Liverpool FC Back to the Top

View attachment 361583There was rotation in almost every position for this one, after United gave us a battering, we had to shake it up. Arsenal were yet again having a really poor season but somehow Arsene Wenger was still in a job and they've managed to keep their star players. Given there league position we should be looking to win this game but I always seem to find it difficult against Arsenal and it proved to be yet again.They deserved to win the game, as yet again we played really poorly but we managed to ****** a point, we need to improve!

View attachment 361582
Ryan Fulton comes in for this one as Mignolet was sufffering from flu, along with some other rotation in the side. What a game this was, we could have been two up by half time but we wasted our chances, the game came to life in the second half. We continued to create chances and eventually with the help of substitutes, Suarez and Sinclair we managed to convert them. Unfortunately though our defence didn't look to great at the other end, as we conceded some messy goals, which were more down to our defenders than our young keeper, we managed to win the game though, 4-2.

View attachment 361581
Young Fulton continues in goal, with Mignolet still getting over his illness. We stayed in the game the first half, playing counter attacking football but in the second United were all over us and we couldn't stop them. I'm really struggling to pick up many points away from home against the top teams right now, that's frustrating from the team, losing to your rivals is never acceptable.

View attachment 361580
Mignolet is back for this one and he'll hopefully sure up the defence, after we conceded five in two games, without him in the side. After two big loses at Old Trafford to United, we had to put that right at Anfield, besides there's a place at Wembley up for grabs. We had chances to score but the goal just wouldn't come, I bought on some substitutes to try and make the breakthrough, it was Sinclair who did that, smashing home a penalty.

It got to ninety minutes and I was a little confused, I though I'd made a massive school boy error, thinking that we'd won the game and were going through to the final, in actual fact, there was still extra time to be played. I thought away goals counted in the Capital One Cup but we have to play extra time before they count, so I didn't change anything. If we scored they would be out but if they scored we were out.

Danny Welbeck went on to score a tap in in the 120th minute! Luckily the linesman flagged for offside, he was a couple of yards off, much to my relief, my heart was in my mouth. We did it, with a bit of confusion but we got there in the end. We're going to Wembley and not for the first time, Tottenham await in a difficult game.

I was really worried about all these tough fixtures coming at once but it's been ok, of course losing to United is never good but they are extremely difficult to beat at Old Trafford. Perhaps more disappointing, we didn't beat Arsenal who can't even conquer the top half of the table, elsewhere there was solid wins against Chelsea and United at home, so overall a mix of good and bad results. Next time, now that we've got those big games out of the way, we play some much easier games and we should be winning all of them.

View attachment 361381Plenty of youngsters on show here but I felt there was enough expeirence to beat Leicester. There was but our defending wasn't up to scratch, we gave them chances and they did score but having said that our attacking play was second to none. We could quite easily have scored more goals, Luis Suarez was the star man, scoring twice and assisting for Ryan Shawcross's goal.

Injuries just keep on coming recently, there's no long term ones which is good but we keep getting lots of little annoying ones, Shawcross will miss the next game and Sinclair is out for three weeks, both injured in that game against Leicester. The next round sees us play Southampton at home, I'm happy with that draw, it's also worth mentioning there's not a whole lot of big teams left in the competition this year, that's good news for us, hopefully we can retain the trophy.

View attachment 361380
If you just glance at that scoreline you might think it was a slaughtering, it was, we failed to finish our chances though. Newcastle stayed in the game until the 80th minute, when super sub Coutinho decided to bang in an eight minute hatrick. Great performance, we just need to work on our finishing.

View attachment 361379
Santon picked up an injury in training midweek, keeping him out for three weeks. I was expecting a difficult game, when you consider Stoke are sitting in fifth place but our lads really showed them up, there wasn't any special performances on the pitch but as a team we played really well, winning the game 2-0.

View attachment 361378
A much needed weeks rest for the team, they'll be completely refreshed ready to take on Swansea, a difficult test playing away against a middle table side. We had complete control in the first half, I was a little surprised but none the less we went in 1-0 up at the break. The second half proved more difficult though, we made ourselves a two goal lead but a mistake from Simon Mignolet let Swansea back in to the game, luckily though we managed to hold out for victory. Unfortunately we picked up yet another injury, Sterling is out for three weeks!

