My midfield and back line suffocate his. Moller also had a fantastic record, basically 1 in 4 for an attacking midfielder, and was a threat for every side he played in the 90s. The flexibility gives me the option to either play him off Zamorano or alongside Prosinecki who was also creative wherever he played in midfield. Rui and Riijkard are fantastic no doubt, but they aren't going to dominate the match with my numbers and the balance I have in there.
Do not get me wrong Def, you have a quality side as well.
My point is that
this is much more of a stalemate kind of game we see in the Serie A where no team gives much, where the speed of play is slower and the counters are where the action begins -- This game has pens written all over it (notice I did not say whose team would win that outcome, but this huge differential is somewhat errant in its understanding of who would win this game and by how much -- this is not a 3-0 stomping by your team - in my opinion).
If not pens, then this game would be decided by 1 goal -- its close.
This is the problem with these kinds of drafts --- we see a pretty picture, suffocation (great descipter btw) claims, and some mention of the bolt/catenaccio style defense and immediately there are oohhhs and ahhhs. But very few are asking how you are going to score and against a side with 2 DM and 3 CB's --- its just pure insanity.
And tbf, both of you have 7 players on your side of the pitch pretty much all the time -- this game is not as clear cut as everyone seems to be thinking, that is all.
This is why I voted for Hazell --- because someone needs to fix the messed up group think consensus, voting (not because you do not have a good team --- you do).!
For Hazell to only have 3 votes from 14 votes (not including mine) at this point in the voting is bordering on criminal.
P.S. DeFacto's team, his back 7 is outstanding. Not trying to pick at him in the slightest.
