Here's my compilation of Racing players against Sporting:

Tziolis - playing as DMF. He stole two balls sliding, like a boss.
Looking at the first post, response at 77 is very low. DA 72 is not enough, I think a 76-77 is better.
I feel his Mentality at 74 is very low. Tziolis almost walks in the pitch, but did everything to win against Sporting.
He took good long passes (two I think), showing good vision. His short pass is what we call 'safe and without risks'.
Aggression in 75 is too much for the position where he's playing now.

Alvaro - Another great match from youngster, has not left anyone passing by, and increasing his place on the starting 11.
He's too skinny and small to play as centerback, but he's very solid on defending aspects, cutting and antecipating all crosses and passes that come in his direction.
I think he will be a good surprise of this team, very safe play at the back. It seems that he and Bernardo already understand themselves better than expected.
Response will probably have to receive in yellow. DEF almost yellow (78), and has only played 5 games in Primera! This value(DEF) will be raised during the season, I'm sure of it.
He's fast for a centerback. Doesn't go to attack the ball on his feet. Prefer short passes without risks. AGG will be very low and spa and sps will not be very high too .
Is solid in the headers to remove the danger of his box. His clearances have some power.

Stuani - Three words sum up his involvement in the game. So damn slow.

Munitis - I never saw this old man so alive and strong as in this match. A perfect first touch of the ball, helped the defense doing some sprints as in the old days lol.
He did an almost perfect center to Stuani , but hey, center with speed and danger + Stuani to score = Too strong cross

Pape Diop - This guy has four lungs, runs and steals balls all the game. He knows what to do with the ball at his feet, has fast movements, but only fails on one thing:
Game 1: Yellow, Game 2: Yellow + Yellow, Game 4: Yellow.

Acosta - Quick pal, if injuries let him play in January, he can make the difference with a most effective playing forward playing alongside him ...

Tone - Barely had to work on the game as the defensive line has removed away almost everything that has entered the box. When he was needed, he was key.

Bernardo - What a 'link' he is having with Alvaro. A superb game of both, where Bernardo has removed everything by air, and also he didnt let Barral win any aerial battle against him.
I think Alvaro is better than him, but Bernardo is better in body-to-body and in the air. Both lads are doing the offside trap perfectly.
It's not slow but not fast. I think he's better in the long run. Anticipates well, but uses a lot of strength.

Francis - Superb game from the right defender. He has been very secure in his actions, especially on defense. He has good positioning, is quick and anticipates well.
Could be playing in a mid-table team, I think.

Ariel - Balance is the key stat for his style of play. Uses his body strength well. The typical 'Target-Man'. Not always win the aerial battles, but is excellent in the air. If he find his form he had in Brazil, will make some important goals, but I think it will be difficult =( .

Christian - Great match of the sideback, not failed at anything, maybe he just could have returned to Santander without the yellow card.

Serrano - Hasn't shown anything interesting in my opinion.

Arana - Entered on the game taking the place of Jairo and gave the team a new look. Shot on goal dangerously, and Juan Pablo had to work. Very good long pass to Stuani, but you know what happened.

Jairo - The kid looked good. It is short and very quickly. His passes do not have much power, especially the centers, which are terrible = /.
He was annulled by Canella in the first 10 mins of the second half. Gave his place to Arana.

GREAT, GREAT notes mate, but I think that at least you should translate with google translator, it's easy and fast, don't you think that? I don't want to bother you, but may be there are users that can't read those notes because are in spanish mate.

[Xyder]

I took the license to translate my mates notes to english to be more easy to understand for the rest of users.

Haha, thanks Xyder. But it's clearly google translator I'll change it to a more readable and understandable English.

[Vickingo]

Great work of both mates! (I hadn't problems that would be in Spanish, but thinking in all users, the best is put in English, also the notes)

[Agüero]

I was thinking of making Alvaro soon, he has been great

I'm watching just Racing at the moment, this is a well covered team, but as always any help is welcome
