Title: Missing Men
Post by: Clampy on September 12, 2013, 02:44:04 PM: Something to pass the time until Saturday. I got them all apart from the midfielder on the right.

The whole thing threw me because we were probably playing 532 but they've lined it up as 442.

Midfielder on right of screen I got. The man who filled Roy Keane's gap in the world cup that had just gone!

Post by: ADVILLAFAN on September 12, 2013, 04:38:08 PM: They've got the formation wrong which doesn't help and I'm sure a certain Finnish goalkeepers name is spelt with the e and the l the other way round.

Yes, and I never believe anyone who says they get the lot in less than two minutes or something, impossible.

Post by: avfc_1874 on September 12, 2013, 06:38:12 PM: Gave up after I couldn't name the 8 lettered midfielder. Then shuddered at the fact he used to play for us.

Post by: Meanwood Villa on September 13, 2013, 10:11:55 AM: 3 mins 06. The aforementioned midfielder never used to play in that position which doesn't help.

Post by: Meanwood Villa on September 13, 2013, 10:12:14 AM: I think the keeper's name is spelt wrong as well.

I got 10 of them in just over 2 minutes yesterday, but yes normally it's a lot harder than that.

Me too. Fucking hopeless. As soon as I click the start button I just get total amnesia. If you asked me to type my own name in one of the spaces, I'd struggle.

Title: Re: Missing Men
Post by: ADVILLAFAN on September 13, 2013, 01:27:50 PM: I'm usually quite good at doing our line-ups and can get them within about 2 minutes, but this one had the line-up all in the wrong positions and spelt the goalkeeper's name wrong.

Post by: Tokyo Sexwhale on September 13, 2013, 08:26:56 PM: You could have given me a year, and I don't think I'd have got the left sided midfielder.

Yes. Very poor indeed. No chance with this one.
