Westlo Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hey all, loving my Everton save in Fm 14, currently in the 2016/2017 season sitting on top by 5 points over Chelsea after 30 games played, so far I've finished 8th, 9th (couldn't handle the added Euro Cup games, was very close to getting sacked), 2nd and as I said before on top in the current season. Played mainly 4-3-2-1 in my first season before switching to 4-2-3-1 for every season after as the main tactic. 2013/2014 season Premier League - 8th FA Cup - Winner Capital One Cup - Knocked out in 3rd Round Managed to beat Man United in the semi and Man City in the final. Best 11 --------------Howard-------------- Baines - Balanta - Jagielka - Coleman ----McCarthy - Keita - Barry------- Piernarr--------------------Duelofeu -------------Lukaku--------------- Sadly had to terminate Duelofeu's loan in dec since he had a 5 month injury, Barkley started in his place. Top Goalscorer - Lukaku - 16 (Jelavic 14) Highest Rated - Jagielka - 7.31 (Balanta 7.17) Fans Player - Jagielka Transfers Pre Season Window Incoming Connor Hunte - Free Jordon McGhee - 140k Seidou Keita - 190k Franco Zuculini - Free Balanta - 10M Outgoing Bryan Oviedo to Cardiff - 3m Darron Gibson to Southhampton - 625k Jan Window Incoming Javi Espinsoa - 135k Yossi Benayoun - Free for next season Henrique - Free for next season Mayke - Free for next season Jason Holt - 140k Giannis Gianniotas - 140k Tiago Neto - 975k (was done by my head of youth development, Frank Arnesen) Doria - 7.5m Outgoing Kevin Miralllas to Real Madrid for 9m Antolin Alcaraz to Tigres for 250k Leon Osman to Celtic for 225k John Heitinga back to Ajax for 1 million Also after our shockingly bad youth intake Frank Arnesen made up for signing Tiago Neto by snagging a 4.5 star potential striker regen by the name of Cameron Smith. All in all it was a decent enough first season, thankfully qualified for Euro Cup which is what I was aiming for. I was really going to miss Lukaku, but I thought that Jelavic played pretty damn well for me this season and I might be able to get another good striker on loan again..... but that's a story for next season's post when I get around to it.

Westlo Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Jesus, what does it take to get a 10.0? Against Spurs too, not some lower league cannon fodder In the 2016/2017 season the second last game of the season, my 2nd place side against Newcastle's 9th Lukaku just got a 10.0 rating after scoring 5 times in a 7-0 massacre (and we lost to 16th placed Wolves the game before 1-2 lol) Also have 9 out of 11 for team of the week lol. Unfortunately that loss against the Wolves cost me the premiership as the Spurs sealed it with a game to go. Anyway I got Lukaku back at the start of this season, in my save he got sold to Barcelona after he came back from the loan for 17.75m and he ended up rotting on the bench. 8 games for 3 goals his first season and than 8 games for 1 goal, so I managed to get him for 13.5m + two clauses added on @ 1.5m each, first 10 league goals and the other 50 games. Everton just got taken over right before this game too, holy **** @ the cash influx , I'm going to be pissed if the new board sack me... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am about to sell Jelavic (£5.75 Million), Naismith (£3.9 Million) and Pienaar (£2.5 Million). Will save me more than £100k per week in wages.

Meylan1910 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Made my gamble and will see where it leads. Baines has demanded a transfer so have valued him at £30 Million. No takers!!!!! Transfer business. Players in Chris Solly: 22: D R: Charlton: £4.2 Million Alex Schalk: 21: S C: NAC Breda: £600 Thousand Alvarez Balanta: 20: D C: River Plate: £11.5 Million Jay Rodriguez: 24: S C: Southampton: £7.0 Million Total: £23.28 Million. About half is over 48 months I think. Players Out: Steven Naismith: 26: AM C: Cardiff: £3.9 Million Steven Pienaar: 31: AM L: Newcastle: £2.5 Milion Nikica Jelavic: 27: S C: Monaco: £5.75 Million John Heitinga: 29: D C: Southampton: £2.5 Million Total: £14.7 Million. I probably should have gotten more for Jelavic, but I am reasonably happy with the business. Have brought in younger players and shaved £75000 per week off the wage bill. I am retraining Chris Solly as a Complete Wingback Left to play alongside Coleman when Baines leaves. Schalk has immediately gone on loan to Bristol City. With any luck I can sell Baines for at least £25 Million and use the money next season (assuming I don't get sacked!!!!) to strengthen other areas when Barry, Delofeu and Lukaku return to their parent clubs.