View attachment 361377
Solid sequence of results from the team there, we might of conceded the odd sloppy goal but we made up for it with our attacking play, scoring plenty and enough to win all four games. Next time we play two games in the league, both of which we should win and we also get towards the business end of the FA Cup and the Champions League, in the last 16, facing Southampton and Dortmund.

View attachment 361281With both Sterling and Sinclair still out injured, we're struggling a little with the attacking talent in the team, it's a crucial time in the season but luckily Sinclair has almost recovered from his injury. Sound performance from the lads, we didn't produce any fireworks but we got the job done, 3-0 flattered us a little but we'll take it. Coutinho picked up an injury thankfully it's just a knock, he should be back for the game against Dortmund.

View attachment 361280
Tons of rotation ahead of this one, resting those big names for the Champions League game against Dortmund coming up. It was the Daniel Sturridge show, he was in poor form lately but after coming on to replace the injured Coutinho against West Brom, he managed to score and then bag himself two goals here. I took him off with half an hour to go, giving him a rest, ready for Dortmund and his replacement Luis Suarez also showed some excellent finishing, also scoring a brace, Harry Wilson also had a fantastic game, assisting for two goals. We will face Swansea at Anfield in the Quarter Finals.

View attachment 361278
Our biggest game in a while now and it feels good to be back involved in the Champions League, after a break that was to long. Wow, they don't get much closer than that, either side could have won it, in a fantastic match. The second half saw the game catch a light, they got a man sent off and we went on to take full advantage going one up, Dortmund came back fighting though and levelled the match.

We took the lead for the second time from an own goal, before Hector Herrera got himself needlessly sent off very late in the match. Overall I'm pleased with that result, I was confident we could beat them at Anfield so taking a lead back home and two away goals is very pleasing, I have to be frustrated with Herrera though, who made a stupid tackle very late on.

View attachment 361277
Almost an unchanged side after that solid victory over Dortmund. We were all over them in the first half, managing to take a comfortable lead with us at the break. In the second half though, we seemed to fall apart and almost let our two goal lead slip, some poor marking let them in to score from a corner but thankfully we managed to hold out for the win.

View attachment 361276
The table still looks great for us and it looks like we're going to pick up our third Premier League title in three seasons, with a nine point gap over United with ten games to go. Elsewhere Fulham are still enjoying a fantastic season but fourth place maybe a step to far, Newcastle having failed to turn their fortunes around and Blackpool look like they could set an all time low, for least points picked up in a Premier League season.

View attachment 361275
Good games for us, winning all four is always good. We started off with some smashing wins against West Brom and Southampton, followed that up with a solid victory in Germany and finished it off with a close game against Hull, a game we should be winning more comfortably but still, it's a win. Next time we can win our first trophy of the season, by beating Tottenham in the Capital One Cup Final, there's also a Quarter Final FA Cup match against Swansea and the climax of our last 16 tie with Dortmund.

View attachment 360331Relegation struggler's QPR up next and we rotated the squad as much as possible ready for the Capital One Cup Final clash with Spurs. Solid performance and result to match from the team, we might of give them the odd chance but I didn't name the best possible starting eleven I could have so I sort of expected them to give us a little challenge. Sinclair was our star man, returning from his injury with one goal and one assist.

Unfortunately Jordan Henderson picked up an injury just before this game in training, keeping him out for a month. We deserved to win this but the ball just wouldn't go in, we managed to take the lead through a sloppy goal in the first half, Spurs equalised just before the break and it was back to square one.

View attachment 360325
We pushed and pushed for the winner in the second half, eventually super sub Jordon Ibe converted with a brilliant finish. The team made it hard for themselves but as you can see from those stats, we definitely deserved the trophy and it's great to see us retain it, winning it three times in a row.

View attachment 360326
View attachment 360324
The same team that beat Spurs play here, just one tactical switch though, Sturridge and Suarez swap places, Suarez was hitting some form play up front but in recent games he's not been that great so Sturridge wins his place back. We dominated Swansea but we couldn't find the breakthrough, the second half came and Suarez and Sturridge combined to put us in front. I gave those two a rest and brought on Ibe and Sinclair and they also combined really well, both assisting each others goals. We certainly got the easier draw and I fancy our chances to reach the Final against Championship side Bolton.

View attachment 360322
Hector Herrera will serve his suspension in this one, after his frustrating sending off in the first game. We had the much better of the play here but we just couldn't find the net, it looked like that was how it was going to end, until late in the game when Mamadou Sakho score from a Luis Suarez free kick, deserved victory.

