LEAGUE. Round 8. LONDON CITY (81.1) v TIGIDI TEAM (78.8)

Result: LONDON 1-1 TIGIDI
Goals: Borsato 62, Daniels 69
M.o.M: Jonathan Watts

What at first seemed a disappointing draw for City, turned out to be a decent result at the end of the day. We started the day in 1st position against this higher level team who were third. The first half was a stalemate with neither side able to take their chances. Just over the hour mark, Cedric Borsato broke the deadlock, to put Tigidi ahead. It took us just nine minutes to pull level, when Jack Daniels made a goal for himself, out of nothing. We brought on Stig Andersson for the last 15 minutes, to ease him back after recovering from the ankle strain he received three days ago.

CITY: Miklosko, Haller, Fiksdal, Watts, Cole, Olsen (Andersson), Santos, Hori, Daniels, Yashin, Leth.


TEAM TALK:

The point we took from todays game, has actually increased our lead at the top. Starting the day 1 point ahead of 2nd place, and 2 ahead of todays opponents, we were resigned to be relegated to 2nd tonight, as the second place team were playing 10th. However, there was an upset in that game when the lower placed team won 4-0. So we are now two points clear at the top. How we could have done with a win though.

Troll F.C. update:
Troll F.C. survived the cup play-offs against Ghori FC. After a 2-1 away win Troll could reach a good 2-0.
In the league Troll sadly only reached a draw against 3rd Özgenc and thus Troll leads the league only by one point.
I should have changed the formation after the cup match because it did not suit the league match, but hey ... it is a Troll F.C.

FC Kneipenkick update:
FC Kneipenkick climbed to 1st place over the weekend since Malika lost one match suprisingly and could defend it yesterday (very close 3-2 @Abady FC) and today (4-0 vs. Galatasary). Todays win was confortable, but costly. Three of our four wing players got injured and the first time this season red packs had to be activated.

League, Day 8 Report.



After earning the qualification in cup, we hosted few hours later our friends of Arif FC for the League. He must have been glad to face New Team as he was for once following the game. His 4-2-2-2 suffered our "B"-Team pretty well untill the end of first half. On our side, we experimented the 4-4-2 Flat for the first time today finding it pretty solid, but lacking goal occasions. That's why thanks to our adaptability and getting in Hutton for one of our MCs we could switch first to 4-3N-1-2 (becker as MR, stark from ST to AMC, Hutton in as second ST) and then into a more confident 4-3W-1-2 which was devastating. In the end we let Flanagan rest taking in Blaze setting up on 3W-1-3W-1-2 and in the last mins using Stark again as a ST.

MoM: Clark Kent (8), New Team (???).

Tomorrow we will face first Bluelove FC and their 4-5-1 V away, then with just about one hour difference we will have another away match for the CL against Hakan FC. We thanks warmly Nordeus for not being able to set a "one in, one away" setup matchday after 4 years.

On a side note, Bruce Banner is showing great skills and scoring several goals (DML/ML/MC); we are having a lil luck with videos on FB (3 a day ) so we might spend them on a lil PT for him.

Cage FC are out of the cup, no harm. A 1-1 draw at home tonight against a tough Token team was not near enough after the 2-0 first leg defeat.

They still sit comfortably on top of the league after a 3-0 away win earlier in the day, and top of their Champ league group.

Second team - thecageyones, are joint second in league 2. Only behind the leaders on goal difference of 1.

There's 4 teams regular active all fighting for those top spots as we go along. It will boil down to results against one another and goal differences, how well we beat the bots and inactives. Only managed a 1-0, in a tame, boring game today.

good performance today and a decent 3-1 win after being on top for the whole match. 16 points now, tomorrow we play the number one team (22 points) and they have formation that I see for the first time.. I was thinking of going 4-5-1 V against it but not sure, any other suggestions?
