[dimitrivdr]

Although the defence looks sturdy enough, Grimmer's midfield looks like a complete gamble. Dyer might not make it past 10 mins, Robert might not be in the mood, Adu is v. young therefore will have issues with consistency, with Maresca left to deal with the vast responsibility of linking defence and midfield while keeping an eye out for raids inside from Bowyer and Regueiro... Both strikers, though undoubtedly talented are rather green but should give players with limited pace like Dellas real worries on the turn.

Cali will almost certainly have a brighter afternoon in midfield although I wonder if they will be able to breach the N'Gotty-Haim barrier.

Sorry guys - 0-0

[CaptainCabinet]

Cali to take it for me, but not by much. I just see Yakubu turning up when needed and the midfield of Grimmer not doing a lot.

[Del Piero]

Win for Cali

A good defence , balanced midfield, and as Captain Cabinet said yakubu will turn up when needed.

Grimmer, just a few tips -

Carson should play over Kiely, Jaidi over N'Gotty.

I think personally :ninja:

[Scarface]

Grimmer, I feel Adu and Maresca is too attacking. I like Maresca, but it's a big ask for him to steady the midfield alongside the young American. I think Niko Kovac and Costinha would be very dominant in this area.

The young Theo Walcott and Sergio Aguero may cause some problems, but their lack of experience might limit their effectiveness.

I'll go into more detail later, as I haven't the time now.

I'm going to agree with dimitri on a draw.

[Nedy]

Cali win here. Better in all the areas.

[Preki-USA]

I can't decide who made the biggest gaff here on this opening weekend.

Nikos putting Totti at DMF or Grimmer here putting freddy adu in a deep lying central role.

FREDDY ADU CAN'T PLAY THERE...

Cali wipes the floor with grimmer here...leaving the floor dirtier than it previously was.

[Charlie: 9]

Cali to win. I feel his team has more of a balance to it and Grimmers should be using Jaidi inplace of N Gotty.

ok thanks for comments

Cali to win.

Grimmer, your team has bags of potential, but they're yet to be fulfilled. With the likes of Adu, Wallcot and Aguero, your team has a bright future, but Cali's experience will win today.

FREDDY ADU CAN'T PLAY THERE...



You beat me to it. :erm:

Anyways, a draw. Good luck to both of you.
