Doing good so far - that Chelsea Man U game was so close! 5-5 must of been very exciting! - I suggest adding pictures and after/Before the game comments, As it feels a bit plain just reading scores and injuries.

English Premier Division - 19 Nov 2011

Man Utd vs Tottenham (Away)

Formation: 4-4-2

Starting Line-up:
De Gea(GK)
Rafael(WB) Jones(CD) Vidic(CD) Evra(WB)
Nani(W) Hazard(AP) Fletcher(CM) Gotze(WM)
Rooney(AF) Cavani(CF)

HT: 2-2 Dawson (3), Adebayor (9), Rooney (20), Nani (23)

Subs Used: Hernandez, Giggs, Young

FT: 4-2 Nani (64, 83)

MOTM: Nani (9.6)(3 goals)
Good Performers: Rooney (8.3)

Incredibly shakey start, but The team soon began to dig in and control the game. Rooney and Nani tore the opposition apart, to draw us level by the half time whistle. Half time team talk consisted of some motivation and a bit of a dressing down for Vidic and Hazard. Came out second half and controlled the game from the off. Tottenham barely had a shot on goal, and Nani and Rooney linked up well to finish of what they had started.
Good comeback against Spurs mate.



Sitting 6 points clear, it all seems pretty comfortable at the moment. I have no serious injuries, and all parts of the squad seem sufficiently strong. The Jan transfer window is fast approaching, but as things stand i do not need any new faces...though signing the fantastic young prospect, Marc Ander ter Stegen (GK), is highly tempting, i am not sure whether it warants his £20 mil asking price, especially if he will be a back up to De Gea.


Rooney is scoring well, with there being great support and service from Cavani.
UEFA Champions Leage - 23 Nov 2011

Man Utd vs Leverkusen(Away)

Formation: 4-4-2

Starting Line-up:
De Gea(GK)
Vrsaljko(WB) Jones(CD) Vidic(CD) Evra(WB)
Valencia(W) Hazard(AP) Asamoah(CM) Gotze(WM)
Rooney(AF) Cavani(CF)

HT: 0-0

Subs Used: Nani, Wellbeck, Felipe Anderson

FT: 1-1 Own Goal Vidic (70), Nani (78)

MOTM: De Gea (8.1)
Good Performers: Nani(7.4)

A game of poor management by myself. Why i didnt start with Nani, i have no clue. Asamoah picked up a knock half way through, but annoyingly enough, i didnt take Fletcher on the bench, so had to survive with Felipe Anderson holding the midfield together, which is risky (especially with his age and inexperience), but he did pretty well. However this was the first game i havent won, and im fairly disappointed, as i didnt want to lose my winning streak to a team such as Leverkusen....a team i know we should have beaten!

However we have qualified now, so i will probably field my younger players to give them experience, especially in the home games.

Thanks mate. Was a toughie, but im glad we triumphed!! Lol
English Premier Division - 26 Nov 2011

Man Utd vs Norwich (Home)

Formation: 4-4-2

Starting Line-up:
Lindegaard(GK)
Rafael(WB) Jones(CD) Ferdinand(CD) Evra(WB)
Nani(W) Giggs(AP) Fletcher(CM) Young(WM)
Wellbeck(AF) Cavani(CF)

HT: 1-0 Nani (24)

Subs Used: Hernandez, Felipe Anderson

FT: 2-0 Giggs (pen 80)

MOTM: Nani (8.3)(1 goal, 1 assist)
Good Performers: Giggs (7.7), Rafael (7.4)

Nani has hit some really good form, being voted man of the match in 2 of his last 2 starts. Giggs was impressive as usual...doesnt even seem as if he has aged at all. It was good being able to rest many of my main players. However the finishing against Norwich was atrocious. We had 12 clear cut chances and only scored 2. was really very poor in those terms!
English League Cup - 29 Nov 2011

Man Utd vs Sunderland(Away)

Formation: 4-4-2

Starting Line-up:
De Gea(GK)
Vrsaljko(WB) Ferdinand(CD) Vidic(CD) Evra(WB)
Nani(W) Hazard(AP) Asamoah(CM) Gotze(WM)
Rooney(AF) Cavani(CF)

HT: 1-0 Nani (2)

Subs Used: Wellbeck

FT: 3-0 Cavani (58), Wellbeck (90+1)

MOTM: Cavani (8.3)
Good Performers: Nani(8.2), Vidic (8.1), Vrsaljko (8)

We were all over Sunderland. In the first half they managed only 1 shot, and in the second only 2 more. A comfortable win, again helped by a great performance by Nani and Cavani. Im glad Wellbeck scored too...hopefully he will settle down more now and begin to find some good form.
Unsurprisingly Nani won the player of the month award, and i followed up by winning manager of the month award for the third month in a row!

English League Cup Draw

It is the semi-final draw, and i was drawn against Burnley. In the other game, Tottenham got Newcastle.
English Premier Division - 3 Dec 2011

Man Utd vs Stoke (Away)

Formation: 4-4-2

Starting Line-up:
De Gea(GK)
Rafael(WB) Ferdinand(CD) Vidic(CD) Vrsaljko(WB)
Nani(W) Giggs(AP) Asamoah(CM) Gotze(WM)
Rooney(AF) Cavani(CF)

HT: 2-0 Rooney (2), Gotze (24)

Subs Used: Hernandez, Anderson

FT: 3-0 Rooney (85)

MOTM: Rooney (8.8)
Good Performers: Giggs (8.1), Gotze (7.9), Rafael (7.5), Vidic (7.5)

Giggs has been delightful in his last few matches. Even though i have quality like Hazard, when Giggs performs as he does, i have no choice but to field him. The early advantage let us dictate the pace of the game, and it was a comfortable victory in the end. With that victory i now go 10 points clear at the top of the table
Nicely done :)

How do you field your 442?
Smash and run - the run of premier league victories has now been extended to 14 games on the trot!
