FC Ich spreche kein Deutsch - Russell Elmo

Well ive solidly confirmed my status at the top of the xbox pile

Played Azzy very good games has an epic cross on him

won 2-0/1-0/4-1 to hand me the title after 3 games

Website went more missing than the Arsenal back four in that first half.

We're gunna win 5-4 btw it's what we do

I hope so, I missed most of the first half and just switched it on at half time.

What happens to the website? I thought the world was about to end.

I WILL KERB STOMP PEOPLE UNLESS I GET RESULTS.

No sign of Hero, so you best get your kerb stomping shoes on

We could actually give you your result

Please

Twice in a row results are late, think runners should be deducted points or punished if lawyers, injuries and results are late again.

Don't say please, we the people have the power. Lets start a revolution.

They're not late Viva. There is no deadline, but in theory anyone who hasn't voted has until the end of today to get them in and only lose 1 goal rather than a default loss.

How can we do results if votes could still come in

Lawyers are up for both leagues

Thank you Afro.

I am open to cash offers on any of my team

Reading 4-4 Arsenal

I appreciate the offers Viva. Not sure I've had much interest in my players.

In fairness, for all except Mirallas, Verratti, Tevez and Afellay, I would consider offers around what a lawyers offers would be.

Those four would take considerably more

You know I find it hard to spend over the odds. I don't think I'll ever be able to break that habit.

Injuries up.

Thanks Marky.

Hi everyone, about to start on results now.
Did mean to do it a couple of hours ago and couldnt get on the flippin site so ate tea and did the big shop instead.

In regards to injuries can a player be injured two weeks on the trot?

Tempting fate... you haven't won yet

It's more fun like that though

Yes. No restrictions on who can be injured

I have Gargano injured again. I might have to sell him if he carries on like this. Perhaps he needs a fresh start

Cheers mate, I thought that was the rule in this league but wanted to check.

What exactly has Tello got, and now he has passed it onto Callejon! Grrr

Apart from the Spanish injuries done by Afro, I did the injuries at random, no bearing on whether they played or were injured last week.

Ditto on the ones I did. I didn't even look at who was injured the week before, just adapted the random selector in Excel that I use for lawyers

Paul Pogba is injured again, he really wanted to play.

2-1
1-0
1-0 Huntelaar
1-0 Draxler
1-3
1-0 Huntelaar

Total
8-6

Result
2-1 Huntelaar x2 - Cazorla

Similar sorts of lines up from both teams, how ever Moleisctsers Defence has the extra man instead of in midfield, I feel this will make them a little bit harder to break down. Iam also not sure if Huntelaar could break them at regular intervals on his own.
I feel the injuries hurt Moleicester this week and that Krauts did a great job of making sure that Cazorla's impact on the game was at a minimum. Ox would still present a danger but for me Krauts are just the stronger team.
I felt the Krauts edged this encounter. They did a good job marking Cazorla and their 5 man defence stood firm against the Moleicester attackers.
A tough game to call. Oxo on the right appeared to surprise Sour Krauts Full backs, with Simpson expecting to pick him up and Adriano bombing forward and not picking him up at all. Ultimately though, the inexperience of Moleicester in attack showed, with Rolfes effectively taking Cazorla out of the game, and Krauts did just enough for the win.
good game and a surprising score in a game many expected more goals.
The Sour's side still doesn't have the balance they need, Adriano works as a wing back but Simpson does not and I can't see the rest of the midfield dropping back to give Rolfes the support he needs. On the other hand, Moleicester would dominate the midfield battle and just have a better balance to their side. Good win for them.

An somewhere on a sport forum in the Internet world a very angry little man is arguing with other members why Pogba is so good and should stay. Lets call him Nico_Furioso.

