See, I think Johno & Syed's team could have been lights out, but that middle is just too unconvincing. If they could have replaced Senna & Mancini with all timers or close to it, their team would have won. You can just see that middle being over run against some of the other teams. The spine wins championships.
I think that's where Nedved and Beckham come in. They tuck in and make it a narrow midfield. Both with and without the ball. Nedved and Becks ran all day and were aggressive and could win the ball back. Senna, in this draft is an average player, but his role is simple and he has legs around him. The overlapping fullbacks are clutch. RVP and Mancini are not too of the line, but with service from Becks, Veron, the fullbacks they are put in positions to excel even more.
My issue with their team was that the CM and defense being unconvincing. Sammer in a back 2 isn't ideal and while their wing back are world class going forward, they aren't the best defenders. Attacking I thought they were excellent. Although with how good their wide play is, someone with more aerial prowess would have been a better choice to lead the line, not that RVP is a slouch or anything.
I know, imitation is the best form of flattery, and that the caf has copied lanman's original sheep draft with the exact text and all for a few years now, but they are now running one where they are just copying questions off this one http://www.redcafe.net/threads/the-fifth-redcafe-sheep-draft-round-4-turn-3.434101/
I know some people here have accounts there. Someone should call them out and see what kind of reaction they get. Not that it's a big deal, but that forum is full of some clueless fooks. It would be funny to see what they say. The last time I looked at the cafe, I saw someone saying we should buy Griezmann and play him as a lone striker and move Lukaku to RW because his fast and can dribble. Yep, that happened.
Not everyone here is bright either tbh, be it on this board or others. Not on Redcafe and don't care what's going on there, but I'm sure there are quality posters and humps alike. And apparently, there are lots of members, so it certainly stands to reason that everything, be it the good and especially the bad, is magnified anyhow.
Apparently you do since you felt the need to comment on my post and defend them from mean ol' Mizzou.
Very sorry about this. I had some personal issues, family issues and then work issues all come up at once. I'm still trying to catch up with a bunch of stuff.
