kidthekid Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Great season. Unlucky with the penalties in the final. The penalty shootout win against Inter was shocking. Only 3 successful penalty attempts from both sides combined lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcxD Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 Pre-Season 2030 No huge or shocking exits this time around, as back-up left back Carlos and back-up goalkeeper Borovicanin are sold alongside some players aging or not quite living up to their potential like Benitez (29, that's way too old ), Dabo & Stokic. Don't think Spanish newgen Quique is worth that kind of money (or likely to ever make it here) so he was let go to Monaco. I did spend quite a bit of money, with the 4 most expensive going to be around the first XI: Wolters a new AMC, Pavlovic a new MC, Benedetti bought back from Juventus after he was transferlisted (I sold him to them for 60M) as new AML and Jokanovic is a new central defender. Except for Pavlovic they were all transferlisted and make the squad stronger - not necessarily much better than what I already have but similar or slightly better, so that some rotation or injuries won't hurt that much. Really the only down side is that they were after a bit more money but for a CL finalist I had a remarkably low wage spend so it's not too bad, even if some of the current players will probably ask for new contracts soon. All within means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 August 2030 This **** again. Well, a decent start to the league, although not too happy with dropping points in the very first match. I have a feeling this has happened too often in games against Rennes for some reason. Lyon & PSG the only two teams to have a perfect start, what a surprise. It's not the worst draw, but could've been easier. Should still qualify, though. Almost feel sorry for Dinamo Zagreb... (or Fenerbahçe). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) September 2030 Very strong results. Not an ideal defensive record but I doubt that's ever going to happen with my tactics. Very important to have beaten Lyon at home.

MarcxD Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 October 2030 What a win in the CL against the Austrian Red Bulls and some other good matches; a big shame we couldn't beat PSG though. Especially at home. Good to see Lyon drop some points, and Monaco might actually be in the mix again this year as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcxD Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 November 2030 We are scoring and conceding, that's for sure. Great to get two wins in the CL and secure qualification, but it is worrying to get another loss, it remains to be seen how much PSG will drop throughout the season. Lyon not doing too well ATM, good... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Some tactical tweaks may be enough to sort out your defense, you should have good enough players to get those numbers down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is probably true. It has never exactly been my strong suit and as long as we keep winning I'm not too bothered. It could be a good idea to think about any changes though.

MarcxD Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 December 2030 A good run with some clean sheets, including a nice comfortable win over Monaco. Not quite a perfect month due to dropping some points to Lille, but all in all a nice run to go into the next year. Very interesting mid-season table, equal on points with PSG. Consistency throughout 2031 will be key to win the title again. Goals for and against clearly show our different approaches, can you see that PSG is managed by Mourinho? We're averaging more than 3-1 per game while for them it's more like a 2-0. Not the draw I was looking for... Liverpool may have only won 1 title during this career (back in 2022), but are still a steady top team and have won 4 CL's (2020, 2024-2026). They have been managed by Pep Guardiola since 2020 (!)

john1 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Brilliant December month Pretty tough draw and hopefully you can nick few goals in first leg before heading back for 2nd leg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