View attachment 360321
Absolutely nothing wrong with those results, I don't think I can fault a single thing about these results, we possibly could have scored one or two more against Dortmund but they're a good side and we've got the job done, that's what matters. Next time we play nothing but league games, some tough ones away to Everton and Man City, while Fulham and Tottenham at home will be a decent tests.

View attachment 360246Just a quick note before we start this update, the Champions League Quarter Final draw was announced and we face Newcastle, well I wasn't expecting that and I'm very confident we can progress to the Semis. The next fixtures I showed at the end of the last update have now been changed but I'll show you our results at the end of this update.

View attachment 360251
Sterling comes back from injury, taking the place of the tired Luis Suarez. Fantastic result from the team, despite Everton being down close to the relegation zone, it was a tough match, they created plenty of chances and to be fair it was a really close match. 4-0 doesn't tell the whole story, the difference was our finishing was clinical and there's wasn't, particularly Raheem Sterling, who was brilliant.

View attachment 360250
Not many changes for this one, in a game that I knew would be really difficult, we would have to work very hard to get anything out of it. Wow I certianly wasn't expecting that, we didn't deserve to win the game, City had bundles of chances and we didn't defend well at all, they were just poor at finishing. We were more clinical, Sterling had another brilliant game and a mistake from Joe Hart let Sinclair in to score the winner in added time.

View attachment 360249
Henderson is back for this one, after returning from injury and he replaces Joe Allen. We dominated Newcastle and we had the chances to really take control of the tie, by scoring two or three but we couldn't manage it. Coutinho did manage to grab us a goal though and although I'm disappointed we didn't get another one, we didn't concede an away goal and we'll be taking a lead in to the second leg.

View attachment 360248
I rotated almost the whole team here, with the league title almost wrapped up, we could afford to rest our star players ready for the second leg against Newcastle, despite the fact we were playing fifth place Fulham. I wasn't expecting our lads to perform so well out there, we took a deserved victory and although at times our defending was poor, I'm very happy with that result.

View attachment 360247
Like I said before the title is almost wrapped up, with six games to go and a fourteen point gap, we need just four points from our last six games to lift the trophy for the third successive year. Elsewhere I can't believe what's going on at Newcastle, they'll need to do something quite incredible to get out of the relegation zone, before the end of the season but yet they're in the Quarter Finals of the Champions League facing Liverpool!

View attachment 360245
Again I can't fault any of these results, the Fulham game surprised me that we played so well, we might of grabbed another goal against Newcastle and the away games against City and Everton are fantastic results. Next we've got a tough game In Newcastle with a place in the last four of the Champions League at stake and a big game against Bolton, playing at Wembley, we can get one step closer to the FA Cup.

View attachment 360133Henderson is banned, after picking up his third yellow card in Europe in the last European game, elsewhere I'm beginning to find it bit of a dilemma on who to select in those front three positions, Sturridge, Sterling, Suarez or Coutinho, Sturridge unfortunately misses out for this one. Wow what a dirty game, particularly from our team, really frustrating and we even got a man sent off, Yacob.

The negatives didn't end there we played poorly as well and scraped through to the Semis in a really close game. Despite being deservedly sent off in one of the biggest games of our season, Yacob didn't think he deserved to be fined. He can sit in the reserves for all I care, he's not had the greatest of seasons either, he'll probably be on his way out, this summer. I almost forget with all these drama we're through to the Semi Finals! We'll face a really tough tie against Chelsea next but it certainly could of been tougher, with United and Barca contesting the other Semi.

Bolton in the FA Cup Semi Final up next and there were quite a few players who needed a rest, we rotated the squad loads, with some of the youngsters getting a chance. Bolton made it difficult for us in the first half but we managed to make the breakthrough just before the break, from a Daniel Sturridge header. Richardson got himself sent off in the second half and we cruised to victory, with Jordin Ibe adding the second, Tottenham await in the final.

View attachment 360130
A warm up to the FA Cup Final at Anfield now, as we face Spurs at home and the big names come back in to the side. A rare goal from Joe Allen saw us take the lead, before Sinclair came on to make it two and that was game over. We absolutely slaughtered Spurs and they barely had a shot, hopefully that'll be a sign of things to come as we face them for the second time, in the second domestic final of the season. Unfortunately Sturridge picked up any injury keeping him out for two weeks.