Im not sure on Zidane using a 4-2-1-3 with 3 quite short players up front, as there is no one there to get the ball down and hold it up for a time, if there was a taller player there who could do this I could see this formation working well. It also leaves the wings a tad exposed. No Respek should be able to handle the oppositions threat well and limit there attacks with there packed midfield and keep attacking pressure up too
Nothing but a draw in my book with two evenly matched sides. Had Kroos been fit I would have backed Zidane to have won this but as it is Azzy/Viva had him perfectly sussed out. I think going forward both sides need to look at improving at the back, especially fullback.
I feel Pedro would get the beating of Neville and it hurt No Respek. The attacking tacticts of FC Murder were good and troubled the opposition defence. Also I feel playing a player such as David Villa to on the wings would not get the best out of him and think he would be best played in a central striker role.
A great game, which was won by the Dutchie controlling the midfield and the skill of their wide players. Cassano was lively, but Zidane's covered him well through his two centre backs. However, with the amount of possession Soriano and Parker were winning for them, it was inevitable that chances would come Dutchies way, and a moment of inexperience from Jenkionson against VIlla won them the game
Great game between the sides which had end to end football but both sides canceled each other out.
These two sides pretty much cancelled each other out tactically and it was impossible to split them. Defoe would have caused problems with his pace and Pedro would have given Neville hell, but I prefer the Dutchie's CM trio over Zidane's. Draw a fair result.

I found Deportivos tactics a tad on the long side especially when everyone elses have been a lot shorter this time round. Spanish Banks, formation is a bit different to what I would have expected playing 3 at the back with the cover just in front, I think this is there weak point and deportivo should be able to use this to there advantage to get some goals but spanish banks attacking might and will power should see them get some goals too
For me the difference was Bank playing Saviola who gave Djourou and Cannavaro the run around, its a pity that Jovetic didn't play as he would have destroyed the Bank defence (particularly Bosingwa who Bank need to look to improve on as soon as possible). Saviola scored one and provided room for Berbatov to get into before slotting the second away. In the center of the park it was much closer and Sharona possibly edged it but I feel that they missed the tools to fully unlock Bank.
Depor eased to victory, they had the better tactics and their players were more at ease playing with each other. Alba, imo did not have enough support attacking wise. Bank need more width to their team to get the best out of their players.
Two very evenly matched teams and an evenly matched set of tactics. Both teams looked to hold onto possession and be careful with the ball and this made it impossible to separate them.
SBFC just edge it in this game at the vary last few minutes.
The Deportivo side lack a bit of star quality upfront, Valbuena aside, while Spanish Bank have a side which fits together well, but playing the higher line against Saviola who is a quick striker was the killer blow.
Klose and Jelavic as a strike pairing doesn't really work for me, but the rest of the Deutsch side looks strong. Falcons put an extra man in midfield which helped them control the game but defensively they aren't good enough. Tight game.

Result
1-2 Reus - Klose x2

This game is proberly the tightest of the week for me and tactics and formations are hard to dissect to find a weakness for each. the similar set ups make it hard for eachother to break down and the 2 teams put on an excellent display
A hard fought draw with the wingers of both sides making the biggest difference to the outcome, Reus and El-Sharaawy inparticular were very dangerous. The two cf's were fairly anonymous with both sides cb's dealing with them well, unfortunately the threat of the wings was too much for both sides.
The Falcolns wingers were pretty threatening early on but Deutsch slowly got back in the game. I feel the aerial threat of Klose and Jelavic was too much for the Falcolns CB's to handle. Deutch's defence looks pretty good and the falcolns needed to put on a deadlier striker than Lopez.
A classic match. Atalanta kept possession in the middle, but FC ISKD targeted isolating their wingers, which took a lot of the threat out of their attack. However, FC ISKD didn’t enjoy enough of the ball to win the game either, so it ended all square for me
the falcons took an early lead but the German's managed to equalize just before the interval the game ended with a great through ball from Gundagon who found Klose who sealed it home.
Klose and Jelavic as a strike pairing doesn't really work for me, but the rest of the Deutsch side looks strong. Falcons put an extra man in midfield which helped them control the game but defensively they aren't good enough. Tight game.
