Seattle slightly better

How their outside backs couldn't handle my wingers and I'd have 90% of the ball with Llorente to finish off all the created chances

[Killerjug]

90% haha no way

[D1RoseJM]

this one is hard.

[TrueFan420]

Only 5 votes?

most likely because its hard. i can see you have possession but not 90% of it. the players that you have on the wings wont really expose them because they tend to go to the center of the pitch. thats the part of the pitch that seattle is stronger. the cb's have the height and speed to counter llorente. however, you have a very underrated back line whom can adapt versus a lot of players. i dont know, it's still hard for me lol

Yea I was exaggerating but not by much... His best player in Ribery is matched against one of the best left backs in the world. Nasri has been shat for club for awhile and debuchy is a shifty rb that can match up with him well. His outside backs won't give him much width and de Jong and Parker both dont offer much going forward. His only chance of winning is if Balotelli goes off which he won't cause his service is lacking. Rosicky is underrated but not enough with Balotelli to get it done.

[D1RoseJM]

ribery wouldn't match up with cole, nasri would. you are right though about parker and de jong pair.

Truefan, if you wrote that at the beginning you might've won
