LSTD's League - Cup Results

Birmingham vs Leicester

A sort of derby game here between the second city’s biggest club and them lot from the east sides.
I liked nadz’s diamond set-up and against most sides I think it’d pay dividends especially as normally there would be home adv slots…BUT against Vidal and Kroos I just felt it was asking too much of Rabiot, that said I do think they would have stretched the play nicely and cause Leicester some issues.
Not usually a fan of one up top but with Costa as the one I think it’d work especially with Willian/Sane/Brozovic running from deep, all in all an interesting match-up
Full-time

Blues 1-2 Leicester

Rashford( Nolito)
Costa (sane)
Vidal (Kroos)

MOTM -Costa – he may be a massive but all sides need one, he battles away all day and gave his side a solid springboard in attack


Aston Vile vs Wolves

A pwopa derby this, both sides playing pretty strong sides, both sticking with the tried and tested 4-2-3-1
Ludes’ Villa side is in good form and he’s going for the league and cup double Fan inspite of us taking the piish has done a decent job at improving Wolves, The one thing that stands out for Wolves (IMHO) is that they have some real pace in that team, Ludy’s front 4 is up there with the best this league has to offer but I think the 2 CM’s can be gotten at.

Full-Time
Villa 2-3 Wolves
KDB (Higgy) Reus (Free-kick)
Batman (Mata) Walcott (Batman) Williams (Mata)

MOTM – Williams – busy day for the Wolverhampton born ex-baggie tough job keeping Higgy the fat quiet and popped up at the other end with the winning goal from a corner

Liverpool vs Man City

the old guard vs the nouveau riche
Nice to see both managers going with pretty strong teams - I really really wouldn't put Blind anywhere near the centre of my defence - can see PEA destroying him, Dragovic is meant to be decent enough though. I think City's midfield could do well enough to hold the centre ground, not sure on Christensen at DM and with Koke and Greasemonkey better forwards than backwards Liverpool will give ground - that said I think their front 5 will pose an awful amount of questions, City with Icardi will always have a chance of goals so we'll see what the randomizer wants to do.
Full time - Liverpool 3-1 City
PEA (Koke) Griezmann (Williams) PEA (Griezmann)
Icardi (Gotze)

MOTM - PEA - led the line well and his pace caused City all kinds of bother

Man Utd vs 'Ull

First things first why the feck is Milner at LB? I think that itself will make Volland's job a fair bit easier as he'll just burn him with relative ease. Coleman at RB is a good player but will leave the side so imbalanced and you then state you want them both bombing forward - asking for trouble in my humble opinion. I do like Lubo's front 3 though and they could have a bit of fun - rather play Candreva at the expense of one of them though as he atleast would add defensive cover.
I like Welshy's work with Hull - Tah and Sule would be a good combo and could deal with (to a degree) with Cav's physical presence - Brandt is a great prospect and with Coleman bombing on he'd be a potent threat on the counter, Vietto up against Evans would be interesting, I think the pace and movement of the little Argentine could swing the head to head in his favour.
Close game not much in it

Full time - Utd 0-1 Hull
Vietto (Brandt)

MOTM - Cavani - worked tirelessly for the side and unlucky to be on the losing team

Arsenal 1-2 Tottenham (Fratton Park)
Ronaldo(Di Maria); Lacazette(Fekir), Fekir(Lacazette)
MOTM: Van Dijk

Arsenal went out to outscore their opposition and it backfired massively, with Tottenham defending excellently throughout in a really compact block that kept Arsenal passing sideways. On the break Lacazette and Fekir saw a lot of joy, they were wasteful really, this game could have been a rout.

Portsmouth 1-0 Chelsea (Emirates)
Lewandowski(Costa)
MOTM: Douglas Costa.

Injuries to Chelsea in midfield caused them troubles today as they failed to have their usual grip on the game, Portsmouth certainly having the upper hand in possession. Portsmouth's trouble was that Chelsea proved stubborn defensively and the Portsmouth midfield failed to provide the killer passes, although their wingers more than made up for that. Chelsea struggled to break out as Matuidi and Gundogan dominated Lemina and Gomes, however Neymar was always a good outlet when Alves was caught up field, Lewandowski at his peak was the difference in this game.
