  • Maradona gets the sack. Are Argentinian FA doing the right thing?

    Maradona was not really impressive during the qualifiers. It would be understandable if he was sacked during that part of his reign. However Argentina performed quite well in the world cup itself.I know it's hard to stay on as a manager with ...

  • Should Arsene give another try with the 4-4-2?

    This will be interesting and useful when RVP is back. This way we can use the strength of both Chamakh and RVP, as they give up two different and complementary dimensions of attack. Chamakh has a good work-rate and he can use his strength to drag...

  • Lopsided 4-2-3-1

    Song stays deep, and when full-backs run forward for overlapping, he can work as a sweeper in front of the central defense during the counter-attack and inward run from either flank. Wilshere plays the link-up role between Song and Fabreg...

  • Formazione anti-Vesuvio

    My formation for match day 6 away to Napoli. Start Borriello, Vucinic, and Menez up top because all of them have been playing at most 45 minutes the last couple of matches and should be fresh. Brighi playing for suspended Perrotta. In the 2nd half in...

  • Liverpool v Blackpool

    A non traditional 4-2-2-2. The two central midfielders largely remain neutral while the attacking midfielders share the creative responsibility as well as feed the strikers more frequently.

  • Proposed Chelsea Formation (Oct 3 2010) Lopsided Diamond

    Chelsea tend to heavily favour attacking the Left, which means a more defensive Arsenal Right Back, or even a Centre Back would be appropriate. As Arshavin is reluctant to track back Denilson can provide support against the Cole/Malouda axis of attac...

  • Expected line ups for Chelsea vs Arsenal @ Sunday, 3/10/2010

    Both teams play similar formations. Chelsea will probably give Ramires and Mikel the license to attack, on the grounds that the game is at Stamford Bridge.I chose Fabianski over Almunia, due to Spaniards awful display last week. Wenger might not ...

  • Liverpool v Utrecht

    Torres on the bench, Lucas and Raul need to build up a partnership, Pacheco has to be in 'the hole,' he's not a winger! Babel is better on the left and Dirk can play either wing, though they would swap throughout the game

  • Sunderland's Press took the game to Liverpool

    Like the week earlier against Arsenal, Steve Bruce had obviously sent a message to his team to keep the ball and, with a three man midfield pushed higher up the field, it proved to be a pivitol moment in the game's momentum. Not only did it mean ...
