tomtuck01 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thomas Lewis' Career - December 2021 - Manchester City Premier League What an excellent month; six wins from six, fifteen goals scored, and just two conceded. We opened up with a tricky game at Villa, which we won very late thanks to Mr.Reliable. We follwed that up by crushing Fulham and then comfortably beating Watford. Over Christmas the schedule went crazy, but using the squad to its fullest, with came away with three wins, and some top performances from my old Swansea boys. Super month, and our lead at the top was stretched to eight points. League Cup - Quarter Finals Comfortable win, which saw Neymar finally end his goal drought which went back all the way to August! Our opponents in the semi finals..........Manchester United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, an excellent group phase from us. In the next round we have been drawn against CSKA Moscow, dodging a few potentially tricky sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it should be relatively comfortable. Turning down 486m? Respect! They should hand you a nice pay-rise! Unbeatable start to the season - really looks like you could do a clean sweep this season... Should have no troubles with CSKA Well I'm not bothered abot a payrise, just want the glory. Good to see Swansea make it through the group stages - CSKA shouldn't cause you any problems The Swans are propersing under Quique Flores - they're well in the mix to finish in the tp four again this term. Great work! You could always go to another club and buy Malpass! My only worry is that he would cost an absolute fortune. Halfway through the season and unbeaten. Good job .Also, a nice bit of luck in the Champions League draw. Avoiding the likes of PSG and Napoli always results in a good draw. Thaks dude. And yeah I quite agree, PSG especially would have been a bit of a worry. Good work to win the group and go unbeaten. You've got a strong lead in the league too, clearly the right choice to turn down Real. I quite agree, not at all the right time to move just yet.

tomtuck01 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thomas Lewis' Career - January 2022 - Manchester City Premier League Not a bad month, but the defeat against Spurs could prove costly come the end of the season. Prior to that we put in a very good performance against Wolves, but against Spurs they simply matched us and got a bit of fortune when Mauro Vasquez bundled in an own goal. We bounced back though with a comfortable win at Hudderfield, before tearing Everton to pieces. Next us is West Brom away from home. FA Cup - 3rd And 4th Rounds The Stockport game was hugely frutrating. We took the lead in the 9th minute, but then it took us until the 80th minute to grab the second. An annoying performance to say the least. The draw for the fourth round was massive, and the game didn't disappoint. We dominated possession, they had more chances - all in all a draw was the correct result, and nw we look forward to the repla at the Eithad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtuck01 Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 January 2022 Continued League Cup - Semi Final Not good enough in either leg. We now have to beat them in the FA Cup replay to resore pride across the city and keep our neighbours quiet. Transfer Activity Just one deal of any kind this winter, and it was a signing of a youngster from Germany; Dirk Leschinski Offered to me by his agent, he had become unhappy at Leverkusen and was available for just £1.8million. He's another very good young CB to add to the collection. He has just recently turned 19 and already looks decent and his 3* potential means he has a fair bit f improving to do yet.

tomtuck01 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Thomas Lewis' Career - February 2022 - Manchester City Premier League An excellent month for us, with two good away wins and two important wins at home. We opened the month away at Andre Villas-Boas Wet Brom side, and scored a comfortable 2-0 win, Neymar getting a rare goal this term. A Lancashire derby followed against Bolton, and a tight game was won thanks Jason Malpass who scored on the hour mark. Chelsea then came to the Etihad and we put them to sword, racing to a 3-0 lead before halftime. Chelsea pulled one back late on, but the result was never in doubt. Our last league game of the month was a hard fought victory over former club Swansea, Malpass again getting the crucial strike. With four wins from four, I was awarded the Manager Of The Month for February, my third monthly award of the campaign. FA Cup 4th Round Replay And 5th Round Super performance in the replay against United. We bossed possession, and even though at one point they equalised to make it 1-1, we never really looked in trouble. We frustrated them keeping the ball in the second period, meaning they recieved five bookings and a red card as we aw the game out comfortably. Swansea weren't at their best in the next round, and we cmfortably beat them 2-0. In the quarter finals we face either Arsenal or Blackpool at the Etihad.

tomtuck01 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Thomas Lewis' Career - March 2022 - Manchester City Premier League Because of Arsenal and Blackpool having their FA Cup replay postponed twice because of a waterlogged pitch, our league fixtures were thrown into chaos. Only two league games were possible this month, both of them were wins thanks to Necati Yildiz scoring all of our goals in a 1-0 and 3-0 win. At the start of April we face Liverpool, the start of a gruellng schedule until the end of the season. FA Cup - Quarter Final Disappointing to say the least. We twice took the lead and surrendered it almost immediately. Also we weren't that effective when it came to creating chances, hence us having to reply on two set piece goals from a center back. If we get through the replay, we will face Chelsea in the semi final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtuck01 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thomas Lewis' Career - April 2022 - Manchester City Premier League Well the month didn't start well, as we suffered just our second league defeat of the season away to Liverpool. However, we bounced back in style by thrashing Aston Villa 6-0, with Jason Malpass in great form. After that we had a weird little run, starting with the game at Fulham which wame just two days after a Champions Leagu game. With a much changed team a draw was a good result. Just another two days past before played Wigan, and the 2-1 scoreline shows it was close, but it was anything but as we had more than 70% of the possession! We rounded off the month with a 1-0 win at Watford, meaning we need just a point from our last four games to secure the title. Our next game is at home to Ipswich, and I would expect us to wrap up the title then. FA Cup - Qtr Final Replay and Semi Final What a mamouth game against Arsenal! The game went this way and that, yet somehow no goals were scored over 120 minutes! The shootout was torturous; 13 penalties each, sme missed, smoe saved, others flying in off the post. Jason Malpass, who had missed his first attempt, scored his second, before Joe Hart saved to send us through to the semi final. We met Chelsea in the semi, the team who knocked us out at the same stage last season. We took the lead just before the hour, but they hit back straight away. Vincent Kompany hit a screamer to put us back ahead, before Malpass scored a goal on the counter late on. In the final we face West Brom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtuck01 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 April 2022 Continued Champions League - Quarter Final 2nd Leg And Semi Final 1st and 2nd Leg Well, we got through the Marseille game in most unconvincing style. They were excellent in the second leg and probably deserved to go through. The semi saw u face Real Madrid, and in the first leg we played very well, or more precisely we defended excellently and broke away three times, twice winning penalties which Jason Malpass converted. In the second we just defended deep in a bid t contain them, and actually it worked, (some tactical analysis here if you want to see). They did however take the lead just before the break, but we broke clear with 15mins to go and Jason Malpass rounded off a good move to send us through 4-1 on aggregate. For those of you who have followed my career, you will understand why the draw for the Champions League Final is a bit weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