View attachment 360129
Plenty of rotation for this one as we rest the big boys for the Champions League game against Chelsea up next, Sturridge will miss that game. A point here would win us the title but we managed to surprisingly take all three, it was a really close match but an incredible Ryan Shawcross volley was the difference. We lift the title for the third successive season and with four games to go!

More good news for the club as Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard finally agrees to join my coaching team, he's got a 4/5 star rating in ball control. After I'd approached him about ten times since he retired last year, he just didn't want to talk to me but he's come round and I'm very happy to have him.

View attachment 360126
We started off this update with a poor draw away to Newcastle, a really dirty game that we should be winning but we kicked on with impressive victories over Bolton and Tottenham and finished by just about seeing off Aston Villa. Next time the season is come to a climax and there's still plenty to play for, with a Champions League Semi Final tie against Chelsea and the FA Cup Final against Tottenham to come.

View attachment 359812The big players come back in for this one, unfortunately our captain Mamadou Sakho and young Sam Byram are banned though. What a display from the team, we battered Chelsea and we were cruising to victory, after we were 3-0 up at half time. Our second half wasn't good enough though, we defended poorly and handed them an away goal but we do take a commanding lead in to the second leg.

View attachment 359811
What a great fixture to have between our Champions League Semi Final matches, in thirty four league fixtures, Blackpool have managed only four points and not a single win so of course I was going to rotate. We completely dominated them and you won't hear me say this very often but I was disappointed with only three goals, it could of been so many more. Sinclair was the star man, grabbing himself two goals.

View attachment 359810
Unfortunately Daniel Sturridge can't make a return for this game but apart from that we have a full strength side and the regular names come back in to the side. Wow, I certainly wasn't expecting the team to do that, we were so clinical in front of goal, particularly Raheem Sterling who continued his fantastic season with two more goals.

Chelsea on the other hand did have chances but we matched them and they were very wasteful in front of goal. Can't believe we're through 6-2 on aggregate, in the other Semi Final, Barcelona beat United on away goals and that'll be a really tough game in the final. Coutinho picked up an injury that will keep him out for three weeks, unfortunately he'll miss the FA Cup Final against Tottenham but he should be back for the last game of the season, the Champions League final against Barcelona.

View attachment 359809
We've already won the league so with three games left of the league season, we can afford to give our star men, two weeks off, ready and refreshed for those big final games of the season. Really good display from the lads, Norwich got a real beating and Sturridge with two assists and Sinclair with two goals were the key men on the day.

View attachment 359808
We conceded some goals against Chelsea, which were pretty much unstoppable to be fair but apart from that it's been a near perfect run for the team, we slaughtered Chelsea to reach the final of the Champions League and twelve goals in four games is a great return. Next time we'll play some youngsters in our last two league fixtures and then we have the two biggest games of our season, the FA Cup Final against Tottenham and then a colossus game against Barcelona, in the Champions League Final, I can't wait!

View attachment 359143Almost unchanged sides for our last two league games of the season, most of the players involved were rotators and youngsters, although Sturridge was getting plenty of game time, getting himself back to match fitness. Solid team performance against Sunderland, we got the win but nobody stood out. In Cardiff it proved to be a different story, a close game that we edged and won in the end, with a goal from Lloyd Jones and yet another from Sinclair.

We beat Uniteds record of twenty league titles by securing our twenty first! Can't tell you how much this made me smile, hopefully Liverpool we'll beat this record some day in real life.

One of the biggest games of our season up next and we could approach it with plenty of confidence, we've already beaten Tottenham recently in the league and we beat them a few months back, in the other domestic cup, the Capital One Cup. The lines up were announced and I certainly think their defence can be exploited but they have some dangerous players in attack.

View attachment 359145
We were cruising to victory in the first half, Santon scored a brilliant goal to opening the score, a rare goal for him and Daniel Sturridge made it two just before half time. Spurs started to create the odd chance but we defended well, Sturridge made it three but was wrongly flagged for offside but Luis Suarez added to his two assists with a goal, late on from substitute Jordon Ibe's cross.

View attachment 359139
Fantastic performance from the lads and that sees us lift the trophy for the second time in as many years, I knew if we played our game we would win and we've done that, the FA Cup is coming back to Liverpool! Not only did we hammer Spurs, just look at those stats, we also cost them their manager, he was immediately sacked after the match and Marco Van Basten replaces him.

