O\'Hara_fan Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 The only problem is my defence is playing awful at the minute, whoever I play usually blows his chance after time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O\'Hara_fan Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 1/4 Update Premiership Results Strathcarnage 1-0 Sauber Sauber 1-0 Highbury : Cattermole FC LSD 2-3 Sauber : Henry, Malbranque, Eduardo Sauber 4-1 Kaunas : Ronaldo (2), Malbranque, Parker JJS 4-1 Sauber : Benjani Sauber 3-0 Bashley : Henry (2), Ronaldo Epworth 3-1 Sauber : Kranjcar Sauber 3-2 PJ Elite : Parker, Jenas, Riggott FC Bradbury 1-0 Sauber Premiership Table 1 : Afc Gillingham : 9 : 21 2 : Dynamo Zucabrest : 9 : 19 3 : Ridleys : 9 : 16 4 : Tampines Uno : 9 : 16 ----------------------------- 6 : Sauber FC : 9 : 15 ----------------------------- 18 : Toon United : 8 : 7 19 : PJ Elite : 9 : 5 20 : Trollz Utd : 8 : 4 League Cup Results Second Round : Hereford 2-4 Sauber : Ronaldo, Kranjcar, Benjani (2) Third Round : Sauber 3-2 Afc Gillingham (aet) : Kranjcar, Eduardo, Henry League Cup Draw Fourth Round : Jarrow Roofing v Sauber Stats Top Scorer : Henry, Ronaldo : 4 Highest Av. Rating : Henry : 8.45 Most Apps : Henry, Ronaldo, Carey : 11 Most MOTM : Henry : 2 Managerial Comments A very impressive start to the season, we have managed to start off with impressive wins, particualry the 4-1 v Kaunas. We have also got off to a good run in the League Cup, already in the fourth round against Premiership opposistion. My main concern is keepers, Pollitt, Schmiechel, Lehmann and Taylor have all played, but none have shone out. Schmiechel makes the games more intresting (3-2 LSD and 4-1 Kaunas), but I reckon Pollitt has been the most solid keeper so far. Injures and Concerns Mikael Forsell out for two months due to calf strain Wayne Routledge unhappy after no games so far Board concerned that wage bill is to high Awards Manager of the Month August : 1) Daniel Crickmer (Epworth), 2) me (Sauber) Player of the Month August : 1) Henry Manager of the Month September : 1) Arunas Mikuckis (Kaunas, 2) Daniel Crickmer (Epworth) Player of the Month September : 1) Henry Community Shield Ridleys Wonders 4-2 Bergkamp FC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Dazzle Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Using a VERY simple rating system of Poor, Average and Good I'd say your squad is: Gk - Good Def - Poor Mid - Good Att - Good Playing 4-5-1 I'd pick: --------------------Henry-------------------- Van Persie - Parker - Jenas - McCann - Ronaldo ---Hriedarsson - Henchoz - Riggott - Mills------ -------------------Lehmann------------------ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O\'Hara_fan Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Another thread which has been annoyed by millsy. It has to be mine. @St Dazzle - Thanks for the feedback and intresting to see how you would play the team. Though I like the 4-1-3-2 formation I'm playing now, and I think a second striker is better considering Eduardo has got the most assists. @COTA - Henry has been stand out, he's average rating is .33 ahead of Louis Saha overall.

St.Dazzle Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Disappointing results there O'Hara. What do the board think of your work? Playing 4-1-3-2 surely you're not making the most of Ronaldo? Eduardo is a goal machine when he plays up front on his own when Henry is injured. IMO!

O\'Hara_fan Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Disappointing results there O'Hara. What do the board think of your work? Very Unhappy, my major concern is, if we go down, which is very possible, our wage structure is going to be really bad, I can't keep some of my players as the board are restricting the wages to 13k p/w. Playing 4-1-3-2 surely you're not making the most of Ronaldo? Eduardo is a goal machine when he plays up front on his own when Henry is injured. IMO! It worked at the start, but I'm thinking its going all wrong right now. New update to come soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like Forssell and Van Persie have really come to light and I reckon with our new formation, an attacking 3-4-3, we have shone with it, like we did with the 4-1-3-2 earlier on in the season. It's now going to be a huge battle to stay up, but it will be one if we can manage it, will be very special indeed. Come on Sauber!
