MH2k Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Yeah winning with your own tactic makes you feel like you earned it more - Mine isn't a default tactic but haven't really played about with all little nibbly bits just kinda set the formation and hope for the best if things aren't working i'll try change things abit to push for another goal or defend more if i need to not concede. ..and just realised my next post has to be a good one as it's my 200th!

MH2k Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Wow my 200th post is dedicated to my last two fixures: Everton at home.. and my last fixture could well be the decider to who will win the league.. Man United - away! With qualification already guarenteed in the Champions League my 5th game against Standerd will be one for the kids to go out and show me what they can, really looking forward to seeing who can make it up to the first team!

lfc7 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Haha my plan to play Lakuka has failed as a wk before the game he got injured and is out for 3 to 4 wks:( Hows Torres getting on as trequarista? also what instructions are you giving Gerrard? I have Torres as advanced forward with ball to feet as target man and Gerrard as trequarista there not doing bad but feel they should have more Torres App - 15 - Gls - 14 - Avr - 7.40 Gerrard App - 22 - Gls - 14 Avr - 7.48 also Villa has App - 8 - Gls - 7 - Avr - 732 What do you think?

lfc7 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Only just realised some great results youve had there MH2k Regarding tactics i done pretty much the same set a formation and some team instructions and the player roles but have touched player instructions too much messing about for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_mcm Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 i would tend to change the tactics between 2 or 3 possible formations between games. in the demo, as real madrid (hehe!) i had the assistant telling me what tactics the opponents performed well/badly against. but havent seen that yet in my new game with LFC. maybe its too early in the season to tell me that kind of stuff. anyone else getting that advice in the pre-match meeting? think im going to stick with my own version of 4-2-3-1 though. seems to be working well at the moment. but im only 3 games into the first season!!

MH2k Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Torres is doing brilliant as trequarista seems to fit him perfect. David Silva is playing behind Nando as Attacking Midfielder - duty to Attack. Gerrard plays as a Central Midfielder - duty to Support Torres = App - 18 / Gls - 22 / Avr - 7.62 Gerrard = App - 13 / Gls - 5 / Asts - 4 / Avr - 7.26 Silva = App - 16(2) / Gls - 4 / Asts - 10 / Avr - 7.27 Van Der Vaart = App - 13(5) / Gls - 8 / Asts - 3 / Avr - 7.19 Honestly i haven't played Gerrard as much as i would of liked VDV has been competing for the CM place and playing extremely well when played so i've been rotating them both and with Silva just being outstanding playing behind Torres he's kept his starting place. If i were you i'd have Torres as the trequarista / target man / ball to feet. Gerrard playing just behind as attacking midfielder / attack.. Unless of course Villa could be trained to play that role then i'd defo put Villa behind Nando. With Gerrard as CM - either attack or support duty.

Adam C Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Responding well to the dissapointing loss to Chelsea, 3-0 up at home to Wigan at half time, Aquilani made his debut, and scored our 3rd with a cracker from outside the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MH2k Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 lfc7 The coaches can come out with some crazy stuff sometimes - i tend to ignore them half the time lol. Yeah i wouldn't really go changing tactics if your doing well as what i say may not work for you, well no doubt it would but if your winning with the tactic you use atm why change it, unless of course you want to see more goals from certain players. I love Trequarista as Torres stays up the field at all time and when we counter they get the ball to Nando and he's off past the defence in no time and pretty much every chance he gets one on one he'll score.

sugary88 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Wow everyone is on about Lucas. He was pretty handy for me I would say.

lfc7 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Thanks MH2k my tactic is alright just maybe need to tweak the player roles on the odd ocassion but if the goals start to dry up ill change Torres and Gerrards roles to what you suggested Final Score B.Burn 1-3 Liverpol Gerrard scored in the 2nd half and it looked promising so will definatley keep it as a backup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only change i tend to make is putting Silva on the wing and Gerrard behind Nando against big teams as Silvas pace can tear the defence apart and the Gerrard - Torres link-up is superb when used. Good result there and a goal using that tactic is always a good start. Hopefully next season the board will give me abit of money hoping at least 25/30M - Sell Kuyt and Riera as they're not the kind of players i want as i'm looking to make us a team of young stars - with a few exceptions of course. Thinking of trying to either get Ashley Young, Theo Walcott, Juan Manuel Mata, Higuain, Carlos Vela, Ballotelli. Not being greedy lol.. But yeah i'd like to bring one of the above, i could do with a english player but Ballotelli is the star of the future. Walcott's favourite club being Liverpool could help with that transfer - He's also unhappy with Wenger atm for recent comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walcott's favourite club being Liverpool could help with that transfer - He's also unhappy with Wenger atm for recent comments. I'd say you could maybe get Young cheap. In an earlier saved game i was able to get Villa to take a straight swap for Babel but then Babel rejected it. Other than that, Mata sounds good but Di Maria makes a good left winger. I'd go for Young for the right. I'd say you've no chance of getting Vela but that would be awesome (and I didnt know walcott was a liverpool fan...!!)