Westlo Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 how big is the cash influx?was it a tycoon takeover, or a consortium, or what? It was a consortium takeover and I basically had my wage build doubled and about 50mil for transfers. I would guess a tycoon takeover would be even more ridiculous.... I kinda went overboard and introduced too many players so team chemistry was stuffed, most were free transfer as well as a few "f it I have money" transfers. I think I was 16th after 10 games, no idea how I wasn't sacked @ that stage. Didn't help that all the money I saved for the Jan window went away as "finances" weren't looking as good as they thought. Luckily the team rallied from crap to mediocre and I won a must win game after getting smashed 0-5 by Chelsea. Than my 50 million man Carlos Fierro arrived, smashed 3 goals in his first two games before going into a slump and than finally coming alive towards the end of the season and taking over from Lukaku as my #1 striker. Managed to come 8th in the EPL and won the Euro Cup, wasn't far from being sacked at the end of the season... Got pretty much no money from the board, and I'm getting 40% of transfer fees now lol... sold lukaku for 38 million to Arsenal (20 upfront, 18 over the next 12 months) since I have Fierro, Barbosa and than 2 4.5 star potential strikers in their 4th season (one of them has absolutely dominated the SPL the last two years), 2 4.5 star potential strikers in their 2nd season and I just got a 5 star potential striker in my latest youth intake. Also helped out my wage bills only problem is just made arsenal really damn tough to beat... I nearly gave up on this saved and resigned a few days ago thinking I was going to get sacked, glad I stuck with it. Really should be getting better results than I have though... 7th + FA Cup 8th + 2013 FA Community Shield (Semi finals of Euro Cup) 2nd 2nd (Last in group stage of Champions Cup) 8th + Euro Cup (3rd in group stage of Champions Cup) I'm hoping to win the EPL in the next two seasons and finally make a decent showing in the Champions Cup once I get back in it. My current team at just after the start of the next transfer window ------------ Szczesny ------------ Silva -- Doria -- Jagielka -- Coleman --------- Modric -- Fellaini ------- Yarmolenko -- Dzagoev -- Duelofeu ------------ Fierro --------------- Sold Lukaku to Arsenal for 38 million but Fierro had surpassed him anyway. Sold Correa to Shakhtar for 17.5 million, he didn't get much playing time due to other team members and injury. Sold my starting left defender regen to the Spurs for 40 million since I had a massive surpluss in that position with Silva, and two other regens.. this season coming up was going to be his 3rd and he was already 4 stars for CA and his PA is 5 stars.... yeah he's a beast... but with his funds I'm going to buy another 5 star regen with a 15 mil release clause who's a nature left of right defender and centre as well.

Meylan1910 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 2013/2014 Premiership: Champions!!!! Not sure how on earth that happened, but I finished on 89 points and won the league with 3 games to spare. FA Cup: 5th Round. Despite dominating the Premier League, Derby stuffed me 3-0. Capital One Cup: Winners. Beat Man Utd 3-2 Top Scorer: Romelu Lukaku: 16 (13 in League) I applied for the Arsenal job but lost out to Roberto Martinez who then poached my Assistant Manager. Season 2014/2015 The board gave me a transfer budget of £25 Million and a Wage Budget of £1.1 Million. Neither Chelsea for Lukaku, nor Barcelona for Deulofeu were prepared to allow another loan deal. Players In Wilfried Bony: Swansea: £17.5 Million Dusan Tadic: FC Twente: £7.5 Million Gareth Barry: Man City: Free Transfer Asmir Begovic: Stoke City: £7.0 Million Gudmund Taksdal Kongshavn: Valerenga: £85 Thousand. Total: £32.08 Million. Players Out Tim Howard: Stoke City: £375 Thousand Antolin Alcaraz: Lanus: £400 Thousand Total: £775 Thousand. Big net spend, but as I lost my best striker and best winger I felt it worth the risk. Shane Duffy has been brought into the first team squad and will play lots of games. First Team Squad Goalkeepers Asmir Begovic Joel Gudmund Taksdal Kongshavn Fullbacks Seamus Coleman (D/WB R) Chris Solly (D/WB R) Leighton Baines (D/WB L) Bryan Oviedo (D L) Centrebacks Phil Jagielka Elder Alvarez Balanta Sylvain Distin Shane Duffy Central Midfielders Gareth Barry Darron Gibson James McCarthy Leon Osman Wingers/Inside Forwards Kevin Mirallas Dusan Tadic Magay Gueye Arouna Kone Attacking Midfielders Ross Barkley Strikers Wilfried Bony Jay Rodriguez.

