Very good match against Napoli, keep it up in League!!

A fantastic performance from my team to beat a good side in Napoli, I tried a new tactic of 4-3-3 and it seemed to work and was a dominate with, this tactic hopefully will change my sucess and also give my team more freedom around the pitch from my old tactic of 4-2-4(attacking)

Wolves 1-2 Man City

Pre-Season Evaluation

July 2013 Pre-Season went well this year as I only suffered One loss to Italian side Fiorentina with a 1-0 loss but other than that it was very successul with good wins against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Napoli with respective results of 2-1 and 4-0.

In new light I decided to change my tactic to 4-3-3 as I felt I wasn't getting the best out of my players with my current formation of 4-2-4, I changed this because I want to give my midfield and strikers the chance to roam around the field to give others a chance of getting into the box to give me more advances forward and to give defences a worry as there would be a lot of running about during games.

I want to build upon this Pre-Season with firstly pointing out who will be in my Final 11 and who can give me that better edge within substitutions. Hoping that this has motivated the players going into the 2013/14 season and to retain my 3rd Premier League Crown in consecutive seasons, I will also looks to win the League Cup for the first time since I've been incharge, and also retaining the FA Cup from money-bags Chelsea and also trying to aim for my most prestigious cup of all The Champions League. This is the one Trophy that I want to win with Manchester City.

Key Players for the season ahead I feel will be Zlatan Ibrahimovic,Eden Hazard and Vincent Kompany(C)

Looking for future left back as Gael Clichy and Aleksander Kolarov are getting near their 30's, as Coentrao is still young at 24 I want a future left back to give him competition So I have tabled a £5million bid for Lucas Digne

Keep it up, good work but match against Arsenal... but you'll win CL an PL.

Manchester City have announced the signing of 20year old left back Lucas Digne from Lille, this is a good signing as he is still young and is able to improve if can be a top left back in the world in the next 5/6years if used correctly, he will take up the space of Aleksandr Kolarov and Gael Clichy who I consider as deadwood as they are close to their 30's and I'm looking to build to the future

aguero is your top goal scorer?

@Sporting_23

Aguero is my top goalscorer with 2 goals in 2 premier league appearances this season, And I'm hoping he becomes my top goalscorer come end of season too.
