Gamba Osaka a mid-table team at best? I'm sorry but apart from 2003 (10th) and 2008 (8th) they've finished consistently in the top 3 since 2002 and won the league in 2005.

Gamba is probably the most feared team If your team soley rely on players pysical strength to play .

Their two Brazilian Strikers get great pace and are very clinical in front of goals which means they can get much closer to the danger zone than normal Jap Strikers.The reason why Houston get destroyed is because the players in the MLS are too slow to match the tempo of Gamba Osaka which technically is playing the same kind of Football like the Spanish national team,Barcelona and Arsenal.
