A disappointing loss, considering we played well and that we controlled long periods of the game too. It didnt help that we went one nil down in the first minute, through a wonderstrike, which meant we were continuously chasing the game! Nonetheless a decent attacking performance from the front men, despite the poor defensive performance!

Wow a tough away game. I thought we were done for sure after we went 2-0 within the first 6 minutes! Have i mentioned that i hate playing Blackburn away lol. But we played better (not great), dug in and settled into a rhythm, which enabled Rooney to score a great hat-trick

A great home victory. Rooney was impressive as usual, and Tevez did decently as well, producing one assist. But i still cant seen to get Tevez to perform to the level i know he can. Fernandinho has truly been a great signing this year, and he really does know how to carry a team forward!

A good win for us at home. I was able to rest a few key players, and field some young-uns to give them experience. They impressed as usual, with Wilcox and Santamaria showing solidarity at the back, and with Manuel scoring upfront. Tevez was quiet again!!

Tevez isnt performing up to scratch. By no means are his performances abysmal but they arent great either. Can anyone suggest any alternatives to get the best out of him?

Play him as advanced forward, and partner him up with a poacher or another advanced forward, worked with me in past saves.

You have so many good youngsters you make me jealous, I only have 3 really good ones and the rest are half baked.

IMO you should be playing petric all day

#42938 Ory1997 : You have so many good youngsters you make me jealous, I only have 3 really good ones and the rest are half baked.

I know right but i had to buy many of them. But it bodes really well for the future

Ive tried Tevez with everyone. He doesnt score or do that well. Im gonna keep trying though...never lose hope!

#42951 Nickbonista : IMO you should be playing petric all day

I assume your talking about Croatia. Well Vukusic and Mandzukic seem to have struck up a good partnership!!

Also is there any way to hire more coaches for your national team?

Yeah just hire them like regular coaches.

A great win at the Emirates. Once again Fernandinho showed his skill putting in a brilliant performance to help secure the win. It was a pity though that Gotze and Hazard were so quiet!!