c20th_boy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Been away from FM for a while and started again last night, with a new Everton game. Here's my early progress: Brought in a few new backroom staff members to get myself up to 4* training as a minimum across the board and to ensure the young talent in the squad can really develop. On the transfers front: Baines was being whiny and City offered £23m for him, which I reluctantly accepted. On the positive front, his departure allowed me to bring in Kolarov for £6m as they put him in the U21s. Given my tactic relies on wing backs, Kolarov's attacking abilities - combined with his set piece skills - made him a perfect replacement for Baines. I decided to shift Heitinga as his wages didn't warrant his role in the squad. Managed to get £2.5m for him thankfully. Jelavic fell under the same category, with Stoke being willing to pay £5m for him. I shipped Naismith out for £4m and got £200k for Hibbo - much as I love him, he was never going to play. Finally, I ditched Duffy for £800k and Vellios for the same amount. The money I had left has so far gone on Damiao (£5m), Balanta (£8m) & Revelliere (free). I tried to get Honda, but he went for AC Milan alas. Outs: Hibbert (£200k) Heitinga (£2.5m) Duffy (£800k) Vellios (£800k) Baines (£23m) Jelavic (£5m) Naismith (£4m) TOTAL: £36.3m Ins: Revelliere (free) Balanta (£8m) Damiao (£5m) Kolarov (£6m) TOTAL: £19m My squad at the moment is: GK: Howard/Joel DR: Coleman/Revelliere DC(x2): Jagielka/Balanta/Distin/Stones/Alcaraz DL: Kolarov/Oviedo MC(x2): Barry/Gibson/McCarthy/Ledson AMR: Mirallas/Deulofeu AMC: Barkley/Osman AML: Pienaar/Gueye ST: Lukaku/Damiao/Kone In terms of development; I've got Revelliere tutoring Kenny, Osman tutoring Lundstrom, Barry tutoring Ledson and Pienaar tutoring Green. Clearly the squad is thin and I'll be looking to use the remaining money I've got for another couple of players. Think I need a good prospect for the future at AML (to take over from Pienaar) and a more immediate solution at AMC (to give Barkley some time to develop). Will read through the thread now to see if anyone's had any particular success in those positions, but suggetsions are welcome! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gleesefc Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I've just started a file with Everton and haven't made any signings yet - nor do I plan to until at least Christmas. How have people found the development of Green, Ledson and Lundstram? I'm keen to try and retain a core of players from the youth academy but would like to know what success others have had.

EvertonblokesMobile Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have never seen Lundstram get good enough to make the first team. Ledson does well, I would see him as a future captain if I could stay in the job long enough! Green also improves, but I think you need to get him the right tutor as quickly as possible, I have been using Kanoute of all people! I have seen Joe Williams get into the first team squad and play a few LC games in one save, and in my current save Harry Charlsey is looking like he might make it to that level too. Hope that helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadessico Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Green doesn't seem to be anything more than a bit player for me, Ledson is a solid DLP, Kenny seems to be the best out of the kids though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gleesefc Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I hadn't checked out Joe Williams yet but will do - fairly sure his potential on my save is only two stars, same goes for Harry Charlsey. I was unsure on Kenny but I've got him being tutored by Coleman at the moment and his stats have started to improve massively - likewise with Ledson who I've just given his debut in the league cup aged 16 years 71 days! I'll try Green with Pienaar and see how that goes. Lundstram is in my first team at the moment, mainly due to a series of injuries. I'm hoping I can turn him into a decent DM though with the right tutoring and training. I'll post an update in a season or two and let you all know how they're doing - thanks for the help!

