Excellent month!

Basel 0 - 2 Newcastle United
Champions Cup Group Stage

View attachment 390406

MOTM: Ryan Gauld (Newcastle United)

Good win by my weaker/back up side as they controlled the game, also think they did well to get a cleansheet.

Liverpool 0 - 1 Newcastle United
Premier Division

View attachment 390405

MOTM: Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Incredible win as we are the better side and glad we managed to get 1 past the stubborn Liverpool defence... even better that it was Sterling!

Sheff Utd 0 - 5 Newcastle United
Capital One Cup 3rd Round

View attachment 390404

MOTM: Kevin Volland (Newcastle United)

This game was never in doubt as we totally dominated Sheff Utd as they didn't even manage to get a shot off in the entire game! Through to the 4th round where we will play Crystal Palace!

Newcastle United 2 - 0 Cardiff City
Premier Division

View attachment 390395

MOTM: Mateo Kovacic (Newcastle United)

Another easy win where we brush aside Cardiff, although could have been a lot more comfortable as we miss a fair few chances and also a penalty.

Newcastle United 1 - 0 CSKA Moscow
Champions Cup Group Stage

View attachment 390391

MOTM: Kevin Volland (Newcastle United)

It came down to a very late goal for us to win, which is quite disappointing as we were completely dominant, they didn't have a shot on target all game, and we still only scored 1... but at least we won.

Newcastle United 3 - 2 Norwich City
Premier Division

View attachment 390390

MOTM: Mayke (Newcastle United)

Scoreline does not reflect the performance as Norwich were really poor but they were actually able to take their chances. Could have been a lot more comfortable if we had scored more than just 3 of our 27 shots, 15 on target!

League

So we are now back to top of the table, 2 points clear of United, and now I hope we can go on and just make it ours for the rest of the season!

Champions Cup Group Stage

So half way through, 3 games in, we are already top of the table and clear by 7 points... even easiest than I thought!

A lovely 5 goal haul from the man of top this month, and it makes me wonder just where we would be without this guys goals!​

World Cup Qualifiers

A very surprising result this time around in one of them!

Spain 1 - 1 Isreal

View attachment 390363

MOTM: Gai Assulin (Isreal)

Couldn't believe this... how Isreal managed to get a point out of us I will never know! Should have recorded a comfortable victory here.

Slovakia 0 - 1 Spain

View attachment 390362

MOTM: Alberto Moreno (Slovakia)

This result surprised me as well as we should have also won this very comfortable but only seemed to be able to grind out a 1-0 win... strange!

So we have qualified for the World Cup! Absolutely incredible performance in this group stage as we win 7 and draw 1... hope we can carry on this unbeaten streak into the World Cup!​
 
Hi guys,

Apologies for no updates recently.

I am currently in the middle of handing in coursework and taking exams for my university course, and naturally, that comes first.

My final exam is on thursday and after that I am done.

Therefore starting this weekend there will be regular updates daily!

:)
 
If anyone is interested,

My tactic that I have made which is usually used in every game I play on this save, as well as also being used in other saves, and also may be known as the Shots Galore tactic, is soon to be uploaded onto this site in the tactics sections, available to download!

I have had a few people ask if they could use it and try it out, so think this would give a lot more of you a chance to use it if you want,

I will put a link in here to it when it is up!

Enjoy!​

November 2017

Still going strong with some more great performances!

-----

Crystal Palace 0 - 2 Newcastle United
Capital One Cup 4th Round

View attachment 388014

MOTM: Mayke (Newcastle United)

So we dominated Palace right from the off as was expected, they never really put up much of a fight or had much to offer, ease our way into the Quarter Final where we will be playing Norwich City!

-----

Chelsea 1 - 0 Newcastle United
Premier Division

View attachment 388013

MOTM: Aymeric Laporte (Chelsea)

So Chelsea were actually the better side in this game and probably did enough for them to deserve the win, think we could have at least played well enough to get a point though.

-----

CSKA Moscow 1 - 6 Newcastle United
Champions Cup Group D

View attachment 388012

MOTM: Kevin Volland (Newcastle United)

Just wow... an absolutely amazing performance, probably our best this season as we tear CSKA a new one and show why we are previous winners of this tournament!

-----

Leeds United 2 - 3 Newcastle United
Premier Division

View attachment 388011

MOTM: Kevin Volland (Newcastle United)

The star striker comes on to save the day! Put out a weaker side this game and somehow, even with us being the better side, after 60 minutes we found ourselves 2-1 down! Brought on Volland who instantly came on and won and scored a penalty! And then got us the win with a fine individual effort right at the end!

