Mid Season Review

View attachment 441661

Our league form has been patchy but it's important that we finish in the top 3, I don't expect to topple the might financial backing that Monaco and PSG have but if we qualify for the Champions League that's more than enough to help us with this challenge.

Wow! This is ridiculous, we were looking the Europa League in the eye until we hosted Barcelona and managed to pull of the first result on FM that has made me cheer like a baby, how can this even happen. Barcelona were not performing at their best and Messi and Neymar were contributing but Muriel wasn't scoring goals but this doesn't honestly explain to me how we won. Luck is on my side.

This is one **** of a group to get out of and will help us breed confidence within ourselves and we know that the sky is the limit but we should also stay realistic, we were ridiculously lucky against Barcelona, the odds of this happening again are minuscule however we must take our chance.

A tough draw but after our exploits at home against Barcelona you could claim we can do anything on our day but Manchester City have their billions behind them just like Monaco and PSG so if we do lose in the competition we have nothing to be ashamed of.

We made a good attempt to prevent the expensively created Manchester City team but ultimately their class helped them over the line but only just and the closeness of these fixtures will provide us with great confidence for next seasons competition... as long as we qualify for it.

We qualified for next seasons Champions League which was the main aim but PSG's frailties were proven this year giving us more confidence that maybe next year we can topple their team domestically and maybe come away with the Ligue 1 as well as the Champions League.

I also picked up my first piece of silverware as Marseille manager as we managed to display a counter attacking master class only bettered by our Barcelona performance to lift the Coupe de la Ligue and give our fans something to shout about and give them the hope they need for what could be our season next year.
