Before I start, this will be a half season update. Please read and then in the comments tell me if you like this style or you want me to make updates every month!
Look at the state of that fixture list. Losing 4 of our 1st 6 league games. When I looked at my opening fixtures I did not expect that to happen that's for sure. But there was some good highlights like the 3-0 win vs Bordeaux.
This was a great game and a much needed win. Our two centre backs scored in this game from corners whilst on loan striker Macheda fired home to score the 2nd goal out of the 3.
Two other important games were the 1-0 win away vs Lyon in the Cup and the 1-0 home victory to Marseille in the league.
A solid performance vs Lyon with Zouma scoring the only goal from a corner.
However, the Marseille game was very scrappy and we was lucky to ****** the win.
So not a very good start to the league campaign. However, we are fighting on to get another spot in Europe what ever competition it may be. One game in hand on 7th spot and 2 games in hand on 8th.
Europa League
So we was placed in Euro League Group F alongside Dnipro, Frankfurt and Spartak Moscow.
We placed 1st in the group only one goal difference. We had to win our last game and hoped that Frankurt could keep Spartak to a draw or loss. We came through beating Dnipro 3-0 away whilst Frankfurt drew 1-1 with Spartak.
Once again Macheda stepped up to the mark and scored two goals against Dnipro. A solid performance overall dominating Ukrainian side Dnipro.
Coupe de la Ligue & French Cup
We was given a tough 1st game in the CDLL against Lyon. Thankfully, we won the game 1-0 away which is shown further up the post.
Quarter finals - We played OM here and like the Lyon game it was a 1-0 victory and is also showed higher up in the post.
Semi Finals - The semi finals saw us playing away at Stade Rennais.
We entered into the French Cup in the 9th round and have to play AC Ajaccio. Going to be a tough game but I believe if we perform on the day we can progress through.
Guilavogui, Macheda and Zouma have been the key players so far this season.
Macheda scoring the most goals, Zouma being a rock at the back and Guilavogui being an excellent holding midfielder.
