WEEKEND EPL TACTICAL BATTLE: 3/12/16

MANCHESTER CITY (1)   -   (3) CHELSEA:

Pep Guardiola vs Antonio Conte:

It is obvious that tactical battle between them won by Conte but the fact is, Man City could be 3 or 4 nil up before Costa equalized.  So who is the winner between them?  Pep's football is unbelievable against Chelsea unfortunately, the discipline of Chelsea side won the battle.  I think we can try implementing both team's tactics in FM17.  Looks fine.

CRYSTAL PALACE (3)   -   (0) SOUTHAMPTON

Alan Pardew vs Claude Puel:

Battle between the mid table team.  Pardew team started slowly and gain their momentum as the game goes on.  Pardew in under tremendous pressure due to poor recent result for Palace.  In form Southampton team just beaten Arsenal in EFL Cup.  Here you go.

STOKE CITY (2)   -   (0) BURNLEY

Mark Hughes vs Sean Dyche:

Hughes has changed the way Stoke play since he took over from Pulis.  The current Stoke side like to keep the ball and play on the feet rather than typical Stoke City long ball game.  Sean Dyche is definitely underrated.  Burnley can be brilliant at home.  They are not afraid of any big team and play their own football.  Beaten Liverpool this season at home.  Let's see what can we learn from both teams.

SUNDERLAND (2)   -   (1) LEICESTER CITY

David Moyes vs Claudio Ranieri:

Sunderland is in good run of form.  Winning 3 out of last 5 games.  Sunderland has started to understand the type of football Moyes trying to implement.  As for Leicester, their team is struggling in EPL and competitor started to read their game.  Typical 4-4-2 and definitely weaken by the departure of Kante to Chelsea.

TOTTENHAM (5)   -   (0) SWANSEA

Mauricio Pochettino vs Bob Bradley:

A very obvious winner.  Tactically spot on and definately player quality between both teams is the key reason.  Let's see what can we learn from it.

WEST BROM (3)   -   (1) WATFORD

Tony Pulis vs Walter Mazzarri:

We are all impressed with WBA's performance this season.  They are in rich vein of form standing at No.7 in the league at the moment.  Their tactical approach is something for us learn if we look to manage a smaller club in FM.  As for Mazzarri, he played with 4-4-2 instead of his normal tactical approach.

WEST HAM (1)   -   (5) ARSENAL

Slaven Bilic vs Arsene Wenger

Kaboom!  I watched this game before I sleep and I rarely see any threat from Bilic side.  Rich of quality upfront but creating nothing at all in the game.  Arsenal were brilliant in this game.