EvertonblokesMobile Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I hadn't checked out Joe Williams yet but will do - fairly sure his potential on my save is only two stars, same goes for Harry Charlsey. I had the same, but after ignoring them for tutoring and possibly sending them on loans (staff sort out loans for my kids so not sure if they went or not!!!) they just kind of improved. I will try and do a screenie of Charsley in my current save if I remember when I play next, I am sure hes up to 3.5 stars potential. It just goes to show the staff assessments arnt always accurate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvertonblokesMobile Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I cant seem to upload files for some reason, but Charsley is 2 stars CA 3.5 stars PA for me. Hes very balanced with the bulk of his stats between 10 and 14. Ave 7.19 from 16 u-21 games this season. He hasn't been out on loan so I must have been tutoring him a bit. I think he could be a decent player in the Prem, with the positions he covers I think I will keep hold of him for sure. If you want a screenie of him just pm me your email address and I will send it over, maybe you could have more luck uploading him. Joe Williams on the other hand is still stuck on 2 stars potential, and his contract is up this season, hes got about 6 months to impress the coaches enough to reach 3 stars or hes out the door, cant see it happening for him.

gleesefc Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 He's stuck on 2.5 stars for me so will most likely look to offload him at the end of the season. Ledson, on the other hand, has improved massively - in the first team squad now aged 17. I've persevered with Lundstram as well and whilst not amazing, he's performing admirably as a DMC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gleesefc Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Some updates on my team. I've been playing with The Fulcrum - Silk & Steel tactic and have had great success. League title first season and runner up in the league cup - follow by an amazing champions league win in the second season. I've not purchased too many players, the main one for the second season being Barbosa who after a slow start was fantastic upfront for me. Here's a few screenshots of how Barkley, Lundstram and Ledson have developed so far. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=231335919 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=231335878 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=231335833 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=231335878 These should work but if not let me know and I'll find another way to upload them!

EvertonblokesMobile Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I would say in my save Harry Charsley is about the same level as your Lundstram. He's 6th choice MC in my team and I work with 4 in the first team Squad so hes loaned out to championship Middlesboro at the mo and doing well. I have two MC's that I would let go for the right price so he could see first team action, and I did give him a game at the end of last season. Who knows?.....

EvertonblokesMobile Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 just a quick Charsley update! he spent season 4 on loan at championship Middlesboro and won Championship player of the season! currently he's 7th choice MC following a new arrival on a free, so will spend another season on loan......

123_efc Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Anybody got any tips on developing youth? Like, how much of a difference does tutoring make, how long should I loan a player out for, would a player not be better staying with us and our better facilities/coaches than spending a year at Swindon or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvertonblokesMobile Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The way I do it is to get them a tutor with a good personality as early as possible. I would describe a good personality one that shows professionalism, such as model pro, professional, fairly professional, resolute, or at a push spirited. I also like to only use tutors with a higher determination than the tutee, I am to get my players to a minimum of 15 determination. I do not believe this has any effect on the progress of the tutee, but I like a high determination squad as I believe it helps come back from a deficit in games. For the actual training I put them on whatever role improves work rate until their work rate reaches 15 as I like a hard working squad. Once a youngster has determination 15+ work rate 15+ and a professional personality hes ready for loaning out. Having said that by this time I have usually got him in the first team squad anyway!!!