-----

West Brom 0 - 0 Newcastle United
Premier Divsion

View attachment 388010

Apart from the left back, played exactly the same back up side as last game and for some reason this squad just cannot finish! I mean I know the majority of them are teenagers or in their young 20's but I thought they would at least be able to find the target!

-----

Vitesse 1 - 2 Newcastle United
Champions Cup Group D

View attachment 388009

MOTM: Donis Avdijaj (Newcastle United)

Yet again we are rescued by a late goal! Played the weaker side again and this time even though they had more shots on target they just could not make them count! Though we were somehow going to have to settle for a draw but up popped our young striker Avdijaj with a header in the final minute!

-----

League

View attachment 388008

So with the loss to Chelsea and the draw with West Brom we are now in 2nd, 1 point behind Man Utd, also with Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City hot on our tails! Need to make sure we make the games we are supposed to win count now.

Champions Cup Group Stage

View attachment 388007

So unsurprisingly, we have already qualified for the knockout stages as we are 10 points clear of 2nd! Thats right! 10 points!!! Clearly the other teams in this group just aren't that good, or are equally good? Not sure! But all I know is that we have qualified easily!

Kevin Volland

Its that man again! Saved us in the Leeds game and had some good performances, such as against CSKA as he ends the month with 5 goals! Unfortunately he is out for a couple of weeks, and missed the last 2 games.​

Friendly - November 2017

We had our final game of this year with a friendly!

Spain 3 - 1 Australia

View attachment 388004

MOTM: Sergi Roberto (Spain)

Never worried about this result as I was sure we were always going to win, but Australia did put up a bit of a fight and did well to restrict us to just 3 goals!​

Some more incredible results!

Newcastle United 3 - 1 Leicester City
Premier Division

View attachment 387075

MOTM: Mateo Kovacic (Newcastle United)

So we kicked off December with a comfortable win over Leicester, of course we dominated the game in every aspect, and could have easily scored many more!

-----

Newcastle United 1 - 1 Basel
Champions Cup Group Stage

View attachment 387073

MOTM: Jonathan Tah (Newcastle United)

How... how... just how... How did we not win this! I have never seen us have a more convincing performance where we haven't come out with the win! Really surprised me...

-----

Pumas 0 - 4 Newcastle United
Club World Championship Semi Final

View attachment 387072

MOTM: Alen Halilovic (Newcastle United)

This is what should have happened in the Basel game... we dominated Pumas and easily got ourselves into the Final!

-----

Flamengo 0 - 4 Newcastle United
Club World Championship Final

View attachment 387071

MOTM: Mateo Kovacic (Newcastle United)

Great performance in the Final to win us another tournament! Lovely!

-----

Norwich City 1 - 3 Newcastle United
Capital One Cup Quarter Final

View attachment 387070

MOTM: Donis Avdijaj (Newcastle United)

Swept Norwich out the way to get us a very comfortable win, think we should have been able to get a clean sheet though! Through to the Semi Final where we will be playing Arsenal!

-----

Newcastle United 7 - 0 Sunderland
Premier Divsion

View attachment 387069

MOTM: Alen Halilovic (Newcastle United)

OMG this felt so good... to absolutely SPANK our rivals... we completely destroyed them! They only managed 1 shot all game and that wasn't even on target! Love it!

-----

Newcastle United 3 - 3 Southampton

Premier Division

View attachment 387068

MOTM: Kevin Volland (Newcastle United)

I cannot believe we threw this away! We only had to hold on for 20 minutes with a 2 goal lead... but thats football I guess!

-----

Swansea City 0 - 9 Newcastle United
Premier Division

View attachment 387066

MOTM: Kevin Volland (Newcastle United)

What a way to end the year! Think this definitely is one of if not the best peformance we have ever had under my reign! We just tore Swansea apart, and we could finish excellently today! 2 hat tricks help us to record our biggest ever win under my reign!

-----

League

View attachment 387064

So we are ending the year in 2nd place, 6 points behind Man City... BUT! We do have 3 games in hand, so I am sure we can easily at least get level, and probably even take 1st place back!

Champions Cup

View attachment 387063

So the draw with Basel didn't affect us in any way as we ended up finishing 1st in the group by 10 points! Easy!

Here is the draw for the 1st knockout round...

View attachment 387062

We will be playing Spartak Moscow next! Can see this being an easy game for us and we should hopefully record a comfortable victory and an easy way into the next round!

Don't think our group could be any easier! Should easily be able to make it through to the next round and win every game!​
 
Just thought I'd say your tactic has really inspired my Manchester United save, superb tactic thank you. Haven't had huge 7 or 9 nil scores yet but a lot of 4-0s and 4-1s.