lfc7 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Some nice targets there Followed the B.Burn win with a 4-0 win against man City at home (Torres x2,Gerrard x1) maybe i was being fussy about what they had scored as it wasnt exactly low goal to game ratio there stats are now Torres - A - 17 - G - 18 - Avr - 7.55 Gerrard - A - 25 - G - 16 - Avr - 7.59 Some for the time being ill stick with Torres - advanced forward - tm - ball to feet and Gerrard - trequarista ill see how the goal to game ratio is at the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MH2k Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I know - alot of un-realistic targets though, well there not that bad but i think it's obvious i'd only be able to get one of them and not all of them would be interested anyway, just have to see what happens at the end of the season. Yeah i mean i think they've got a good ratio personally, I can see Nando getting 30+ by the end of the season for you, and Gerrard will probably get 25+. Which is a good record for the pair of them.

matt_mcm Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 yeah, actually didnt think of the english thing for europe. i have always liked milner for some reason. im not sure what he's like in the game but think he's a great player IRL. hard working etc. i wanted young and milner. think milner would be a good replacement for kuyt (if you still have him), same work rate probably and better skills.

MH2k Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Ahh well Walcott accepted my praise although Dalglish's report suggests he'll cost around 30M.. We'll see what we can do in the summer. Milner is good on the game and would be a nice addition, I'm actually considering Joe Hart as back-up for Reina as it's another englishman. I have exactly the same english players as you lfc7 and i would prefere to have decent english players available in Europe that i can actually use than our awful kids.

MH2k Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Liverpool are through to the League Cup semi-finals! A 3-1 thrashing at Anfield against Chelsea has left the Liverpool manager made up. Gerrard scoring 2 and Silva getting the 3rd. with Joe Cole scoring in the 87th min to get one back for Chelsea. Next up is Spurs at White Hart Lane for a place in the final who will be against Arsenal or West Ham. Also transfer rumours say Liverpool are interested in a 3.3M bid to get Tom Huddlestone from Spurs - Manager MH couldn't comment but has decided to check out Huddlestone by scouting him as he needs more Englishmen Lee Cattermole has caught the eye of the Liverpool manager as he looks to bring in another DM/CM.

Adam C Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 well done MH2k Meanwhile I only just edge Pompeyt at home after we let a 3-1 lead slide after Mascherano got sent off and Gerrard was injured, but Benayoun netted an injury time winner, which was desperately needed if we want any sort of hope of catching Chelsea.

matt_mcm Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 lee cattermole could be a good signing... i had a game in FM09 as sunderland and made all the summer signings. they were pretty decent actually.

sugary88 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 To: Gazza D No!!! Absolutely not! Camacho is cheap on the game. I got him for 4.1m, which is slightly higher than what you can buy him for. But well, I was lazy to haggle over the price for such a great player. Lucas can easily for sold for 10m or more. --- Another great goalkeeper. Only if you carry on the demo save to the boxed version. And he's English too!

MH2k Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Adam C - Cheers, yeah i've been behind United by 2points for the majority of the season if i'm to have any chance of winning the League i have to beat them at Anfield on 23/12 then the last game of the season at Old Trafford could well decide the Premier League champions which will be the worst thing ever to go through! Matt - Yeah they want around 16M but i do really need a CM and a english one would be ideal even better than he's young. Huddlestone is the cheaper option and would be good as back-up for 3.5M they want. Sugary - Yeah what was i thinking telling him to go ahead with it he would of lost out! lol Sell Lucas for around 10M then just sign Camacho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam C Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Argh, Gerrard out for 4 weeks, missing our game at Old Trafford, which is a must win game I'm afraid, as Chelsea are still cruising, they've won 10 from 10, and we're 11 points off them in 4th. We're 1 spot of Spurs who are on 20 points, and in 2nd are Man Utd, who have 21 points, but a game in hand on the rest of us. EDIT: MH2K - I'd go with Huddlestone to be honest, Cattermole for 15m as a back up aint worth it, and I reckon Huddlestone could do a decent job.
