Nice month there mate - looks like Chelsea were a bit lucky to grab a point. How good are West Ham going!!!

All in all, I think the draw was a fair result. Chelsea's goal came about from bad defending so I don't think it was luck. They did well to capitalize on the mistake.

West Ham are bossing it! Any reason they're doing so well? Top signings etc?
Click to expand...

Aye, They just have a good vein of form. No idea what they're doing different... probably the same thing Leicester are doing IRL :P

Thanks for all the info on Derby

Obviously hoping for promotion asap as right now the finances are extremely tight - exciting times ahead for the rams if I can get hold of that TV money.

Thanks again.

Aye, The TV money will help out immeasurably :)

November was a great month for you! Next month will be a tough one, not only do you have a massive amount of fixtures but the Real Madrid and Manchester United matches being so close to each other is quite unfortunate. Still, I have faith that you'll manage to get some good results!
Click to expand...

Aye, so many fixtures so I've to do a lot of squad rotation. Origi and Sturridge will have to keep each other out of the side :P

What a great month with fantastic results.
Good to see Mascherano joined Liverpool again,but i loved his work at Barca :(
I'm sure he can help you a lot,he's awesome !
Click to expand...

Aye, He's done very well at Barca and is somewhat of an unsung hero (to non Barca fans) because most of his work is never headline stuff, but still vital to the team.

Topping the group was just a bridge too far but to qualify from this group so comfortably
is, to me, evidence of where we are right now; a top European club expected to challenge
in the last 16. This is only our 3rd defeat this season which shows how good we've been.

Torino beat Schalke to secure a historic 3rd place and to dump the German club out of
European competitions this season. What can only go down as a shocking season for
Schalke as they failed to win a single game in this season's Champions League group stage.

I'm happy enough with our draw. We beat PSG in a friendly at the beginning of last season
so I know we have the quality to get a result against them.

A great win at the home of our biggest rivals. Rooney scored early int he second half which
made the game far from comfortable but 2 goals inside 15 minutes was what won it for us.

When it goes right, we tear teams apart. Sturidge scoring a marvelous hat-trick as he brings his tally to
19 goals in 24 games, in all competitions this season.

I hate throwing away clean sheets so late in a game. Still, 3 points is more important.

It was an action packed first half but I was ultimately disappointed with the performance.

We went behind early on but i was impressed with the second half efforts. Leicester posed
a constant threat out wide but once I adjusted to give them little time on the ball in the wide
areas, we took control of the game and the game ended with a comfortable 3-1 win.

Derby went into this game having drawn their last 3 games so I knew they shouldn't be
taken lightly. Despite our good performances this match, we went behind twice and playing
catch up for most of the game meant we never got into a rhythm.

View attachment 208349View attachment 208348
Having taken 17/21 points this month, we overtook West Ham who held a 6 point lead over us.
West Ham's form has taken a dip as they've not won in their last 4 games. This has opened the
Title Race up while Liverpool and Chelsea are favorites to take the lead of the chasing pack.


January fixtures.

Just read the story and what a story. Great presentation all the way through.
It's looking good for the league this year too.
Mendy looks like he will tear teams a part when he's unleashed.
 
What a month there and good to see you go top, what a dip in form from the Hammers!

Still a lot of football to play my friend. Being top at the halfway point only means I'm in the race; nothing more.

Haha, cheers mate :) I can't wait to see what becomes of Mendy. The boy looks an amazing talent. I've been careful about how I develop him. Might send him on loan next year since his development has been going well here. First team football can only help him.

Bit of a strange one here. We absolutely dominated the game but only got the one goal. I'd have been more
comfortable with a 3-0 or 4-0 scoreline and I'm hoping complacency doesn't creep in.

Spurs wanted it more, It was just that simple. They brought an intensity to the game in the second half
that we failed to deal with. When we went 3-1 down, I could feel the lads loose hope. We managed to
grab one back but Spurs were the better side. Still, only our second loss of the league and after 24
games, I think that's a ****** good record. ironically, both our losses have been to spurs.

The legend of Mendy continues and he's just written a new chapter: The day he became a first team regular.
Our home leg of the Champions League 1st round knock out, I played a 4-2-3-1 (Wide) to utilize Sturridge
up front as a poacher with Origi, Correa and Coutinho playing supporting roles in advanced midfield positions.

Early into the First half, Sturridge had to come off with a damaged heel, so I brought on Firminho, moved
Origi into a striker role and let the Brazilian cut inside from the far right. No sooner had Firminho settled into
the game, he was forced off injured after he came out the worse in a tackle. I had a choice: Keep Origi up
front and bring on Lallana or move Origi wide again and ask Mendy to do the unthinkable... Lead the line
against PSG in the Champions League.

He's ready. If he can do that against Europe's Elite, dose he really need time to 'develop'... The boy's
earned his shot in the first team.

We reminded Europe who we are tonight. We beat Real Madrid at home earlier int he season and
now we've taken the scalp of PSG... Fear coming to Liverpool. The Kop will eat you alive!

I'm worried or dip in form might have ended the title run. Chelsea have two game in hand and
stand at the top of the pile so they could move out of reach with so few games left to play.
Our run of fixture closing out the season are not kind either and I'm not confident of a strong
enough finish... The kind of perfect run that'd be required.

A little dip in form in the middle there but great wins against PSG + West Ham!
 
Oh Mendy well,
You came and you scored two past Paris,
And we love you today.
Oh, Mendy well,
You scored and you started Kop shaking,
And I need you today.
Oh, Mendy!

Where's my coat....
