Hummm...it's been a very challenging season for Yeah FC in level 3. Going into preseason, there was an high level meeting between the BOD - he target was to win the trebble this year, anything less an the manager will be sacked for underperformance considering the modest investment made by consortium of ownership group...
The season started fast and furious, Yeah FC lost 2 of the 1st 4 games (loses coming against very inferior opponents). It was demoralizing, high valued players were not performing optimially - a mini crisis ensured. The manager knows his job was on the line, such result were unacceptable. He changed the training regime of players, bench non performing high priced stars and also changed the team tactics.
Suddenly like an avalanche, the flood gate opened and thanks to our free scroing ST(Alex - who has scored 35goals, 21 and 13 MOM in 35matches). Now with 4games left in the season, we are 7points clear at the top of the table. We also won the 1st leg semi final of cup 3-0 away.
The last 2 games, Alex has stopped scoring but my AMs( Makuka and Fontana picked up the slack in the league). That said, there was a stumble today in the CL semi 1st leg at home against a weaker team. Opponent player 5-1-3-1 (untra defensive setting) and over 6friends came to support opponent - I was shocked!!!. And for the 1st time in almost 20games we changed our tactics to hard attacking... to compensate. Makuka picked up a yellow card in the 10th minute and was rejected for second bookable offence around the 50th minute! Opponent scored from the ensuing freekick...0-1! We tried to no avail and lost the match. I don't want to blame the game engine, I will rather accept its my formation and or tactics? Also Alex is back to early season form fo zero goal in 3games. And the other ST is permanently unperforming all season becuase of limited game time. I tried him in a friendly and match league match today but his form is very low.
Now we have to prepare for the second leg tommorrow. Team mgt agreed to consult help for what tactics to use against this altra defensive 5-1-3(MCs)-1?
All opinions are welcome. The dream for a trebble is still possible but we need to win away.
Oh!!! the game engine has decemated Yeah FC with injury all season. We suffered out 12th injury today. Considering we use a small squad of 17-18players all season. We only have14outfield players fully fit...lol
Thanks in advance
