Good luck... you stokey cunt

[Top Gun]

An interesting match here. I would say that Original? probably has more class when you look at the teams at a whole but the way Nathegg is set up his players will have a hard time expressing themselves.

I don't think they would be able to stop Original? from scoring because the players he has in attack are top class but they wouldn't be able to get the freedom they would want with Nathegg having 5 at the back and 2 defensive midfielders. Then Nathegg's attack has a bit of unpredictability about it with players who can create a moment of magic out of nothing.

I think this will be a close game and will reserve my vote for later.

[Keyser Soze]

Although Nathegg's team would be very hard to break down, his formation does invite a lot of pressure and with the likes of Aguero, Aquilani, Del Piero and Crespo having a go - I'm sure they'll eventually finish off the game. Nathegg's formation is just too negative for me, although there aren't many weaknesses in Original's team to exploit so they weren't left with much choice but to try to hang on.

Original for me alos, natheggs team looks like it could leak goals which the likes of Aguero & Crespo will not hesitate to take

[Nedy]

NathEgg show a great opposition to Original? attack, but his attack is too good IMO, and atleast should score one goal and win this match.

[Don Sweey]

Crespo = over-rated now.

NathEgg = either listened to what I said in Original?'s previous match thread or they're thinking the same way as me anyway.

This one is close.

Im going for a 1-1 draw, I think Nathegg has enough to get a draw here. They have gone for a defensive line up, but to counter attack with Bianchi and Arteta up top. I think Crespo will open the scoring, but LSA will fail to kill the game off. Bianchi to creep in and get the equaliser.

Good luck Original?, duck.

[Scarface]

Smart tactics, Nath/Greenegg. You've got a solid unit at the back, but some good counter attacking players. Husiev and Drenthe are both able wingers with good stamina, so will be able to get forward whenever an opportunity presents itself. Maduro and Arteta will provide good creativity, and can keep hold of possession.

Original? has a big attacking threat with some of the quality on show in the final third, and is likely to create a few chances even when outnumbered like this, but I can see this being an exciting draw.

Goalless at half time, before Royston Drenthe drives forward down an open left flank and fires a cross low along the ground for Bianchi to slide in.

10-15 minutes later, Aquilani to find Aguero with a pinpoint pass, who makes no mistake and levels it up. The visitors then push for all 3 points with Crespo firing wide, but the away side hold on, with Odemwingie also going close.

1-1

I'll vote later for whoever's trailing.

[McGregor]

Nathegg has lined up very well with really smart tactics and would give Original? his toughest test so far. However I still feel Original? has too much overall class and would be able to play out a victory. This takes nothing away from Nathegg but as I said before I feel Original? is a notch above most in the division.

Crespo = over-rated now.

You can zip it. ;)

I'm not from Stoke :mellow:

Anyway all praise has to go to Nath here, I said we would not beat Original but he said maybe not but I think we can get a draw provided we counter his formation and NAth has been tactically immense. Fantastic work and I'm pleased to call him my Superior :smug:

Also you have a great team and have done really well since taking over the shambles.

[Bammers05]

NathEgg's tactics are spot on and could frustrate Original?'s team

Draw for me

[Phatmann2003]

The pressure from originals team will be too great for natheggs team to handle, giving original? a 2-0 win.

[Original?]

You can zip it. ;)

Today is the first time I've thought something positive after seeing Inter go 1-0 up... ;)
