joe__the__man Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I think I'm going to ask Aulas to relay the pitch at Stade de Gerland, as the injuries sustained by Lisandro ( Twisted ankle), Kallstrom (Sprained ankle) and Cissokho (Twisted knee) have all been in matches at home. So the pitch might have played a part in the injuries.But thinking about it if I get the pitch relayed, the players won't be used to the surface and my 30 games unbeaten in all comps might come to an end. I dunno what to do. *sigh* Have a look in 'facilities', on the information tab, and it should say what the pitch condition is? ___________________ Lisandro scores his first hat trick of the season to give me a 5-2 lead to take to the City of Manchester Stadium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

batty1 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Juninho still has it at the ripe old age of 35. Lyon 2-2 PSG Juninho gave us a lead in the 16th minute with a deft chip from just outside the area. But then some **** poor keeping from Vercoutre lets Hoarau in to equalise in the 62nd minute. Just 5 minutes later Juninho puts us 2-1 up with one of his trademark freekicks. But some more poor keeping from Vercoutre allows Chantome to tap in the equaliser 8 minutes before full time. A fantastic MoM performance from Juninho. Bargain buy at £500K Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisandro Lopez Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Back on topic though: Hopey - what is your issue with Govou, as I mentioned earlier its early days but even so he's probably my 3rd or 4th best player (Lisandro, Pjanic and Lloris being the others). Scores, assists and generally drives defenders mental!Don't like it when Lisandro is missing though, Gomis appears to be a bit rubbish, I even bought Belfodil up from the youths for his debut when Lisandro got a couple of week knock. Seriously considering bringing Tafer back from Bolton. Is he good enough to contribute 1st season? He doesn't need to start many games, just for rotation purposes. He's decidedly average; he only has the physical part which makes him play better. He's on a ridiculous wage and he's a branleur. :*) Bafé isn't rubbish, he's decent. Tafer is more than good enough to do a job first season. Bernard Lacombe recommended him. Finally I have found the right way to play! I have scored 10 goals in my last 3 games. Bernard Lacombe such a great man! Tbh I can't understand why Hopey thinks hes crap in game. His wages are a bit high but if you could get him to lower demands hed be worth keeping. He's decidedly average; he only has the physical part which makes him play better. He's on a ridiculous wage and he's a branleur. :*) (Copy and paste ftw!)

transferking Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 hallo every new and old Lyon boss, tell to another Lyon newbie manager what have you done with all of your staff? Are they enough quality (3-4 stars as I understand mainly) and who have you fired / brought ? Who many coaches / scouts do you have? Who is your assistant? Which training are you using? transferking, hopefully in the very beginning of enjoyable adventure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
batty1 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Transferking I normally keep the current staff for the first season then replace them in the second season. My assistants at the moment are Bruno Genesio and Patrick Collot albeit their pretty crap. I currently have 7 coaches and 5 scouts.

transferking Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 thx a lot batty, will have a closer look into my staff after a while... What do you think about the starting formation of 4231 (2DMC - AMC - AMR/AML - ST)? Is it better to go with Toulalan and Makoun in DMC or Toulalan/Källström in MC? If this formation is ok, where do I need strengthening ASAP: is it right wing (who?), centre-back (who?), left-back to cover Cissokho (who?), another DMC in this occasion, younger AML for future (who?)? Also should I offload Clerc to give Gassama more 1st team opportunities? Is Källström out of picture (considering Ederson can cover Pjanic in AMC)? Has Boumsong future or should I change him with money? Delgado? Loan Tafer or not? Please give me some feedback.

Also should I offload Clerc to give Gassama more 1st team opportunities? you could make money selling Clerc but you could also keep him and rotate him with Reveilleire, and let Gassama substitute Is Källström out of picture NO(considering Ederson can cover Pjanic in AMC)?

Big thx in advance, transferking That formation is fine, Makoun or Källström will do a good job with Toualaln. You need to improve at CB (Sakho, Fazio, D.Luiz?), AMR (Feghouli, Mollo, Rémy), AML (Diego Buonanotte, Di María etc). I would sell Clerc, Boumson isn't that bad actually but can be sold if required. Delgado is a good squad player, you can loan Tafer out or play him. its scary how good he isHas won player of the month+ top goalscorer both months so far and has scored 17 of my 26 league goals.

transferking Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 thx a lot Purefun and HoPeY, yes, I'm on 10.3 and asked for more wages - GOT IT. Now, thinking about whether to go for new established centre-back (as f.e. Mexes or Gallas or maybe Naldo) or bring in future like Otamendi / Fazio / Kryvtsov/ N'Koulou (depends on negotiations, I guess). About wingers I have main shortlists as: ARDA (can play everywhere AMRLC); Barnetta, Vukcevic, Feghouli, DiMaria, Vargas. Also thinking about vdVaart seriously. There are some good strikers available in the beginning of the game, but if I want to go with one strikers and also give playing time to Tafer, then I guess there is no urgent need for new one (still, we also have Gomis). Will let you know how I've done with my transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
batty1 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Lisandro had an average season for me ( 16 goals, 9 assists and 6 MoM in 32 games) probably due to the fact he picked up quite a few injuries.

CPS Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Lisandro had an average season for me ( 16 goals, 9 assists and 6 MoM in 32 games) probably due to the fact he picked up quite a few injuries.Bruised rib - 7 days Twisted ankle - 4 weeks Damaged elbow - 13 days Pulled hamstring - 3 weeks Twisted ankle - 4 weeks Strained knee ligaments - 7 weeks That's very similar to my game, think he has 9 goals and 8 assists and I'm in February. Bit of 2nd season syndrome as he got 30 goals in the first season. transferking - Regarding wide players, Ederson seems to be quite underrated on here. I play him at AML, cutting inside or moving into channels and on cross rarely and he's scored 11 goals in 23 games for me this season which is a good return for his position. I have Gervinho on the other flank more as an orthodox winger and he's been great, within a few months of him signing Fiorentina put in a £22m bid for him. Michel Bastos is a very capable option also. Oh and don't sell Källström! In the first season I genuinely think he's a better option than Pjanic - I'm around 3/4 of the way through my second season and he has the highest average rating in the league. Advanced playmaker/attack is how I use him (don't ask him to run with ball often though). He doesn't score that often, but he weighs in with many assists and consistently gets at least 7.5 average and around 6-8 key passes per match.

transferking Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 so, major part of whealings and dealings done... OUT: Boumsong (6M from ManU) and Delgado (4,9M from Wolfsburg) IN: Arda Turan (15M over 48 months), Afellay (13M), Lukaku (2,5M+6,5M over 48m + Miguet), Digne (1,2M), Wilson (2,7M). As I asked for more wages and got it, I still have 9,23M to spend. I intend to go with 4231 formation (2DMC, AMC, wingers). Where should I strengthen? Should I offload Källström? What should I do with Gomis/Lukaku/Tafer? Squad ATM: GK: Lloris/Vercoutre RB: Reveillere/Cris/Gassama (Lovren if needed) LB: Cissokho/Digne (Wilson) CB: Cris/Lovren/Bodmer/Wilson (Toulalan) DMC: Toulalan/Makoun (Källström, Gonalons, Mehamha) AMC: Afellay/Pjanic/Ederson/Källström (Turan, Grenier) AMR: Afellay/Govou/Turan AML: Turan/Bastos/Ederson (Afellay, Källström) ST: Lisandro/Gomis/Lukaku/Tafer (Lacazette) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
