Santiago--------Benteke--------Berahino

A nice tidy game between these two managers, both come to play and more importantly both come to win
some real world class talent on display from both sides mainly in attacking areas,

Haakster - You know I'm not a fan of one up top, but not saying it can't work and in Mandy you have the second best striker for the job (Ibra being the best) your front 3 AM's are a collection of séxy ass mófo's though and will trouble any side, not sure how i'd set-up against them myself.. and with Vidal and Kondogbia marshalling the defence you're incredibly hard to break down through the middle, do think your full backs can be gotten at though, but all sides have a weakness and thankfully for you, you have many more strengths than weaknesses


Fandango - Your side has a lovely blend of pace and power, not massively certain on Corchia and Hector (not saying they're not good ut's probably a lack of research) your midfield 3 is superb, pace,power,technique they have it all between them and I think all in all would be a very good match for Haak's even with his AM's playing a part.....trident up-top I like muchly as in my mind I see Santiago and Berahino cutting inside more than running the line which should create some good openings in my opinion.....


Think both sides have the same weaknesses and thats wide attack vs wide defence....normally Fan would have the edge but today I think Silva/Moura linking with Firmino in support of Mandy would be the more explosive...good game, tight call


lets see if the fruity agree's

Fruity gives Haak a tight but deserved win

Haak is the Tít Champion

Final score - Battersea 1-0 Miami
Mandy (Silva)

Very sorry for the issue, i forgot to add the home slot.

Fishguard vs pride (continued)

The game then went into injury time, where pride's team were remonstrating with the linesman. They had scored what they thought was the winning goal. After a lengthy delay, the goal was not given to pride's frustration. Their misery was compounded when the goalkeeper showed some quick thinking to find Vietto long to sneak in and smash home a last minute winner.

Mex Well done I'll take that result tbh

--------Wijnaldum----------Wanyama
Mané--------------Strandberg------------Jero

Wallace, Targett, Bishop, Armstrong, Sinclair

SUMMARY : A close one to call with both teams setting up to cancel the other out. I like the look of Gosport’s defence and midfield while at the same time liking Tippy’s midfield and pace out wide. Personally I miss a bit of creativity in the centre of the park and for me the midfield was a bit too workmanlike and cautious especially for a home game. Lubo’s team stuck to their task and maybe with a more prolific striker it could have been his day. All in all this was a day for the defenders and the sitting midfielders.

FINAL SCORE : Southend 0 v 0 Gosport
MOTM: Wijnaldum
SLOTS : Southend 5(+1), Gosport 5, Draw 5

SUMMARY : Both managers have tweaked their tactics this week and on paper 2 very handy line ups. Again not a whole lot in this game for me. I really, really like the look of Leiva’s team and I really, really like what Fan did with his tactics this week. Leiva definitely has the players to play his system but I’m not a fan of (in my my humble opinion so no moaning) over complicating things. Concentrate on how to get the best out of your own side and do it without flipcharts and diagrams with each substitution. Fan’s set up could be seen by some as ‘old-fashioned’ but for me it works perfectly. Good solid defence (2 great full backs), mobile energetic midfield 3, pace out wide and a big centre forward to bang them in.

FINAL SCORE : Lions 0 v 2 Miami
GOALS : Benteke (Gomes), Santiago Mina (Benteke)
MOTM: Benteke – Scored 1, created 1 and was a real handful all day
Yellows : will follow

SLOTS : Lions 4 (+1), Miami 6

=========================================

Basingstoke v Battersea

You think with Harry Kane up front I might have won that, Elsie?
