Their strengths were Strong in the air when attacking and consistently score from high balls in from the right hand wing. With that I'd set up my team accordingly. Tweaking my tactic to exploit the weaknesses and cover their strengths. Bringing in a fringe player to help with that, etc That's what the game lacks! Imagine then after a weeks preparation, Chelsea then counter your thoughts and add pace to the back 4 or one of your main threats injurers himself on the Friday?

I agree that it would be nice to have a more in-depth scouting report for matches like this. You can find all of this info out yourself, but it involves a lot of clicking.
