:laugh: It looks like Simic was penned in at the last second.

I don't think Original? will be appreciative of your mistreatment of his template. ;)

Rafa ftw. 3-1

it looks like you tried to copy Original?'s template with crayon.

I like Rafa's side, from that spot I think Elano could dictate the match.

[Bammers05]

Both teams are strong, but I think PEM will win this

PEM edges it for a 1-0 win.

PEM has an under-rated side, although I think you could improve your chances with a different layout. It appears as though Petit is too isolated, although Jenas and Veron will be nearby with differing roles - Jenas being the box-to-box midfielder and Veron picking up possession and spraying around a variety of passes.

Using a 5 man backline has limited Rafa's attacking potential, but given him the best chance possible of keeping the talented trio of Gekas, Arango and Arouna Kone at bay. Despite this, I still fancy Kone to be the biggest threat and Veron to put him in the clear to open the scoring.

Rafa's two forwards will be a handful, with Elano and Bodmer successfully linking midfield to attack, and Afonso Alves' phenomenal goalscoring record could be highlighted here with an equalising goal.

1-1.

Seems I named one too many subs, just take Basturk if you would please James, doesn't really matter that much though.

From 6-1 to 7-5, not impressed.. :erm:

[Nedy]

Rafa for me.

His attack looks very deadly and can decide this match.

Let's not go back to your mid-match moans of last season. If you do wish to post in your own match thread, cut assessments of the match out.

Back to the match, I think Rafa has enough to win this. PEM has some good players - Gekas for instance who is a very good goalscorer - but Rafa's side is well laid out and solid in all areas, with the extra class that should win it for him.

has my layout cost me votes? :crymore:
