What's the latest score? Can't see in my phone
Oh...calculating...not counting Annah's vote I believe it's even. But Theon/MJJ get two points for not playing a diamond or a 3-5-2. So they're up by two. I think.What's the latest score? Can't see in my phone
Yep - but the idea isn't bad in itself. Probably best to restrict it to highly unusual formations, though. Extra points for using the WM was a fine idea, for instance.One of the drawbacks of trying to over-engineer the draft. Was trying to avoid the inclination of most team to using 4-2-3-1 as seen in previous draft and did not foresee this complication before, tbh!
I think that it was anto? Maybe I was wrong, was following this thread on my phone today.Damn - close shave. The diamond business was the clincher, then. But in fairness it WAS a diamond, even before the updated formation illustration, as Balu correctly pointed out.
You should have. That was a game changer.I would've surely mentioned about some of Rodriguez horrendous defensive performances last year.
Hm - yes. Question is then whether Blokhin is really the man for that sort of role? For me a Blokhin-Krankl partnership looks more natural - with Bergkamp in a deeper role. At any rate I think that's how most would read it - and, frankly, I think it's the best use of the players too.I think that it was anto?

Bergkamp wasn't going to participate much in midfield game, which, I think, is what is required of an AM on top of the diamond. In my mind it was still more like Bergkamp-Krankl partnership with a free-roaming Blokhin coming from the left or from the right - but I get that you can call this a diamond.
Wasn't too much focus on any of the fullbacks. Rodriguez is clearly a potential weak point - no question about that. For me, though, in this particular match - not so much, given that he wasn't being hassled by a top notch trickster out wide. It was mainly Kaltz and his crosses - and in my opinion Theon/MJJ would've dealt with this.You should have. That was a game changer.

Aye, the tone was set with your brutal OP which tore shreds into the side. Nothing wrong with it though, I was on the back foot for most of that game because of how you went about the discussion.Maybe it was for the best though, I criticized my opponent's players too much in this draft, I think - and if I would've been able to participate today, I would've surely mentioned about some of Rodriguez horrendous defensive performances last year.
Well, Blokhin was going to exploit that space and him in particular - I think that I said that, I remember that I deleted half of my write up because there was too much about potential weakness of Rodriguez-Passarella partnership.Wasn't too much focus on any of the fullbacks. Rodriguez is clearly a potential weak point - no question about that. For me, though, in this particular match - not so much, given that he wasn't being hassled by a top notch trickster out wide.

I'd look to upgrade there, though, for the semifinal - that goes without saying, really.
Yep, he was great, but I still believe that him and Sammer in one team (and non of them as a sweeper) is just overkill.Feck me, that was an incredibly tough game - some really difficult discussion there. But I thought a lot of it read well, which is good.

Some of the criticism was harsh mind, but it's all part of the game - Passarella for instance was an incredible defender, as in actual defending, and deserves to be recognised as such.