Now we have the biggest game of the season, the biggest game of my time at Liverpool and the bigggest game the club has played in over a century. Only Barcelona stood in our way of a sixth Champions League trophy, only? It would be really tough to beat them, I mean just look at the stars in their team! Coutinho was fit enough to play for this one but his match fitness wasn't great, he'll be on the bench. Nobody had a bad game against Spurs, so the same eleven come out for this one.

View attachment 359135
To my surprise we dominated the first half and some how went in one each, Sterling made a good run out wide, crossing for Luis Suarez to fire home, Barca then caught us on the counter, with the pace of Neymar and they levelled the game. Sinclair came on in the second half and he was our super sub, he made the difference! Laying in Sterling to give us the lead back before his pace and power was to much late in the game, as he took on three players and finished brilliantly.

Absolutely fantastic! We've done it, we've won the Champions League and it feels great, the one trophy I really wanted this year and now we've got it! That's our fourth trophy this season, as we celebrate a quadruple, just look at those stats, I was expecting a close game but it didn't happen, credit has to go to our players.

Raheem Sterling managed to pick up the Players Player of the Year, after a fantastic season in the red of Liverpool but he missed out on the Footballer of the Year to Juan Mata. Mignolet was solid in our goal and he won the Golden Glove award yet again, while Coutinho had another fantastic season picking up the Players Young Player of the Year.

As for the Team of the Year awards, we had more players than any other side in the Champions League and Barclays Premier League Team of the Year, seven domestically and six in Europe. Player stats for the Premier League now and Sinclair managed to get himself in to the top five of the top goalscorers in the league, Sterling did well coming in fifth place on the assists chart and he also won the most player of the match awards tied with Juan Mata. Elsewhere Mignolet had the most clean sheets by five and we had three out of the top five, in the average ratings chart.

As for my awards for the season, well there was plenty of great performers this year in another really successful season. We'll start off with our Young Player of the Season, Coutinho, Byram, Doria and even Jordon Ibe all deserve a mention after really good seasons from them but it has to be a two horse race between Sinclair and Sterling. I've gone for Sterling just, although he played more I feel like he did it more in the big games, although to be fair a lot of the big games Sinclair sat out, he's still a young lad at just 19. Anyway Sterling was fantastic, this season and he contributed with some really big assists and goals.

View attachment 358142
On to my Player of the Season now and three of my defenders all get a mention here, Santon and Shawcross have been here before but Bertrand had a really good season by his standards, he wasn't shy to get forward and contributed with eight assists, great return for a full back. Again it's between two names for this award, Suarez and Sterling and as Sterling won the last award, you've probably already guessed that I've gone for Suarez. What a player, one of the best in the world. He's had another fantastic season and it's sad to see him leave... in real life.

As you can see I've made the odd change to my usual format of posting, I'll be making a few more over the next few updates. Also I'm not doing the player by player, season reviews any more. It's really time consuming, it slows the story down and if I'm honest, I was hoping for a bit of positive feedback on it but I guess it wasn't one of my better ideas. Anyway here's how our whole squad performed over the last season, in order of appearances. I can throw up some screenshots and drop a few lines about any players you're interested in, just let me know.

View attachment 357724First off we're now free of all of debts and can approach the future with great optimism. The future was immediately looking bright as the board handed us 100M and 400k wages to spend in the transfer market, I was hoping for plenty of money because this year, I'm going to spend big.

More news on the progress and future of this great club now, as you can see winning the Champions League has seen us storm up the European charts of the richest and the most reputable teams in the world, we're now second in both charts! Elsewhere I managed to sign a new one year contract extension with the board at Liverpool, I'm sure the players will appreciate that.

Now let's move on to transfers and compared to last year we've been really busy, the former Liverpool man and fan favourite who makes his return, is Javier Mascherano. After a fallout with Claudio Yacob and his average season, Javier will come in to replace him and hopefully he'll be great for the second time, a proper defensive midfielder for a bargain price of 3M and I can't wait to see him play. There was quite a few regens coming in, who I think all have a great future, unfortunately we couldn't afford Dos Santos this year, so he comes in on loan.

Ryan Shawcross was shown the door despite being a fantastic servant for us, Lloyd Jones great progress will see him move forward to be our third choice centre back, while we also have a fourth choice centre back in young regen Callum West. There was huge money spent on Gino Peruzzi to replace the ageing Glen Johnson who we couldn't seem to find a club but the window is still open. Anyway Gino is one of the best right backs in the game and that should be a great signing.

