MPH Posted 24 July 2013 Posted 24 July 2013 One thing I find about this version is how easy it is to concede goals.... Just played Swansea... I had 26 shots with 9 on target - scored twice. They had 2 shots both on target and scored from both. I have Tim Kruhl in goal with Liverpool
Fox92 Posted 25 July 2013 Posted 25 July 2013 So true. It's happening to me right now. Just lost 0-2 to Chelsea, 0-2 at Everton and 0-6 at Tottenham. Worst is I've got Manchester City next. Just want this season to end. Just can't win, it's getting stupid now. Last two games (Liverpool and Fulham), I've gone 0-2 down, got it back to 2-2 then conceded a last minute goal. When the seasons over, about 5 games left, I might post a screenshot. I'll probably lose them all.
Dan Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Half way through this season. Won my 'Champions' League group with ease again and will face Napoli in the round of 16. 2nd in the Bundesliga but it's actually us and Dortmund this time around, both are miles ahead, I actually think this is the year Bayern don't win it - 6th as it stands and over 10 points behind both of us. Can see Dortmund winning it though. Still got to go there away, beat them at home with 10 men though, 89th minute winner too.

They had 2 shots both on target and scored from both. I have Tim Kruhl in goal with Liverpool So I bought Victor Valdez from Barcelona as my new GK Samba as my new CB and Marcos Rojo as my new LB ( with Liverpool) to try and stop conceding so many goals.... Still the same! I was winning 2-0at home to Southampton, they had a man sent off and they bought it back to 2-2!
LCFC FOX Posted 27 July 2013 Posted 27 July 2013 Currently sitting 10th with Rotherham in the 4th season (my first season in the Championship) before top of the league Reading approach me.

Brainy Posted 28 July 2013 Posted 28 July 2013 Banik Ostrava are the true definition of the term Bottlers Had the worst start to the season in my nearly 30 years at Sparta Prague, I trailed Banik by 16pts after 11 games. Was about 10pts off Mlada Boleslav too 3 wins in a row before the winter break compared to Banik's1 draw and 2 defeats cut the gap to 9pts, then down to 6pts when I beat them in the first game back after Christmas. I led them by 1pt with 6 games to go then lost one of my most bizarre matches, 4-1 at home to mid-table Slovacko. That was followed up with a 0-1 home defeat to Banik in the 1st leg of the Czech FA Cup. After two wins in a row in the league I go to Banik Ostrava for the 2nd leg and win 3-1. Another defeat at Mlada Boleslav meant I trailed by 5pts with 2 games to go. I had two home games against 14th and 16th (last) place, Banik had two tricky away games, the final game at 3rd place Slavia Prague I win my game, Banik get a draw. Going into the final game the table looked like this 1. Banik Ostrava P29 W20 D6 L3 F67 A28 GD +39 PTS 66 2. Sparta Prague P29 W20 D3 L6 F70 A38 GD +32 PTS 63 With more goals scored the goal difference between us both was effectively 6. 30mins into the final game both games are 0-0. Two quick goals saw me take a 2-0 lead at HT. 3-0.. 4-0.. then Slavia take the lead against Banik. Banik go on to lose 4-0. I go on to win 5-0. I win the title by +2 on GD Onto 2050/51..
Dan Posted 28 July 2013 Posted 28 July 2013 That is incredibly jammy. Lost at the Allianz once again, I'm convinced in 7 attempts I'm yet to even take a point from there, fvcking abysmal. It's us and Dortmund clear the top still. Bayern are up to third but if we don't come above them this year then we need shooting. Dortmund are three ahead of us though and I've still got to go there, plus our record there is barely any better than at the Allianz so I fancy Dortmund to win it. Got one of the easiest routes to a German cup ever though. I'm in the quarters and the next best team left is Koln (who knocked out Dortmund & Bayern), if we won't win that then I'm resigning. EDIT; Dortmund grab a last minute equaliser to stay on top as we beat Mainz 3-0. Frustrating but 2 points gained on them.
Tom17LCFC Posted 28 July 2013 Posted 28 July 2013 Got my first proper save going now with Zenit. Got Mertens for the left, Dzagoev for the centre and Hulk on the right who have absolutely smashed it. Was 9 points behind Anzhi with about 8 games left but turned it around including a 5-0 win at their place to win the league by 4 points. Hoping to do something useful in Europe this year after getting knocked out by Juve in the last 16 of the CL. How does Corentin Jean turn out btw? Got him coming in for £15m, 4 and a half star potential according to my assistant.
Dan Posted 28 July 2013 Posted 28 July 2013 I wanted him for St Etienne but never got him, looks class. You should breeze it with Zenit. They've won the Russian League on mine for 7 years running.

The Horse's Mouth Posted 28 July 2013 Posted 28 July 2013 Managing in the Russian league is fun, only thing I disliked alot about it was the rules you have to have for squad registrations.
Brainy Posted 30 July 2013 Posted 30 July 2013 Just been called a wily old manager Gonna be managing at 100yo+ at this rate
Dan Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 Dortmund are going to win the league. This is hearbreaking
Finnegan Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 Dortmund are going to win the league. This is hearbreaking EIN LEBEN LAAAAAAAANG!
Dan Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 EIN LEBEN LAAAAAAAANG! Had them with 7 games left away, 4 behind them and lost 3-2, there's basically no way back now. The year Bayern do shit and Dortmund go and pretty much replicate the usual Bayern standard. Unbelievable. I think the 'Champions' League however is extremely winnable. Us, Porto, AC Milan & Atletico in the semis. We've drawn Porto and are away first. Knocked these out last year and took 6 off Atletico in the groups. Best chance I'll get to win it.
Tom17LCFC Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 Left Zenit after 2 league titles to join Spurs who are 6 points off the pace in the PL. Reckon I'll stay here a few years before hopefully moving on to somewhere else in Eastern Europe. They've got an absolutely ridiculous team with Falcao up top and James Rodriguez sitting in behind plus a number of youngsters with 5 star potential. Klopp's just left Barca to join...Leverkusen
Dan Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 Klopp's a serious big club journeyman on mine. Dortmund to Chelsea to Bayern to Germany. It's hilarious watching Bayern change their manager every season. However it isn't hilarious when they go and piss the league.

You'll never win it, Schalke are permanent runners up! They're trying to make a realistic game.
Dan Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 You'll never win it, Schalke are permanent runners up! They're trying to make a realistic game. seems to be the case. Right, no more Mr save money for a rainy day. Time to go and buy a world class player or two out wide.
Dan Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 4 behind, 3 games. Nailed on Dortmund lose their next game and I win mine too just to seriously build my hopes up then Dortmund win their final two just to wind me up further. Drawn 1-1 away at Porto first leg. I'm in with a shout of all 3 competitions in April, that normally leads to just missing out on all 3.
Dan Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 Won at Frankfurt but Dortmund won too, so if they win another game they're champions. Beat Porto 3-0 second leg, Incredible display. Absolutely destroyed them despite having to play Draxler in a deeper midfield role, despite having to play someone completely incapable of playing on the right, on the right, despite having only 4 subs named. And it looks like we'll face Atletico Madrid in the final who won 0-3 at the San Siro, amazing really. I'd fancy us more against them seeing as I took 6 off them in the group.
Dan Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 Oh I don't fvcking believe this Woooooooooooooooooow. Dortmund host Stuttgart, we're away at Wolfsburg. If we win and they don't, we're champions, and the thing is it's actually not beyond the realms of possibility. Second season running I've been in a position like this as well. This would be absolutely sensational
