An amazing victory against the ex-champions league winners, i think that playing 3-4-1-2 against them worked really well. They created some chances but no real clear chances. Playing counter attack did the trick here
Great victory wasnt expecting to win so easily, fiorentina have a great team a=but simply under performed today so it was an easy win for me.
Can't quite believe this result, i decided to play attacking form the start but this obviously didn't work as i found myself 3-1 down. I changed to counter and scored to late goals to snatch an important point
Overall I'm very happy with results in champions league and the league. By the way I also have marsellie in my champions league group and I'm still amazed that i beat barcelona 2-0 !

A tense boring game. But glad i got the important victory here, I was helped hugely by the wrongly given red card to Ayew and this was the reason i won today
Absolutely gutted after this game, should have been an easy victory but i rested too many big players and it just shows that my substitutes aren't up to a good enough standard. This also ends my unbeaten run stretching from the start of the season.
The scoreline does not show all that there was to this game. We played terrible but the sublime finishing of cavani and the aerial threat of cannavaro we got the big 3 points today
Another poor performance to round off the month, it should have been a easy 2-0 victory to me but we played very badly. It was quite even until the 67 minute when a poor shot from abel hernandez somehow beat my keeper. It was a terrible mistake form my normally reliable keeper, de sanctis.
Overall a bad month for me. Should have beaten catania and atleast of drawn with palermo, but top of champions league group after winning all 3 games so far I'm now in 4th but i'm only 1 point off 3rd and 2nd and only 2 points off juventus who are in first.
By the way I have signed branescu the young juventus keeper for £1.6 million and also signed Niang from Stade Cean for £3.6 million. They both join in January

Another terrible performance from us and we got what we deserved, nothing. Marsaille pleyed well and jordan ayew scored two great goals, my defense just couldn't deal with the pace of marsaille's strikers.
A great 5-0 win against cagliari. Two goals each for nene and campagnaro, campagnaro my CB scored two headers and arguably my best player of the season nene scored one free kick from distance and a tidy finish. Back to winning ways and putting in good performances
An easy win with lavezzi scoring both goals, again another good performance after 3 games of bad performances and mixed results
Wasn't expecting to win at the nou camp, just pleased that i kept it down to only two goals. Unfortunately got my first injury of the season and it was to christian Maggio my best right midfielder
Best win of the season in my view, juventus are going to be up there at the top and they were favorites for the match. Campagnaro got us off to a flyer after 8 minutes and we built on that. Marek Hamsik put in his best performance of the season as he scored 2 amazing goals. Hamsik's first goal was from a individual run form 30 yards out and he finished with a beautifully placed shot. Back to the top of the league agin were i belong. Bad news was that lavezzi is out for 3 weeks and will miss my important champs league game which cavani is banned from
A great month in the league but a poor month in the champions league but i still have a chance of qualifying for the knockout stage
December update :
Lazio 1-4 Napoli Klose - Vargas, Cavani, Hamsik, Nene
A great performance from my boys today with 4 great goals scored. Nice to see vargas scoring because he has to play in my champs league game vs panathoniakos because lavezzi is injured and cavani is banned. Got another injury today for alderwerield, he is out for 1 month.
Napoli 1-0 Panathoniakos - Dossena
Successfully qualified for the knock out round I left i late until the 87th minute but got the win i needed, found out that i drew chelsea in the next round. I play them at home first which is a disadvantage but i'm confident of beating them over 2 legs
Napoli 4-0 Ac. Milan - Cavani 2, nene, vargas
Amazing result really turned of the style vs milan today. My tactic of beginning attacking then after getting the early first goal going back to a standard style of playing. Top of the league by 6 points
Novara 1-3 Napoli Silva - Fernandez 2, maggio
Napoli 1-0 Cesena Maggio
Maggio scoring for the second game on the trot It was a routine victory with cesena defending from the start. It was the first game back for my CM dzemaili form injury and 17 minutes in he got injured again, typical
December proved to be a fantastic month with me winning every game in the month, also qualified for the 1st knock out round of the champions league and drew chelsea.
January update :
Udinese 1-2 Napoli Armero - Hamsik, nene
A good win against a injury battered udinese squad. Nene won us the match with a amazingly powerful free-kick from over 30 yards out. Best player of the season so far with no doubt.
Italian cup 1st round - Siena 2-4 Napoli Gorgi, rosina - Hamsik, maggio 3.
Good routine win in the cup, with a amazing hat-trick from cristian maggio
Napoli 0-2 Chievo Martial (og), moscardelli.
A terrible performance from my team today, we are normally alot better against teams like this especially at home in the league. We just never got going in the game and never looked like scoring all game, we didn't even have one shot on goal.
Parma 1-4 Napoli Floccari - Cavani 2, Lavezzi, Gargano.
A complete opposite performance to the one against chievo. Nice to see cavani and lavezzi back to their goal scoring form and we had 24 shots and 12 of them were on target in this game
Italian cup quarter final - Roma 1-3 Napoli Kjear - Maggio, Diogo, Nene
Great victory after going down to 10 men after only 8 minutes, it was cannavaro who went in 2 footed and justifiably got sent off. Magnificent performances from my midfielders and attackers won me the game and put me through to the semi-finals of the cup.
Bologna 0-2 Napoli Niang, Hamsik.
Another good performance away from home and it was nice to see Niang socring his first goal for the club. He is sure to be a hot prospect for the future
Overall another decent month. There were good performances in the cup and on the whole great results in the league apart form the one slip up against Chievo
I also signed willian from shaktar for £12 million as a better CM than dzemaili. This was after changing my season objectives to winning the league because if the surprising league position i have found myself in, so i got an extra £10 million to spend
