January Review

An amazing month. 9 games, 9 wins. If it wasn't for the second leg of the Capital One Cup, we would have scored 5 goals or over in every single game this month. We sold Martin Skrtel which was sad to see him go, but we also replaced him with a young prospect. With this month being full of wins, it really has pulled us up the table, here it is:

We have now extended the gap on Arsenal to 10 points, and unless this team stops performing drastically, I think we will win the league. We face United in the Capital One Cup final after knocking City out this month, so my target of 7 trophies is still on. Here's a look at next months fixtures:

A tough month ahead. 3 games back to back with City, Chelsea and Spurs in the space of 6 days could prove to be difficult. An away trip to West Ham which again is never easy, they are in the Championship so will be well up for the game. And to finish off the month we travel to the famous San Siro to play Inter in the first leg of the Champions League last 16.​

Another big win today over bottom of the league Aston Villa, Suarez was the man to watch. Again Andrew Wright scored for us, this time bagging 2 goals. For a young centre back to come into the team and bag 3 goals in two games is unheard of. He has been brilliant and it looks like he has a bright future ahead of him.​

This is all beggining to get too easy now. We swept Chelsea away to make these two difficult games seem like nothing. Suarez was outstanding again. Cavani tried to get his place back in the team with two great goals, but is he better than Barbosa? Not for me.​
 
Just caught up the last month's worth!

Nice to see Carragher back at Liverpool and your tactic is working wonders!

Wright also looks like he is going to be a great threat from corners, 4 goals already!!
 
If you haven't sold ward-prowse yet I would advise against it, given some time and some games he has become a world class player for my southampton save :)

I really don't know! Everything just seems to be working at the moment! It's good in a way, but does it take the edge off the story?

Wright is amazing! Quite strange really, he seems to score every corner, which is unusual!

Everyone keeps saying this, but he doesnt prove it when I play him. The only thing keeping him at the moment is his Home Grown status!

Admitted it won't be instant, but he will be better than Allen. Took me a while to get him up to scratch

Yeah maybe he will! Allen puts in a brilliant shift every time he is called upon though, Ward-Prowse meeses up pretty much every game he plays, he's not scored in two seasons, and hasn't even got one assist this season! He doesnt contribute much defensively which Allen does. He's 7th choice centre mid at the moment, so it is hard for me to hold onto someone who isn't doing much for the team apart from taking a big wage chunk! He has until the end of the season to prove it!
 
This is my favorite story out there at the moment, i also have a look to see if you have updated. Can't wait to see what you do with the team next as i'm pretty sure you'll win the league comfortably.

Keep it up!

Thanks mate, means a lot! Well this is the thing, if I win all 7 competitions this year, I'm not sure if anyone else will still be interested. Football manager is great but sometimes when you reach that unbeatable status people find a story boring to read, could I have some feedback to whether people still find this as interesting as the highs and lows? Being too successful could wreck the story! I think if I manage it this year I will do another season at Liverpool, then maybe see where I go after that.
 
I think you have a very good chance of winning all 7 as your team atm is looking phenomenal! I see what you mean that some people could find it boring but i keep coming back and i have read it since the start. Maybe if you do have an extremely successful season then maybe look for another job if that's what your interested in.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I think I will definitely stay for a third season at Liverpool, see if it gets harder and if I still dominate world football I may look for another challenge! Don't know if I could leave the likes of Barbosa, Coutinho and Sterling though!

Yea, I'd bask in the glory for another season & see how it goes after that.

The most important thing is that you are enjoying it, no point moving somewhere else, getting sick of it & the story ends. Try to think of something the Jamie's can really sink their teeth into!

Cheers mate, yeah I'm enjoying it! I just think if it gets too easy I might look for more of a challenge! But we will see for now!

This is a win that I will always love. Spurs really did under value me as a manager when I was there and to be where I am now is a brilliant achievement. They are now 9th in the league 16 points off the top four, they sacked me when I was 4 points off the top four. De Bruyne carried on his impressive form for us and Raheem Sterling scored a lovely team goal too. It was dissapointing to concede to 10 men, but we still won by a decent margin, as Cavani finished off the game with a lovely volley.​

Stoke and Leicester have made one month loan offers for Andrew Wright. I was tempted to accept as he will be guaranteed game time for the month, but I couldn't as he is my first choice cover for Chicires and Mussacheo. It just goes to show how highly rated he is.​
