Mancini just got fired in my game. Ol' Roy himself is the leading candidate for the job. If he gets it, I'm starting a rivalry.

Redknapp left Tottenham in the middle of the 11-12 season, while they were on top of the table, to go to Man City.

Just beat Galatasaray on the road 6-3 in a really offensive match. They needed to win to qualify too so they were going all out but we kept beating them on the counter attack. Started a lot of back ups as well and they put on a show offensively at least.

My team only has 4 losses, but we have 11 draws to go along with that, plus 14 wins. We are sitting in 7th when we should be in the top 3. We need to end the season on 9 straight wins but we play 5 of the 6 teams above us.

Robbie Fowler retired and three days later he's on my staff as a scout.

I've found that

Altidore -- Walcott
-------Arshavin--------
Rosicky---Cesc----Nasri
Vermalean-Koscienly-Song-Sangna

Is fucking deadly.

I can't be the only one that thinks this team would be lucky if it qualified for Europe, never mind being "deadly" lol.

But, whatever works I suppose. Good luck.

5-0 so far since I made the new lineup.

Altidore has 4 goals in 5 apps
Walcott has 1 goal in 5 apps
Arshavin has 3 goals in 5 apps

Beat the likes of Liverpool, Westham, Wolverhampton...

Probably one of the top, if not the best middle field in the EPL.

That's not a bad team. Not personally how I would run Arsenal, but Altidore gets really good really fast.

Ehhhh. It would be a lot better with RVP in the hole instead of Arshavin. Walcott's more of a super sub than someone you want starting.

Back 4 leaves a bit to be desired as well. Not sure why he'd want Vermaelen at left back if he's playing a 4-3-1-2. With that formation you generally want the fullbacks to provide width/be able to cross, neither of which Vermaelen is ideal for.

I mean, I guess they could sneak into the top 6, but I don't see that setup being better than either Manchester side, Chelsea, and he already said Tottenham smoked him.

IRL that lineup would get over run and probably concede as many as it scores. In FM, the speed and creativity there would be deadly

The finishing on St Etienne is god damn awful

[calgaryballer]

6 games, 3 goals scored, no wins, no losses.

Last game vs Montpellier. 20 shots total, 6 on target, 10 off, 4 blocked. No Goals

And I am trying to work an attacking style

[mgoblue2290]

Brutal game against Man U that ended in a 0-0 draw. Guys kept getting nicked up and Skrtel ended up leaving the game with an injury after I had used all my subs in the 73rd minute. Then Agger went out for a couple minutes so it almost ended in disaster but Pepe Reina stepped up big time and saved every thing.

Not to mention their were yellow cards flying everywhere for both teams.

[calgaryballer]

Lost my first game 2-0 against leaders Lyon. Feel I could have had something from it with better finishing

[BigHouseUSA]

Had three games in a row against Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City. Pulled draws out of all of them. Arsenal game was 4-4. They took a quick 2-0 lead and I came back before half to make it 3-2. Had an amazing last second goal. Scored in the 96th minute against Liverpool. Pulled even late against City too, they only had two shots, but one was a penalty. Now onto a nice easy run of matches.
