October
We have endured a brilliant month in October and we have Dortmund in our sights.
HSV Home
PEP’S NOTES: What a dramatic finale. We took the lead early on and I thought we had the 3 points but oh no they found a goal from nowhere on the 78th minute. I knew we had to go for goal and in the 93rd minute wonder kid Ademilson found the winner to send the Alianz into raptures.
Werder Bremen Away
PEP’S NOTES: What a game. We dominated the game throughout the 90 minutes and we were 4-0 up by half time. After the 2nd half Bremen decided to go for it and I thought they might get back into it but we continued to attack and we eventually hit Bremen for 6.
Hoffenheim Away
PEP’S NOTES: Another nice win to push us back up the table. We are playing great football at the moment and it is showing in our results. We dominated from kick-off and I am very pleased with the 3 points we have taken.
League Table
We sit just behind Dortmund but we are ready to overtake them and win the league title.
Red Bull Salzburg Home
I am very happy with the result as it means that we stay top of the group for another week. We look set to qualify so I am now looking forward to the knockout stages. We dominated the game as expected and the stats show that. I am disappointed with how many shots we had on target so we will be doing more shooting practise in training.
Benfica Home
PEP’S NOTES: This win effectively sends us into the knockout rounds of the Champions League so the hard work will now begin. Another great win in Europe for the team and I am hoping that we can at least reach the final at Wembley.
Group Table
We sit at the top of the table and if we get a result in our next game we will qualify for the last 16 stage.
HSV Away
PEP’S NOTES: I am disappointed that we had to bow out of the cup so early but we have more important competitions to focus on. We dominated the 1st half but we could not find a winner so eventually Hamburg started to counter and they found the winner in extra time.
Player of The Month
Mario Gomez has had a great month with a hat trick against Bremen and he has been in great form for the team.
