    Go down fighting.

    Hello again, as to continue with this 'No one gives a damn' of me getting knocked out of the CL, Me being the best team (on Paper!) and maybe the worst manager out of the 32 teams in my Champions league competition.
    Strangely enough I still have a slim chance as the other two teams drew! Very strange....

    My match up will be against a team, again strangely enough in my League competition, she is good, very good!

    The match is less than 2 and a half a hours away, I will watch and hopefully many of my friends will too! [Note to oneself: Watch all their games right after this posting].
    Every Possesion % points count! I am away.

    I have played her twice, once in the CL: drew (0-0) at home, and once in the League (round 5): I won (0-1) away.

    She is a plop-drop manager, she doesn't watch her game, but she plays a mean Narrow Diamond, I have played 4-5-1 V against her Diamond twice with mixed results. I know a good diamond when I see one, I am a ND manager! Her back line D's are solid, the AMC and her DMC are the best players on her team. The backbone of a Narrow Diamond is the center pieces, "Through the Middle"!

    I out class her on every front, and my V should destroy her, but that has not been the case.

    Will play a 4-5-1 V once again, but with minor changes, I'm putting 2 new scouts DL/DR that have been for nearly a week in training on my "B" team, and mixing it up with my old reliable DCs.
    Nope, sorry ONE MAJOR change in tactics, I will up arrow these 2 babies, I never red my wing backs with 4-5-1V! We shall see if the classic motivate 4-5-1V lives up to it's reputation?

    Well, I will like it or not report back on the results. Please understand I am not here to show of my managerial skills, no one shows off by lets you see how stupid he played. I am going this, just to document my down fall, what not to do, and encourage new managers to continue to play your best game even when the odds are against you. Go down fighting, lots and lots of managers give up once they do not win everything, do not get promoted or get trolled.

    Track history and probability says I will be knocked out. Veteran managers reading this may know what I am all about, just sharing the fun of playing this game, the time spent getting a better team, learn more from others and improving yourself, the mental game that goes on! Yep, I said mental...LOL!