View attachment 357721
Simon Mignolet like Shawcross is another player who has been great for us but I always had one problem with him, his composure wasn't top class and despite another great season, he did make the odd mistake last year. His replacement is Bernd Leno, i wanted a top quality keeper with a bit more composure on the ball and he certianly fits that bill, his deal saw Yacob got the other way to Monaco.

View attachment 357720
Elsewhere, I wanted to give young regen Andrew Simpson plenty of game time in the reserve team, so Ryan Fulton goes out on loan. With Harry Wilson ahead of him in the team, who himself hardly gets a game, Sergi Canos was let go, he had a long term injury of four months last season and his progress hit a wall as a result, other players on the way out were deadwood, I was happy to get rid of.

View attachment 357726
Next time we kick off the season, with a tough start in the Community Sheild against who else but our bitter rivals, Man United and the tough games don't stop there. We've got a difficult start to our league campaign with away games against Villa and Spurs, as well as Man City come to Anfield and we'll finish with another chance to win more silverware, against Arsenal in the European Super Cup.

I didn't comment on it beause i didn't want to disrupt the flow of the story, but i loved the player by player review! I do understand how time consuming it is, but would love to see Jerome Sinclair's stats, what a season for him! Great signings too, Peruzzi is probably the best right back on the game. Mascherano is a realistic signing too and i never realised how good his mentals are, keep it up!

Thanks man, really appreciate that. Here's a screenshot of Jerome Sinclair, his progress hasn't been amazing but it's been solid and he's still only young. Fantastic season from him and he even broke in to the England team recently as well and he doesn't seem fazed in the slightest by the pressure, scoring six in eight games, massive future ahead for him! I've got big hopes for both Peruzzi and Mascherano, hopefully they'll do the business. Be sure to drop me a like if you don't want to disrupt the flow of the story, it lets me know people are enjoying the story and motivates me to keep posting.

Joe Allen with a surprising header put us infront, Suarez also played well, taking advantage of Phil Jones error just before the break, before Allen put the game to bed with a sloppy goal. Despite the score line, it was a close game but we just finishing our chances, Bernd Leno had a solid debut.

The Draw for the Capital One Cup third round was drawn and we got a decent draw, playing an away game against newly promoted Premier League opposition, Leicester City. Elsewhere in the bigger draw and one of the biggest and most exciting of the season, we'll play Atletico, FC Porto and Viktoria Pizen in the Champions League Group Stage. After winning the competition last year and rightly being moved to first seeds, we certainly could of got an easier draw but I'm still very confident, that we can top that group.

Another solid performance from the team as we take our second trophy of the season, in just five games. We fully deserved it and perhaps could have scored one or two more goals. We were cruising in the first half but a a goal from old boy Ryan Shawcross, let Arsenal back in to the match but we managed to hold out for the victory. Suarez was the star man, scoring a goal and assisting for our other.

Great month for the team, we've started our season really well, winning two trophies, the Community Shield and the European Super Cup in just a matter of weeks. There was also a good win at home to City and a tight game against Spurs, we were struggled playing away from home. Next month we kick off our Champions League campaign with games against Porto and Atletico and there's a tough game in the league, when Chelsea come to Anfield.

Let me know what you think about the new format of my updates, would love some feedback.
 
Looking good, however 47 million for Peruzzi is a bit of a over spend me thinks.

Thanks man. Ye I'd agree with that, he was at City though and of course they're going to demand a high asking price. Position for position I'm really happy with my squad and to really upgrade on the replacement of a player, I'm having to bring in superstars, for big money. I've probably over spent on a few others in the last two windows as well, Doria and Herrera come to mind, even Beno, when you consider that Yacob went the other way, who would of fetched 10M, that deal came to nearly 40M. Still if you've got the money, why not spend it.

My bad, I forgot to mention at the end of the last update, that George Throne moved on to Arsenal, for 9.5M. He didn't cut it for us, generally playing poorly over his two seasons with the club. I wished him luck in the future but he threw it back in my face, I'm curious to see how he develops, after that conversation. Anyway I'd been trying to get rid of him all summer and his replacement was sorted weeks ago, in young regen Dos Santos.

Fantastic months for the lads, we've won all six games and we never looked like drawing a game, let alone losing, that win against our rivals Chelsea was massive and very satisfying victory. In the Champions League our two main threats have been brushed aside with ease and I'll be looking to rotate, giving one or two youngsters a game or two in the remaining group stage matches. Next time we'll look to continue our good start to the season and unbeaten run, the only big game is against derby rivals Everton and Anfield though.​