Anyway, been given £38.5m to play with in the summer, with the qualify for Champions League expectation. Need a top quality striker if you can recommend some, and possibly some flairy wingers. Signed Sergio Romero on a free, Huddlestone for £10m, Gareth Barry on a free for back up. Dennis Praet for 4m, FCPs defensive mid Fernando on a free. Will probably buy Gaitan who was quality on loan for me. Just need a striker. Chelsea want £27m for Lukaku. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adzke Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I've taken charge at Everton after three years at Falkirk, and I'm having a blast. I took over following the 16/17 season, where the club had just finished 17th, just one point clear of relegation. They had finished 11th the year before, but had still managed to keep hold of both Barkley and Ledson. I've since sold both of them - City bought Barkley for a massive £32,000,000, and Man Utd signed Ledson for £30,500,000. I'm trying to sign young, talented players and ship them off for large sums, and so far I have done fairly well in that regard, selling for a combined £185,880,000 over the course of my three and a half years at the club. I have righted the ship after the near-disastrous flirt with relegation, and won the title for the first time last season (20/21). Now I'm setting my sights on the Champions League, where I reached the semifinals last year do to a bit of luck of the draw as I faced Roma and Benfica on my way to losing out to Arsenal (who eventually won the final against Manchester United). I have spent a lot of money on the clubs youth facilities, and I am currently reaping the rewards as I've had to beating players come through the club's ranks over the past three seasons. I'll include screenshots of them in this post, and I will be happy to show more, if there's anything you guys would like to see - just ask. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just coming to the end of the 7th season, our level is about 4-6th and has been since I started. Last season qualified for the Champions League and got knocked out in the Semis by PSG. This season we have Bayern in the Semis with a potential final against either Madrid or Barca. In the league got 4 games to go and looking good for another 4th place finish if I can keep the team motivated for the league while the glamour CL ties are still ongoing. Out of both domestic cups. Historically I have been 2nd place in manager of the year 5 times out of the 6 complete seasons. No cup wins, domestic or in Europe. Although I have brought us up to 9th in the Euro co-efficients with good runs in the Euro Cup and Champs League. I really need to win something soon or I'll be a scouse Wenger!!!

swisso Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 So with the under 18s winning the league this year, hopefully some of our youngsters will get a boost in the next FM (Looking at you Swisso!) Don't hold out too much hope! Most of them won't be around in a couple of years. We won the U18 title in 2010-2011 too... not many around now, only 3! 1 England Adam Davies 2 England Tyias Browning 3 England Luke Garbutt 4 England Jake Bidwell © 5 England Eric Dier 6 England Jordan Barrow 7 England Conor McAleny 8 England Tom Donegan 9 Republic of Ireland Ged Kinsella 10 England Anton Forrester 11 England Adam Thomas Substitutes: 12 England George Waring 13 Wales Connor Roberts 14 England Ryan Higgins 15 England Tom Molyneux 16 England Daniel O'Brien Hallam Hope, John Lundstram and Ross Barkley should have featured but were away with England or injured, but there's only really Barkley who's shown top level abilty.

JamieK2008 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Into 2nd season now after a solid 3rd place and a league cup win in first season. GK Costil/Joel DR Coleman/Hibbert DL Baines/Oviedo DC Jagielka/Balanta/Souttar/Stones MC Barry/McCarthy/Fletcher/Tielemans AML Falque/McGeady AMR Pienaar/Gauld AMC Barkley/Naismith SC Rhodes/Mitrovic My team for 2nd season. Lacking goals but getting better as season goes on. 8 games in 5 wins 2 draws and 1 loss in league which puts me 5th. Out of league cup to stoke after a painful last minute extra time goal. In champions league I have won all 3 games so far against Schalke, Athletic and AC Milan. What do you guys think? Any improvements? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janesy20 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 It's amazing how different everyones team is. I'm yet to see anyone with more than 2 signings which were the same as mine! Well anyway I'm into the fourth season having just qualified for the champions league previous season and currently sat 2nd after 10 games. Here's my squad: Transfers in: Ter Stegen (10m) Balanta (8m) Ginter (6m) Jonathan Silva (7m) Aurier (14m) Sergio Rodriguez (regen) (5m) James Rodriguez (23m) Bernard (21m) Ince (free transfer) Hughes (3.4m) Lucas Romero (4m) Benteke (10m) Mitrovic (10m) I really really want Lukaku and he's mine for around 30million but due to the nature of my spending I'm constantly in around 10million in the red. Kenwright is down to Happy to Stay so he should be willing to listen to offers any time soon and hoping someone will come in clear the debt give me a bit to spend and build a new stadium/upgrade the facilities. We'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapaJr Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hello guys, a quick question. My first season is about to end and i'm not so sure about our older players in the squad. Jagielka,Howard and Barry. Does their attributes will decrease by the second season? Because Jag for example still can be sold with a good price tag, if he plays like the first year i'll keep him but im not so sure about the aging.. And also, should i keep Mirallas for the second season? He played really good but i'm seeking a winger with better pace and higher crossing ability(especially because i still have Lukaku) So; Tim,Jag,Mirallas and Barry What should i do with them?

