Well boys and girls, it's what you have been wait for. The end to the lesson on "How to underestimate your opponent" lesson ONE!
A very fitting end to the lesson, as I was crushed at home 1-4 with an 60% possession advantage.
After a few rounds of Peek-a-Boo formations between him and I, prior to the game with me showing, 4-5-1V, Narrow Diamond, Crazy and Park Da Bus, and him giving me a look see with asymmetric 4-5-1V and then a regular V. We both ended up starting with the below.
Noticing I was exposed in the middle, LOL....., I changed out a ST and replace him with a DMC, playing a 4-5-1V, toooo late, 2 goals down by 30'! We both kept formation until the end. The after-thought was I should have Narrow Diamond him once I say his 4-1-3W-2.
After-thoughts have a placebo affect, so you won't hit your head against the wall. Make the decision, keep to it, OK kids.
Goalie had 2 saves but was out gunned, how? I DONT KNOW! midfield was beyond bad. Note: All starters top condition and morale every game!
Well it turns out it didn't matter if I'd won or lost, as the other CL game determined my fate. As the bottom of the table team lost to the 2nd place team. I was out.
But the real lesson about this game was FORMATION! FORMATION! FORMATION!
Bye kids see you next time!
