Season 41

[July Fourth]

Champions League Group C Round 1

July Fourth 6-0 Real Palermo

July Fourth 118.2 4-1-2-1-2 ND then subbed DL for ML at HT - Real Palermo 107.8 5-3W-2

To our major surprise tonight, we decided to play a semi-weaker team, based on player fitness and looked at our opponents strategy and saw they went 5-4-1 about 30 minutes before the game, but when kick-off came and our opponent switched to 5-3W-2, think he looks like he is giving CL a miss this season, mainly possibly because of our quality. Well, My past experience was that last time I played 5-3W-2 I also played the ND and guess what? I won 6-0 that time, I did the same again tonight although I made a tweak at HT, We got off to the perfect start on 2 minutes with Michu finding space and passing it to the ever reliable Papaleo to give us the lead, it was soon 2-0 when we won a corner an Stuart crossing into Michu to knock it in, 4 minutes later again from a corner Stuart crosses in and finds Malik to get his first for the club with a header, we continue to press and just as we went into half-time Diamond scored from long range to make it 4-0, I made 3 changes and gave 3 more reserve players a run out, Our opponents enjoyed a good spell after the restart by getting the ball forward plenty of times but our defence was too strong and we soon got back on top and when we did Diamond made it a brace on 72 minutes from 25 meters, Papaleo missed a sitter, then Miku had a long range effort saved before McNamara coming in on the left midfield on the formation tweak had a shot that deflected off a defender and into the goal. Many of the game changing play came from Hardy who was able to turn defence into attack on many occasions in this game, maybe he knows that Childs/Malik are potentially forcing him out the team and he wants to fight for a starting place.

Goals: Papaleo (2) Michu (12) Malik (16) Diamond (45,72) McNamara (80) MOTM: Hardy.

Despite now only being 3rd choice striker now, Papaleo still has a key role in our clubs fortunes this season and has shown us here once again, even though the player is in decline. With Pietropaolo been PTed to 7*, Papaleo is 3Q lower than Pietropaolo and 8Q behind Michu, with rotation on games Papaleo will still feature a lot this season.

No. I changed the players name to Alessio Pietropaolo, He is off another football manager game I recently started playing once again at the beginning of the year, that games slow though, 2 games per week in the league and 2 weeks off, making a season lasts 3 months, but I'm only semi-active, I bought that Alessio Pietropaolo on that game for practically a free transfer and all he does is score goals, so I thought, why not give him a shot in T11 and see if he can come good there as well. May wind down with a couple of friendlies against my punchbag teams if it lets me and log off the game for the night. RR Cup tomorrow too, something else to look forward too as well as July Fourth vs Batigo United.
