Pretty good win on Anfield. I gave a chance with a few players not usually starting matches a chance. Newcastle didnt stand a chance against our outstanding attack today. Now the team are playing the way I want, Attacking fotball and fast runners down the wings. Downing keeps getting motm and its great to see.

Double the action. Triple the thrill. What a game, both teams attacked willingly. The difference was effectivity. We were dominating the shots on goal stats and we were just overrunning the Q.P.R on counterattacks. Cavani with two goals and one assist got the motm.

#43985 Shameless : Great to see you on-board Slogh!!

Ive glanced trough your report and looks awesome! Glad to have a another Liverpool report to follow. I will be sure to steal all your great transfers and tactics ;)

I'm heading to bed but will be sure to read it trough tomorrow bro

I have stolen some ideas on how to setup a story from you, but all the logos and images I'll leave to you so I aint to much of a copycat. You made me make this story, so its nice to have some followers. The thing is that I have so many matches to update since i started the story way after i started my second season. So I think I'll get a few games done and keep updating tomorrow. The next match is againts Barcelona. The match I certainly didnt look forward to when the groups were drawn. Statitics and table will come at a later stage since I dont have that many screenshots for that time.

Oh the pain. From a 6-1 victory agains Q.P.R to a huge defeat at Camp Nou. I must admit I chose a coward entrance to the game, doinge the 4-1-2-2-1 tacc, with Leiva as DM and Henderson / Adam at mid. We were overrunned from the start. It couldve been five to six before the break. Messi tore through the defense and I had no chance. When I changed to 4-2-2-2 it was to late. But I did do better with that tacc. Got a consolation goal but this was painful to be outplayed like this.

Aquilani

Again this team is amazing, they come back from a punch in the face last match with a defensive job like no other and lots of luck! LOTS OF LUCK. City had three shots in the post. Dominated stats vise but this time. I came prepared. I used routine and age this time and now the defensive tactic with age. Aquilani and Gerrard were good and Leiva was amasing blocking shots. This was a match we shouldve lost. But we won on counterattacking. And major defense. This shouldnt be possible and Im so happy right now with how the veterans overcame the attacking force of a offensive City team.

Next match: Blackburn (A) | Premier League
Hey story seems to be going well. Why dont you try a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-5-1. I found they work pretty well for liverpool. You also need some wingers dude!!

Otherwise this is a great story. How come you cant upload photos?

I could probably try 4-2-3-1 tacc. I used it abit in my first season. But with 4-2-2-2 tactic I have been dominating matches that I really should control. So Im just a tad "afraid" to start changing it when it works so good. And I love the fact of using two strikers.

And about the wingers fact, well. I dont have to much transfer money with Liverpool. And I felt that getting Di Maria as an extra winger together with Rodriguez and Downing was enough. Since Gerrard and Henderson can play right winger to.

About the photos: I have played abit into the season before I started the story. I was not sure if I should start a story at all but I figured I could try. Therefor there aint that much of screenshots until I can update it to where I am. Normal pictures I just havent gotten to be a real pro at this. Since its my first story.

Third game away from home, and we got a good win. Coates scored on a corner, then Cavani and Damiao scored from outside the sixteen meter. Making it a good win where we were better than them on the entire field. It felt good. We need these kinda wins now. To keep the dream om a PL title.

Suarez 8.6

Full domination except the one in behind Reina. Suarez scored a magnificent goal by himself, passing three defenders and placing it down by the post. Cavani was yet again safe from the penalty spot. That man is such a coldminded player. Paris Saint-Germain was dangerous on counter-attacks but a solid defence did the trick and we couldve had even more goals. Damiao did a good job getting his goal. Fooling the offsidetrap and we got a good victory. And we got two for two in Champions League.

This is a match where I let Steve Clark take control of. I was sure of a win and they didnt let me down. Clarke amassed a mixture of first team reserves and youngsters and they did amazing. Hartlebury got his first senior game and he scored in his debut. Wisdom and Flanagan did a good job to. Nice to see some usable faces for the future.

Yet again a fantastic attacking game, Cavani puttint two more, another defender on the scoring list and Leiva putting a stunner in this game where he got his well deserved motm. We were thrashing Stoke this match but they came on a few dangerous counter-attacks which ended hitting the aluminium posts.

A fantastic first half by the team, completely dominating everypart of the game. A lucker of an owngoal made them get a goal they didnt deserve. We were better all over the pitch and had a good lead till the break. After the break something happened. I do not know what, but PSG put on Gameiro and he was the turning point. PSG really just overthrew us in the second half and I was sure we were going to lose it when they equalized to 3-3. But Adam put a screamer from 35 yards and we were yet again in front. Against the play. When I thought we could steal the win then Gameiro showed up again and sealed his hat-trick. And it ended 4-4. A match at halftime I was sure to win. But after it was over became happy with the draw.

If you'd to use logos I will sue you! haha ;) Just go ahead if you want to mate. I don't mid at all :)
4-2-2-2 sound interesting but leaves a gap between defence and centre yes?

Fast players like Rooney and Messi to name couple, are deadly with their counter attacks. How has it worked for you? I had no defensive midfielder in my first season and it was my downfall many times.
