Good lineup there Flash.

Two points:

1.  Flash's wide play may struggle (as Carboni & Neal are fine but could very well get pinned against Thuram/Schnellinger)

2.  A midfield diamond is only as strong as it anchor and its work rate - as we saw with LFC in 2014-15 season.  We could really stretch that midfield with our passing, dribbling and athleticism.

Its close, but I a midfield diamond needs a Rijkaard or Vieira or Souness at the DM spot.   

Also, I'm playing with two DM - with one releasing periodically (Case). Its going to be difficult to go through the middle of us, and if Hagi, Charlton or McAllister wander into wide positions (our counter becomes dangerous - running at Jansen with Bestie and Heighway.

Interesting 3 redmen each.  Agree DeFacto.

Tommy Smith Sweep-CB   vs     Em Hughes & Phil Thompson CB Pairing

Jimmy Case
Stevie Heighway              vs.     Phil Neal

*** Would call the Liverpool portion a draw at the very least

The rest of the players

Eusebio      v         Distefano     (both pretty darn good)

G Best        v         Bettega         (Edge to Trend)                 
Heighway              Hagi

Albertini    v        Jansen/Charlton/McAlister (centre of pitch goes to Flash) * but we'll concede the middle diamond/counter to attack wide spaces)
Case

Thuram      v       Carboni   (Edge to Trend)
Schnellinger        Neal

Pagliuca     v       Canizares   (Toss up or off)



It is, what it is... but of 6 of you are delusional if you think his team could do much more than control the middle of the pitch --- the rest goes to Trend (Eusebio, Best, Liverpool players and my wingbacks). 

Nevertheless, well out Flash, its an interesting set up...

Stoppage time... will it happen?


And we're done.  Nice one Flash... Looks like DeFacto for you in the next round.  Congrats!

He's my kryptonite or Vegeta so to speak....

Unfortunately not. However both of you progress, and since it's a draw, based on all the votes you've received in the group stages, you are the winner of the group whilst Flash will be 2nd and face the winner of Group 2.

Great job everyone  :wave

Think a draw was a fair result in the end, this draft is very competitive.

I'm grieving.  LFC wins tonight, maybe I'm 50% less of a prick.

And second, this actually backfires more than not.  Voting is the not the same thing as promising to vote for me.
