Dagenham_Dave Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Mega congrats on reaching the Final Dave!! Cheers. I had a bit of luck with the draws in the earlier rounds, and perhaps even more lucky to have a Championship side in the final, although I'm not getting too confident here.

Maw74 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 @Makoto Nakamura I know it was West Ham but really? where are the Fleetwood fans? with that low capacity you should be selling out every game. @Dagenham_Dave Great drama again, well done, was nice of Forster to dodge out of the way.

Dagenham_Dave Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Really FM? REALLY?? On the verge of sacking this year's game. In years gone by, this kind of rubbish was due to being over-attacking and letting the opposition hit you on the break. Not when you play a high possession patient passing game. Makes no sense. I had 563 completed passes to their 254. I can't even be bothered with extra time, even if we win it. Add this to the ridiculous situation with away games, and a lot of the fun has been sucked out of this save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirajzl Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 A big question; do you tweak your tactic from match to match or during matches at all? Since you basically plugged in Cleon's tactic from the counter-attacking thread, and some have done the same and reported poor results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

john1 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Been playing my Bordeaux since yesterday and we have started well in the league and Europa. Especially getting win over Napoli, despite us playing with 10 man in second half! Currently 11th in the league, few points off the top. Pavon - What a player!! Which I decided to get him on permanent deal Brought in Timo Horn to boost our goalkeeper and Wayne Hessenney on loan for cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxToBox Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Nice work, especially getting Pavon, I bought him at the start of my current season with Bradford, though from Fiorentina and for a lot more money.

I actually have a 3 year extension clause to be activated on his contract. Arsenal visit us next, and last game is at Old Trafford.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Just short of the midway point of season two (my first at Liverpool). I've tried to free myself of my usual tactical shackles, so am using formations I hate (4-1-2-3 DM Wide and 4-2-3-1 Wide) and aggressive football.

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 It's fair to say things have gone downhill quite a bit, we've had some very hard games. Admittedly Norwich and West Brom don't look very hard on paper but after 29 games Norwich are in 6th on 48 points and West Brom are in 3rd on 55 points, we're currently in 10th on 41 points.

john1 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Can only scout the UK You can only wait til the club expand the scouting assignment to other regions. Or you can look through their top clubs and look at their key players or youngsters, I would definitely recommend Elba Rashani from Brondby, brought him for Getafe for 625K, did well in first season, now second season, he's utterly brilliant, getting handful of goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Still ticking along OK at Anfield. Four points clear after 27 matches in the league. Just lost the Capital One Cup final 2-1 to Spurs, but should advance to the QF of the CL as we won 3-1 at CSKA Moscow in the first leg of the first knockout round. Financially we're in a bit of a mess; £3m in the red with £2m per month going out servicing a couple of bank loans. I want to move a few people out in the summer (Skrtel and Milner are getting on a touch and Sturridge's niggly injury record is annoying me. He's valued at £32m and I think I could get maybe £50m for him. Up front Kane has 17 from 21 starts, Ings has 11 in 15 and Sturridge 15 in 18.

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 End of Season 2024/25 In the league it was Celtics highest points total since the haul of 98 points in the 2016/17 season, we did well only losing 3-1 on aggregate to Inter in the First Knockout Round of the Champions League, they ended up beating PSG 1-0 in the Final. Key Players: Ricardo Horta Sadio Mane Matthew Ballantyne Lewis Cook For next season I've already got 5 players coming in on bosmans so I'll have a look and see if/ who else I can add to the squad.

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Rangers made it to the Premier League again in 2019/20 and stayed there until relegation 2023/24, they've been automatically promoted and are back in the premiership this season. In terms of bosmans I've signed 4 real players and 1 regen. The real players are Diego Reyes, Jack Grealish, Will Hughes and Mirko Ivanic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Our form is odd...after 12 league games we've lost 3, away to Dundee Utd, home to Partick Thistle and away to Kilmarnock yet in the Champions League we've won all 3 of our games so far 4-2 away to Steaua Bucharest, 3-1 at home to Inter Milan and 2-0 at home to Atletico Madrid. I go to bed very confused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxToBox Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Made a few signings for our first tilt at CL, rotation and options, etc, Gáya for the LB spot notably. What I wanted though, was one massive signing, and I'm fairly flexible, can be any of an attacking CM, left inside forward or striker(the squad can be slightly shuffled to suit), but I just can't find a player that ticks all the boxes at any position. Bernardo Silva looks fairly ideal, but 75m and 300kpw is massively expensive, being one footed could hurt at CM. Marco Asensio is the cheapest overall, at 32m and 70kpw wages, but needs development in attacking, and isn't as much of a hardworking team player as I'd like. Mario Gotze is the cheapest in transfer fee, but wants 300kpw. One of the classiest players, but with downsides in shooting, top speed and fitness. Christian Eriksen is at 60m and 200-275kpw, a good all-rounder, again shooting is slightly weaker than I'd like, but twofootedness is excellent. Stephain El Shaarawy 45m or so, and again 275kpw, fast and can find the onion bag, but collects knocks and has weak fitness. Ivan Caveleiro 50m and another wanting 275kpw give or take, finishing and passing could be slightly better, but is fit, fast and a worker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
