Can You Believe This???

July Fourth 0-1 Equimetal SAD

July Fourth 3N-4-1-2 1st half, 3N-1-3W-1-2 until 70 mins then 3N-1-1-3W-2 112.3 - Equimetal SAD 105.8 4-3W-1-2 until 63 minutes then 4-1-3W-2

We didn't even show up, never mind counter formation failure as such, but its our poor performance that let us down, Perhaps the return of Mr. Hardy disrupted our current form and we played poorly, we didn't really create a chance all game, and Equimetal SAD although will be delighted with the 1-0 win over tournament favourites July Fourth... They should of won 5-0 or something like that. Lazy, Lazy... July Fourth... Seaman spent most of the match busy saving shots from Emenike, Lampard and Ronaldo and kept on saving the corners, Their winner came towards the end of the first half from a Gatto free-kick and it was Norris that gave that one away. OH... and Ivor Hardy got injured in the 89th minute. LOL.

FAILURE. To put it in simple context... we must win the second leg away at Equimetal SAD on Saturday or we are OUT.

Goal: Gatto (36) MOTM: Gatto.

Injury Report: Hardy out for 2 days... Needn't think he is playing the second leg... cos he isn't.

July Fourth 0-1 Equimetal SAD

CL game?

CL game?

Yep... Not the usual late flurry of goals when I fall a goal behind or anything, even if it was 1-1 it would not much of a difference because of the away goal rule. If I win the second leg 2-1, then I would qualify by the away goal rule... stupid I know.

Hm, unexpected result for sure! Don't know if it was because of his 4-3W-1-2/ 4-1-3W-2 formation or just "bad luck". You could try to fight "fire with fire" in the return, or use any formation with a four-man line defense. What is the "counterformation" for a 4-3W-1-2: The 3N-1-4-2, 4-4-2 (Wide diamond) or 4-5-1V?

Well it doesn't seem to be 3N-1-4-2 BUT I know most of us forumers are used to seeing 3N-1-4-2 as a counter formation to the 4-3W-1-2/4-1-3W-2. But I did smash 4-1-3W-2 in one of my league games just recently 6-1 with a formation I generally don't use, Plus I played away so that helps.

Think in the second leg, I can afford to concede once, but I need to score twice.

Ok, yeah! Then use the formation you recently used and managed to collect a 6 - 1 win. Otherwise use the formation you are most familiar with. I always begin with the 4-2N-2W-2 formation, then change or swap players around if I need a goal or two. Helps in 9 of 10 cases.

Put the win bonus at MAX!

Damn crazy result, now we will need a comeback from July Fourth in the 2nd leg. You can do it! A win the 2nd leg will seal the deal for you and take you through on away goals, that's all you need. Many people come back in the 2nd leg, look what happened to me last season, 2 goal home lead and still lost so I reckon you can pull it off.

Yeah... Well July Fourth tends to sometimes play their best away from home for some reason... Remember, Remember Alex Zidane??? I already know my starting formation for the second leg and perhaps my starting 11 as well.

If I do manage to overturn the 1-0 loss in the second leg, theres no doubt I will play a team in the bottom half of our league in the semi-final, they won away 3-0 in the first leg.

Don't use that formation though... I had a feeling a ML/MR with red arrows could cause problems for your team and his formation countered yours

2nd half you'll be ready, put some win bonus too... Every little helps

Not using 3N-4-1-2, 3N-1-4-2 or Dandelion... They all are out of bounds... May look to a more traditional formation to win this 2nd leg. He may park the bus... especially late on in the game.
