Being a proud Liverpool fan, this is the one fixture every year that I simply refuse to sit back for.
Getting points is not enough, I need to beat the blue side of Merseyside! We dominated this game
performance was epitomized by the fantastic shift put in by our full backs.

View attachment 327940
An absolute screamer from Santi Carzola in the 88th minute gave them the 3 points. It was a
sensational strike(and came 2nd in Decembers goal of the month) so I had no complaints. I'd have
liked to come out of this game with at least a point but both teams gave it their everything.

I will cover this match in the next update.

Sunderland wouldn't roll over! We got out of jail with a Coutinho free kick 6 minutes
from time but it should have been a more comfortable match.

View attachment 327913
0-3 down, at home with 40 minutes left on the clock. . . . To survive this was something special.
Markovic played the part of super sub and Borini rescued the points with a dramatic 85th minute goal.

Another last gasp winner. We're making quite a habit out of this.

View attachment 327911
Could easily have been 5 or 6 but both Borini and Balotelli hit the post with finely struck shots from just outside the box. But the stand out performer was a MoM display from débutante Jerome Sinclair with two sensational finishes. We could have gotten a hat-trick only for his header being tipped over the bar. He's been in fine form
for the U'21s so I felt he deserved a run out.

Long term future at the club. I'm a huge fan of Henderson and want him running
the engine room in midfield for years to come.


View attachment 327887
he'll end his career here and I intend to give him a coaching role in my U18s and let him work his way up.


View attachment 327886
5 years is a **** of a long time but it also mean I may be able to sell him for £4M-£5M in 2-3
years and not risk him leaving on a free. He's a good Right Back and has a lot to offer the squad.

View attachment 327885
I was sure to tie down Flanagan as I have plans of him being first choice RB in 2-43 years time. The kid
is a local Liverpool lad and came through the clubs youth system. He's done well last season when Enrique was
injured and deserves the chance to show what he can do.

This is Anfield, and we were made for nights like this!

After being the but of England's European teams jokes for the last 4 years, It was
quite emotional to know that Juventus, a giant of European Football was coming here with fear
in their hearts.

We always knew this place was special; Not even the European Champions could
beat us here. Juventus are 1 point behind us and need to win, they need three points but we will
not budge. This is Anfield, and we we were made for nights like these.

The Team bus drove steadily up Utting Avenue, Stanly Park to our right.
There wasn't a word spoken by anyone. Steven Gerrard sat up front beside
me, pouring over notes about the Juventus midfield.

The fans had lined the streets, cheering we passed by. They knew what this day
meant and we knew what it meant to them. 4 years of waiting
and we are inches away form being amongst the last 16.

Haha, It was a great match. Glad to get one over on them since they so very nearly beat me in Turin.

Aye, I've high hopes we can reach the Quarter-Finals. I don't think we'll go farther than the Semis but still, getting that far would be a great achievement.
 
Fantastic work on beating Juventus, it'll be interesting to see how you'll manage against Leverkusen because despite being a "kind" draw they still have a pretty solid squad. Also judging from the ratings it seems that Balotelli is finally starting to do better for you despite not scoring many goals.

Aye, they'll be a tough side. They won their group so that can't be forgotten.

I'm still not convinced by Balotelli but I think I may give him until the end of the season to win his long term future.

He has 6 months to impress me

Tezzz said:
Thought this would be a good deal myself mate but Mignolet has been outstanding for me.

Also be wary that theres a chance he'll become unhappy and it will effect the rest of your squad. It could even land you the sack apparently..
Click to expand...

Aye, hence why I'm giving him a trial. If he doesn't get 8.0 or above with the U21's, I'm not taking the chance.
Also, Mignolet is in the form of his life for me too. Don't know why so many people offload him here. He's a solid keeper.
 
I would still say sign him as its always good to have two great keepers but the unrest with Mingolet could happen but im sure you will do the right thing!
 
great story mate.

try balotelli as false 9. in my save he scoring and assisting. usually from one of his shots, get parried by opposition keeper then my inside forwards have a tap in.

how is Joe Allen doing in your team? he has been my best player in my save.
 
One of the best storys about mate, Doing amazing. Who was in Leverkusens group for them to top it ?

I doubt I'll go for him, He wanted £105k + £20k a game bonus and his trial performances don't warrant him being on twice the wages of Mignolet; who's been in sensational forum. Too much of a risk. I'll wait for someone else.

Sterling and Sturridge are playing better. He simply is not playing well enough to earn a spot in the team and I'm not benching someone who is playing well.

Allen is playing well for me, doing a job but his oppertunities have been limited since Lucas, Can and Henderson have been playing fairly well. henderson had a rocky patch in October where he lost his place to Allen but they're both still important players for me.

Cheers my friend. I'd always be annoying my friends about the progress in my FM saves so detail is second nature to me. If I'm honest, I'm barely giving ye anything. If I was to tell ye everything I wanted to, we'd still be in pre-season :P
