wow massive shocks! two favourites to progress, two favourites for overall glory, knocked out! just like that!

 

[Coruja]

Is it impossible now if my team wears Benfica instead of Tottenham?

abismal display by my boys this time. the midfield couldn't really feed the attack in good conditions and the sidebacks didn't go forward as much as they were supposed to, which led to e.g. Samu playing too wide...maybe I should've gone back to my classic 4-3-3
I thought I was uncluky in the first half since I conceded 2 goals in 2 shots by the opposition but somehow there was no reaction at all to it in the second half
congrats to Nady for his deserved win!

Ahh that sucks, oh well. May I ask which one of you simmed my game?

 

[Xifio]

people in my locale simmed the two matches in the bottom half of the draw ... Dytza simmed the top half of the draw ...

Cheers

Thanks.

Yes you should've played with 4-3-3 and Pato should have played. I wonder why you changed formation. Eto'o was so effective as lone striker.

Diego again. 4 goals in 5 games. He turned out to be a superstar afterall. I love Navas's crosses and great to see how well Diego and Fabregas are playing in midfield. Kallstrom is a solid DM behind them too and I got him in my last draft pick. Awesome to have Gerrard as substitute as well. His long range efforts could prove to be vital especially when trailing.

Pato did Carlos*sh't in the 3 matches I had him starting, and I had already changed my formation for the previous match and it worked (Bojan started instead of Pato and he inclusively had and assist).
against Awesomeness and Dytza I conceded in basically every single opportunity they had to score so I was getting frustrated by the scheme I was using so I had to do something about it.
but it happened again, against you now, in the first half you went 2-0 up in your 2 only attempts, while I had control of possession and managed to create at least the same amount of goal chances...then it was really frustrating to see my team not existing in the second half
