Got eliminated from the cup, didn't attend either leg. Again a team slightly weaker than mine wrecked me at home 0-4, in the 1st leg. Managed to beat him away but only 1-0, and my goalkeeper was man of that match. The good old earlier cup eliminations I have always been used to...

In the league, I trail the guy who crushed me 0-5 at my stadium by three points. He has won all of the first 9 games, and I am 8-0-1. Sensing that our next meeting will be decisive and hoping it will be just like the cup tie I mentioned above, me responding to a demolition with the narrowest of wins.

Cruising in the group stages of CL, we'll see what happens next. Glad that I can be more flexible with my formation since buying a DMC a few days ago. The center back pair and AML play every game, all others get rotated every once in a while.
