SRL88 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 SRL88's Career - July Friendly - Argentina Another comfortable win for us as we enter the Copa America high in confidence.

Champions League: I am going all out to win it FA Cup: Im putting my focuses elsewhere League Cup: Same as FA Cup Community Shield: We are playing Man Utd so we HAVE to win Budgets: Transfer: £166m Wage: £2,719,600 (Currently spending £1,362,500) Balance: 109,734,932 (+£7,786,652 since last season) Key Player(s): Fuska - Had him on loan the last 2 seasons and I finally decided to cough up £18.5m for him. Sergio Diaz - Having sold Kyriakos Papadopoulos in the summer, Sergio is now my main centre half. I need him to lead from the back like he did last season. Marcelo Chafer - Will most likely take over the captains armband over from Kyriakos. Ivan Segovia - Had a good end to the season and has been brilliant for Argentina in my two friendlies so far. Will hopefully have a good Copa America and come back high in confidence. Chris Ord - Its Chris Ord so he has to be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started with a 4-3 defeat to Mexico, but annoyingly found ourselves 3-0 up at half time and then I just dont know what went wrong but we could not handle the Mexican attack. I was shocked and that showed against Colombia. We had a man sent off early on and despite being the better side, they nicked a goal and took a 1-0 win. I thought we would be out so we just went out as normal and beat Venezuela 3-0, but thanks to Brazil thumping Uruguay 3-0, we went through to meet Peru in the Quater-Final. Knockout Stage So we have to settle for third place in the Copa America as its Mexico who lift the trophy for the second successive tournament. Im pretty disappointed with our peformance in the tournament, especially the group stage, as were the Argentinian FA, but they have decided to give me another chance and with the 2026 World Cup Qualifying due to start I have a pretty good opportunity to put this tournament behind us.

SRL88 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 SRL88's Career - Pre-Season - 2023/24 - Liverpool FC Friendlies A decent pre-season for us with some nice wins over the likes of CSKA & Besiktas. We were outplayed by Real Madrid but that wasnt to important and we go into the season in pretty good fashion. Community Shield Following a 1-1 draw, we went to penalties and managed to win the shoot-out to lift the Community Shield. Transfers - In I tried to cut down again on the transfer fee's to try and help the clubs running costs. Scott Kironde - £3m - Brought in as a back-up only and will be able to add cover in a few positions.Mauro Desabato - £2.8m - A young defender. One for the future. Petru Neag - Loan - Brought in as cover for the full backs currently at the club. Matteo D'Onofrio - Free - Youngster brought in and sent out on loan for experience. Jonathan Del Olmo - £1.1m - As above. Fuska - £18.5m - Had him on loan for the last two seasons and I finally decided to plump up the money for his signature. Transfers - Out Im pretty pleased with our sales this summer. It cuts a lot of costs at the club, and although Kyriakos will probably be a big miss, he was on £200k p/w and 32yo. I feel we got a good deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 SRL88's Career - August 2023 - Liverpool FC Premier League A perfect start to the season for us which included beating one of the bigger sides in Chelsea on the opening day. Always nice to get off to a winning start and we had to battle for it, coming from 1-0 down to lead 3-1 and then conceding late on to give us a nervy finish. Against Wigan we were brilliant. It could, and should have been more. There were numerous occassions when the ball was played into the box and a player ran onto it, only for his shot to rebound off the goalkeeper. A bit annoying, but a 4-0 win done the trick. I have been really impressed with the start to the season 16yo Gary O'Hanlon has made as well. Due to injuries I have been forced to play him in the first two league games as well as the Community Shield and he has put in some very mature displays for such a young person. Or yeah, Chris Ord started alright I suppose . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 SRL88's Career - September Friendlies- Argentina A comfortable win for us as we put our Copa America shame behind us and got back to normal. A nice 4-0 over Costa Rica with striker Diego Cortizo stealing the show. A big shock to our system. We supprisingly fell behind despite all the early running but soon pulled level. From then on it was just frustratin as we just couldnt breat them down and grab a winner. Thats all our friendlies out the way now. Next month we start our qualifying campaign for the World Cup with a home game against Paraguay before we travel to Bolivia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 SRL88's Career - September 2023 - Liverpool FC Premier League Our fine start to the season continued throughout September and got underway with a great win over another of our title rivals Man City thanks to 2 scorchers from Dan Cousins and an injury time 3rd from Raheem Sterling. We dominated Villa in our next game but they scored an 82nd minute goal to even things up and take a share of the spoils. I was pretty pleased with our next 2 performances. Having gone a goal down against Spurs we came back in excellent fashion to thump them 5-1. This was followed up with a hard fought win over Swansea at the Liberty. League Cup 3rd Round A very solid win over Arsenal which really pleased me considering we had a few youngsters out there to gain experience. We wil face Championship side Crawley in the 4th Round.

SRL88 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 SRL88's Career - October 2023 - Liverpool FC Premier League A solid month for us as we remain top of the league and unbeaten, but we were pretty lucky to do so. We started with a very good win over Newcastle away from home. With things tied at the break I thought it was going to be a one goal game but we took over in the second half and came away with a comprehensive 3-0 win. We followed this up with a nice win at home to Blackpool before a trip to Upton Park. Our unbeaten run should have come to an end there because we were shocking but the fantastic Chris Ord saved us with an injury time goal to grab a point. League Cup 4th Round We really had to battle for victory over Crawley in what was a proper cup tie. We were probably the better team but they made it very difficult for us and it was a second half Rob Wilson that won it for us. We have been draw at home to QPR in the Quater-Final.

SRL88 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 October 2023 - Continued Champions League We continued our strong start to the Champions League. I was extremely pleased with the win in Portugal. We were fantastic on the night and deserved the big win. Inter gave us a bit more of a run for our money and took the lead at Anfield. They had the better of the first half but after I had a go at half time we came out better in the second and 2 goals from centre half Sergio Diaz grabbed us all 3 points.

We really should have put a few past them but they frustrated us infront of goal. We went to Brazil in the next match with me thinking that we could do with coming away with a draw, despite it being early in the qualifying process. We did better than that however!!! Brazil had the better of the play overall and had more chances, but I felt we deserved victory as they rarely troubled us. We showed our clinical streak and came away with a huge 3-2 win.