danm2501 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I try and keep all 3 senior players around as long as possible. Jagielka is still an excellent defender a few seasons in, and can offer vital tutoring to young defenders. As for Mirallas. If he's playing well, keep him around for aanother season, unless someone comes in with a big bid. I have sold Mirallas for £30m+ in saves, so I just keep him around until the big offer comes in, and make sure I have a replacement ready to go.

danm2501 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Started a new save as Everton with the LFC Marshall update, looking forward to having Romelu long-term. Made one signing in the summer, bringing in Jack Rodwell for £14m. Was quite a bit of interest in him, so wanted to secure him early, and get him on some decent training so he develops properly. Besic looks very promising, rated highly by my assistant, so hopefully he'll develop into a very strong centre back, and I can build a long-term team with him and Stones as centre backs. The only area I'm not particularly keen on is the wingers. Had a much more dynamic team on the original game with Deulofeu as a right winger in the first season. I like Mirallas and Pienaar, but they've got nothing on Deulofeu. I'll be going with the following First XI: -----------------------Howard------------------------ --Coleman------Jagielka---------Stones------Baines---- ----------------Barry-----------McCarthy-------------- ---Mirallas------------Barkley---------------Pienaar------ ----------------------Lukaku---------------------------- Looks very strong. Going to blood Stones from the start, and get him plenty of First Team football. Hoping that Rodwell and McCarthy can become a long-term centre midfield partnership too, looking to build a squad with a strong HG base. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewolves7 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Into second season with Everton, having scraped 4th Place in the First Season - was sitting 1st/2nd for large parts of the season but injuries and form let me down and we did well to win our final two games to secure 4th. Made some decent signings over the summer, such as Bojan & Jordan Rhodes. Nemanja Matic has also been signed on loan. Also signed Vlaar and Zuculini in the first season, and the team is looking like this: -----------------------Howard------------------------ --Coleman------Vlaar--------Jagielka------Baines---- ----------------Matic-----------McCarthy-------------- ---Mirallas------------Barkley---------------Bojan------ ------------------------Rhodes---------------------------- Good backup with Pienaar, Osman and Zuculini, with Cornelius my backup centre forward. Trying to offload Naismith if I possibly can. We qualified (due to our 4th position) for the 4th Qualifying Round of the Champions League as an unseeded team and were drew against Valencia. The first leg was away at the Mestalla, where we somehow pulled off a great 3-1 win, with Rhodes getting two which put us in the driving seat for the away leg. Following this, we beat champions Chelsea 2-1 with Rhodes bagging two more to add to his tally. The second leg followed, and a poor start meant we were 2-0 down at Half Time, at which point it looked all over. We scored soon into the second half, Mirallas with the goal. At this stage, it was 4-3 in our favour on aggregate. The hammer blow was a sending off for Seamus Coleman who hacked down Jonas in the box with 10 minutes to go, resulting in a penalty for the away team. Jonas stepped up to take it, and Tim Howard saved it! At this time, I took Barkley off for Stones, to fill the void left by Coleman. I also changed the mentality from Standard to Defensive which somehow resulted in us winning two successive corners, the second of which was met by Vlaar in the 90th Minute to seal the aggregate victory and make it 2-2 on the night. Really pleased with this result, and particularly as the Group Stage draw has resulted in us being drawn with first seeds Benfica, and second seeds Marseille (along with another side who I forget!). I really think we could get out of this group stage if I can keep Rhodes and Mirallas fit, along with Vlaar and Jagielka. Having signed Aaron Cresswell and having Bryan Oviedo as backup, I am considering get rid of Baines if a decent offer is received. Onwards and upwards!