You are very welcome! Glad it is working for you as well!

Yeah I mostly seem to get those kind of scores... but once in a blue moon we get the big scores!

Don't think I ever got scores like the 7-0 or 9-0s when I first started using it, just a matter of time though! :)

January Transfer Window

Surprisingly hardly any activity for us! Only 1 player joins!

View attachment 386965

So of course Rulli had already agreed to leave as he didn't feature in my plans anymore. I decided to let Thorne leave as even when he comes back from his loan he was never going to feature for me, and I think 6.75 Million is a good deal! Also decided to let Velasco and Zivkovic out on loan as they weren't getting to play much for us at the moment!

So lets see who came in...

View attachment 386964

Florian Biermann

May have cost a fair amount for someone who is just 16 but he has the potential to be an incredible player! Shame he has managed to get injured for so long, just after joining, and hopefully this doesn't hinder his progress.

So yeah... that's it!

Stoke City 0 - 1 Newcastle United
Premier Division

View attachment 386955

MOTM: Kevil Volland (Newcastle United)

Could have been more than 1-0 as we dominated the game, but with how our finishing was and our accuracy, it didn't deserve to be! So kinda glad with a 1-0 win.

-----

Newcastle United 3 - 0 Wolves
FA Cup 3rd Round

View attachment 386954

MOTM: Ross Barkley (Newcastle United)

So decided to play a team full of youngsters and back up players... and we still played incredibly! Wolves had no answer for us and we easily saw them off to book our place in the 4th Round where we play West Brom!

-----

Newcastle United 0 - 2 Arsenal
Capital One Cup Semi Final Leg 1

View attachment 386953

MOTM: Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal)

2 shots on target 2 goals. Do one Arsenal. We completely controlled them game, were the much better side, and should have recorded a victory here!

-----

Aston Villa 0 - 1 Newcastle United
Premier Division

View attachment 386950

MOTM: Ciaran Clark (Aston Villa)

Just like the Stoke game... should have been more than 1-0, but still at least it is a win and 3 points!

-----

Newcastle United 3 - 0 West Ham
Premier Division

View attachment 386949

MOTM: Ravel Morrison (Newcastle United)

Morrison comes back to haunt his former team with 2 goals and an assist! West Ham were just... so poor this game and thought the only way they could stop us was to foul us... but clearly even that didn't work! Hah!

-----

Newcastle United 3 - 0 Arsenal
Premier Division

View attachment 386948

MOTM: Kevin Volland (Newcastle United)

Why couldn't we just score like this in the cup game?! Felt good to beat them so comfortably after what they did to us in the cup game! Suck it!

-----

Arsenal 3 - 2 Newcastle United
Capital One Cup Semi Final Leg 2

View attachment 386945

MOTM: Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)

Screw off Arsenal! I hate you! Just stay away from me god dammit. Although Arsenal were actually the better side so probably did deserve the win, but still, I hate them.

West Brom 0 - 1 Newcastle United
FA Cup 4th Round

View attachment 386944

MOTM: Davide Santon (Newcastle United)

Another 1-0! West Brom actually put up a fight this game so it was quite a suprise to me! But glad we still did enough to come out with the win, even though it should have really been a draw! Up next is Man City!

Newcastle United 3 - 0 Tottenham

So after winning 5 of our 5 league games this month we finish the month joint top of the table, top courtesy of our much superior goal difference, but we do also have 2 games in hand so we should be able to give ourselves some distance at the top!

Also our great league performances got me this...

MOTM: Alen Halilovic (Newcastle United)

Thought this would be a bit tougher that it was! But Liverpool just aren't the same team they used to be... languishing down in mid-table and aren't that strong anymore! Comfortable victory.

Cardiff City 0 - 3 Newcastle United

Complete dominance from us today as we completely blew Cardiff away, of course it helps they had a red card.

Annoyed we couldn't get a huge result against them, as being a Leicester fan it would make me even happier! But still, at least we got the win!

MOTM: Mateo Kovacic (Newcastle United)

Couldn't believe how well we managed to beat the team supposed to be challenging us for the title! Played Man City off the park this game, they were always on the back foot, but obviously the red card helped us.

MOTM: Ross Barkley (Newcastle United)

Love it when results like this come around! Clearly people had their finishing boots on in this game as we absolutely demolished West Brom... with it being 4-0 at half time, I expected us to come out and sit on that in the 2nd half, but no! They wanted more! Love it!

Manchester United

So after dumping out Spartak in the last round, we now have the joys of facing Manchester United! This will of course be a tough game, but I think we have what it takes!
