Miku and broke clear of the Takis defence and finished it off in the very first minute and that turned out to be enough for July Fourth to win this game. I will admit it, I was delighted to win this game here but we would of taken the draw before the start of play if we were offered it. Little much happened after this as both sides failed to get chances on target. The remainder of the first half saw both sides cancelling each other out with Michu missing a chance then Mensah failing to get the shot on target, On 38 minutes our GK Seaman suffered an injury and we immediately sent in 34 year old 4* stand-in Baikie. 6* Jovanovic then failed to get his shot on target at the end of the first half.
Second half got a bit more physical from Takis as they went in and changed to 3-5-2 and hard tackling by the looks of it to try and turn the game around, we decided to keep status quo with ND and both sides again concelled each other out, towards the second half they kept giving away free-kicks and Mensah blasted one into the crowd and another free-kick attempt was blocked by the wall. There were shouts for a July Fourth penalty as well and that free-kick was saved by the keeper, we had 2 good chances towards the end of the game through Michu and Papaleo but were off target and Takis had 2 chances but big Tony Adams dealt with those chances, sadly in the 89th minute, a challenge on Papaleo caused injury to the player and the free-kick again was blocked.
Goals: Miku (1) MOTM: Adams.
Injury Report: Seaman 6 days, Papaleo 2 days. I think we can live without Papaleo tomorrow and Seaman will be healed tomorrow after DM costing us 15 reds... DAMN...
Injury Count this season: 8. (5 from Power Training)
Title ODDS revised: July Fourth 1/6, Takis 9/2, Others 14/1.

I told you he would score, it's that kind of players that "step up" when the rest don't, players that have that x-tra in the end.But I know what you mean. Also, after you done with the PT on a player and you expect a result or a good performance in return, and when it does payoff - you feel that all investments (Tokens and all the time you put down) is all worth it.
When it comes to the 4-1-4-1 formation, the 4-2N-2W-2 was proven quite effective for me. Beat FC Kula twice with that formation (league and CL Final game last season).
Yeah I played a friendly today with all of my bench players and the 19yr olds I bought yesterday and today just to get a couple of xtra boosters. Since I was short for a DR, I played my 2nd GK (Pletikosa) in that role.. But he did fine and we won with 7 - 0 (All goals scored and assisted by Džeko,Olić + 1 goal from Cana)... Will probably try and buy a older DR (+30) tomorrow morning since I need to spare Srna for the CUP and CL games. Don't wanna risk any of my 1th line-up player in a friendly.
Yeah, for sure. Some xtra booster wouldn't harm, especially when you have a PT session. But I experienced that when I'm in town, then a couple of vids pop up on my IOS, but when I'm at home - nothing! So it's probably because of the geographical area.

Miku, Miku, Mikuuuuuu..... What do I get for guessing right?... A minimum win with 1 away goal isn't bad, and despite if it ended 0 - 1 or 0 - 3 you only get 3points. And perhaps this was a more psychological win for you, since the pressure is at Takis in this moment.

Miku was singing... It's easy as 123 after scoring the early winner in that early big game of this season. I pushed the player to 123 Quality just before this game... Oh and now after that game PT has resumed at July Fourth.
But I will tell you, that game against Takis was anything but easy as 123 we had to work hard for that.
Weve played 4 friendlies against our fodder teams and we got the full 4 reds for the games, our facilities generate 7 reds and 7 greens tomorrow, so things are looking up again on the reds stock BUT we lose 15 tomorrow on Seaman.
We have 5 options tomorrow...
Bring Papaleo back for 5 reds
Play Zidane with Michu
Play Crawford with Michu
Play Miku OOP with Michu
Play Michu as a lone striker
We face a 102Q team that play 4-1-4-1 tomorrow and that can be a 'Horrible' formation to break down. CL group game looks simple enough against a 97Q team that play an unusual 3N-2DMC-4-1 formation.
