Hello and welcome to our second match-up in the Liquid Football World Football Draft.

To start with, each team will be posted, but before making your choice, you have a chance to direct questions to each participant about any aspect of their team, and they will have the chance to answer them.

Also, both participants have the chance to convince people of their side in this thread by explaining what makes it so good etc. Please note that you are allowed to persuade people on this thread of your side's brilliance, but you are NOT allowed to try swaying people's votes via PM or any other facility not on this thread!

When I feel the discussion should be drawn to a close, I will post telling people they are now allowed to cast their votes. A poll however will not be made, and instead, you need to post your choice, and give reasons to back up your choice, to ensure fairness.

Voting
- Players must be judged solely on their performance from 1992 onwards!
- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<You are voting for which team you believe is best, NOT which team would win a one-off game. Teams are judged on an individual basis. VOTE FOR THE BEST TEAM>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
- Please bear in mind that football matches are not won on paper, so when voting, many other factors should be considered.

Triggle's team:

----------------Seaman------------------

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Trig: Kaka in a left-sided role?

Kem: Lack of pace up-front, does this worry you?

Neither person has argued their team but we can't wait forever, so feel free to start voting.

Both defences are very strong, and despite being unconvinced with Triggle's formation, he gets my vote as it's more difficult to keep his side quiet.

1-1.

Trigs wins this for me. His side is better in CM and im sure Kaka and Cole are interchangable. Not to mention Laudrup creating havoc. His fullbacks are weak defensively though imo. Kems defense is better but on balance Trig's side is better.

My team's the best because of our strength down the middle, and the two attacking fullbacks who will always be looking to overlap with Kaka and Cole to provide added width as Kaka especially will roam inside. Along with Leonardo providing support on the left wing, Laudrup and kaka will interchange with Laudrup using his quality left foot to pop in some crosses for Trezeguet. I dodn't really need to talk about the centre of the park because it's clear to see the great balance there. Gattuso's job is to break up play and make the simple passes as he did so well, Guardiola will dictate the game with his mercurial vision, passing and movement into space. The movement and interchanging of Kaka, Laudrup, and Cole will provide Guardiola with his targets to pick out. From there Kaka and Laudrup have the trickery and vision to mive the ball between eachother in tight areas and play that defence splitting pass to set up Trezeguet who thrives on sitters. Cole will be more of a conventional winger, looking to get to the byline and put some crosses into Trezeguet. This apparent lack of balance from left to right is accoutned for as Leonardo was very attack minded in his days as a left back, more so than Jorginho.

Gattuso, and Guardiola to some degree, will share responsibility when it comes to helping out the full backs because of their attacking duties, especially Leonardo.

I don't even need to discuss my centre backs really. Both were amazing, Baresi captaining Milan/Italy to 4 Serie A's, a European Cup and a World Cup final in between 92 and 96 before his retirement at the top, and Blanc winning the world cup and doing a top job with many of Europe's top clubs throughout his career. Great balance there too with Blanc's aerial ability and Baresi's unparallelled ability to pick off ground attacks without even looking like he's trying.

Safe hands in goal.

Seaman>>Julio Cesar
Kem's def>Trig's def
Trig's mid>>Kem's mid
Kem's attack>>Trig's attack

Formations are pretty equal, although I think Trig's defensive mid area is a little more cohesive and balanced. However I'm in love with Kem's defence and the team would pose a great threat going forward too. I think this is gonna be one of the closest matches we have in the whole group stage, but for me the winner just edges it...

Deary me this is extremely close. Adore Kem's front two, but don't think Rui Costa and Arshavin are natural wingers, so don't know about their positions. also I think Gattuso and Guardiola is a better CMF than Cocu and Ze Roberto. Prefer Kem's defence too, though that's mainly due to ignorance at the abilities of Jorginho and Leonardo. I'll go for Trigglebeef, just cos I think his team would work better in the centre of the park and with good supply for Trezeguet, it functions better as a unit than Kem's individually fantastic defence and attack but I cant see the team as a unit functioning as well as Trigglebeef's.
