2018/19 Summary --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As is clear from our average ratings - our midfield were the crux of our side. Cairney and Seri with excellent average ratings from our starters as...

May 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All three teams had home games and all three teams won. We held our nerve brilliantly, romping to a win against Southampton...

April 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My god did we make hard work of this. We dominated the ball without any conviction against a side that was staring relegation...

It will be tricky indeed. In my opinion Chelsea are a shoe in for one of the spots and we’re fighting Everton and Newcastle for the other two. Both of them are in form whereas we are now limping to the finish line. Although Europe seemed ridiculous at the start of the season, I feel it is so...

March 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The game could have went either way and unfortunately for us, it just wasn't our day. Newcastle are also competing for Europe...

February 2019 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What. A. Win. Our first big away win against one of the big 6 and that completes our double header against Arsenal. As you...

January 2019 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would have taken a draw going into the game, but we dominated this game. I am very impressed with the performance, going away to a top 6 side and...

December 2018 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A good solid win. Huddersfield surprised me and pressed very high and aggressively, causing us problems in build-up. After Sergio Rico’s shocker at...

November 2018 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A brilliant double from Mitrovic makes it 4 in his last 4 for the Serbian hitman and gives us a fantastic away victory. The Foxes will feel...

October 2018 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A very very goo win in a perhaps deceivingly difficult game. We got off to a great start, leading after just 2 minutes, before the excellent Tom Cairney...

September 2018 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A very frustrating match against a winless and bottom of the table West Ham side. We had the better of the game but didn’t create any clear-cut...

August 2018 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call it a defeatist attitude if you will, but I’m relatively pleased with this. The main goal for this game was to leave with some dignity and not get...

Pre-Season That was very…meh. I usually don’t particularly care for pre-season, it’s just a time to gain match fitness and try some players in different roles and see if any young players can make the jump to the first team. However, the first season’s pre-season is always important as you...

Tactics My tactics will possibly change throughout my save but the principles will be the same throughout – to dominate the ball and control the opposition. In terms of real-world examples, I want to emulate the style of Pep Guardiola, Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Tuchel – or something of a...

Key Players Tom Cairney Club captain and last season’s Wembley hero. An outstanding, technically gifted midfielder who has made the conversion from an attacking midfielder into a third CM/number 8. Will play as the link between the midfield and attack in the final third. I expect big...
