Season 41

LEAGUE ROUND 2

July Fourth 2-2 Batigo United

July Fourth 118.2 4-1-2-1-2 ND then 58 mins 4-5-1 V - Batigo United 115.8 4-4-2

Ah, sh*t result!. But the 4-4-2 ND vs 4-4-2 is always "tricky" and sometimes hard to crack. Some say the ND counters the Classic, while some say the other way around. I would have used a formation with 5 or more "midfielders", perhaps a 4-5-1 flat or the 3N-2W-2N-2W-1 formation.

But as you say, a draw is a draw and it gives you a point. The other two top teams in my league managed to draw as well (ended 0-0). I missed out to follow my game, but managed to get a 4 - 1 win.

Yes, it was a frustrating result, NGE wanted to favour Batigo here, he will be happy with the draw perhaps more than I will, I would of liked to have got the win and it would of made it difficult for him to win the league from there because he would of been 5 points behind already.

Well, we both have 12 games each before we play again, If I can go into that game in the lead in the league, then we will be happy with the league progress, CL group qualification should not be a problem (3 weak teams) and a possible cup run looks likely this season as I'm pretty much into the 3rd Round. not calling it Preliminary,Qualifying or Playoffs anymore since format change because its a proper hard cup now Also it sounds better to say you lost in Round 1,2 or 3 than Preliminary,Qualifying or Playoff.
