EEK! Not a rip-snorting start inthe first game, 2-0 at half time, reverted to my usual for a 3-2 win... will give it a bit more time though.
It's possible my lowly teams players might be a tad too 1 dimensional.

interesting assistants advice at halftime in game 3 against a weakling.
"We should encourage our players to try a more direct passing play" ... umm, ok?
1-0 to the good at HT
58% posess
80% pass
5 shots
1 ccc
but getting monstered in tackles and headers...
Second half unravelled similar to the first, double the shots, 0 CCC's.
heh, I felt uncomfortable the whole time, and yet it's the best result ever according to the fans reaction.
oh well, that's Ternana aside in C/1B, now for Palermo in the Cup, fingers crossed, in holy water, lobbing a bag of salt over the shoulder, tying a necklace of four leaf clovers...

3 Vs Palermo
CCC way: Pumped 7 - 0, Fans devastated (no bar whatsoever), 5 players moaned about
My old way: Pumped 5 - 0, fans devastated, 3 players moaned about
Parked the bus 4-1-3-2 (no strikers): lost 1 - 0, Fans disappointed, no players moaned about.
OK Utterly outclassed, no surprises there.
At no point in any game did I have more than 33% posession, 60% pass, 3 shots, tackles fluctuated, headers I always got destroyed in.
Oddly, despite my Gk not being one to step up in big matches never saw below 6.7
Pretty sure the overall quality of my players aren't quite up to it, that said, haven't seen higher pass completions before
