I have no idea how to stop wild lack of shots of target especially when it matters. Because the Europa League final was TORTURE. Let me put the stats up first for context And what does the score wind up being? A 1-1 draw after extra time where the goals were scored ONLY in extra time 😑. Thankfully the penalty shootout was good enough despite us fumbling a bit. ...
We had the chance at our first trophies because of how dominant we were in the league besides the Carabao Cup but we had Arsenal to beat if we needed to win that particular cup. And given United did the right decision getting rid of Onana, I have no idea what Arsenal were thinking getting him long before I came in, knowing how bad he was but hey they got deadwood out of that place and Arsenal thought they could fix him DESPITE seeing what he is capable of(It reflected real life that’s all I can say) and the EFL Cup Final showed that with this result. ...
Got to say we found a fairly good meta with this system. The only thing that is preventing me from switching it to full on Amorim is the fact that our best player is the Boca regen on the RW spot. He does have some familiarity at the RM position so it could be a mismatched formation but the same philosophy maybe. We still have to see. In other news, Ugarte and Martinez have believed in the project enough to stay thankfully by the first international break ...
Even though I have this kind of a chance to win all the UEFA competitions for the first time in FM24, with the kind of downgrade from the Champions League to the Europa League meant complaints from the players and this is the list of players who wanted out Out of those people I managed to move Zirkzee on but for some reason he willingly accepted a move to Al-Nassr for 60M(Never makes sense how he wanted to move to a Champions League club but decides to accept a SPL offer 🤔 Guess any Champions League works for the guy). Thankfully I didn’t let them put transfer requests and besides that the values of those players are really high only PSG and all can afford them really which means we can at least keep them and won’t be unhappy till we manage to get back into the Champions League. ...
This is going to be a long, long, LOOOONG post today because we had so much go down off the pitch and on it as we finished up a CRACKING second season at Napoli. Okay first up it was on the pitch. I didn’t want to mention it a lot because I kept expectations low. You have to remember we drew 1-1 in the league stage against Man City and the first leg being at home it surprised the hell out of me ...
Before I get into the title of this post we got a trophy roundup because we won both the Supercoppa and the Serie A once again and only one of them would be counting towards miles if we still counted it. The Supercoppa was up first and the semi was straightforward with a narrow win to Juve(I have just embraced it at this point 😅) Di Gregorio(Their keeper) is always on a mad one against us seemingly. ...
Still doing a good job staying unbeaten in the second season and there are the same suspects at the top of the league with Fiorentina up there with us surprisingly still. And given we had a big start to the Champions League with PSG who are without Donnarumma(By the data update he moved to City) and we had a mega LOL moment. Samu was in really fiery form coming into that match and the manager of PSG said this: ...
Given I don’t see United being taken over or them removing their current coach in Valverde I want to just be concise in what I am doing until the job ever opens up. United are a fairly okay side to now finally qualify to the Champions League now but their finances are very poor I don’t know how they are not getting taken over yet but FREAKING Liverpool have a GODDAMN tycoon to add to their mega bank which just angered me even more. ...
We interrupt the regularly scheduled January program for something that happened which made me wonder a bit and it was a VERY expensive signing. First up the match against my old club in Trabzonspor was more close than it should have been but we got the points to skip the knockout playoff round and the win against Chelsea was so important because we pipped them to the final spot in the Top 8. ...
Talk about being thrust into the deep end because the moment I got signed on as Napoli boss I had a match against Arsenal to deal with the VERY NEXT DAY. And given the lack of coaching staff to boot as well I had to make do. But after a mega win against our rivals in Roma which was anti climactic because their squad had some big injuries and their backups were horror which led to them losing their manager after that. And after that I was only focusing on getting results to keep moving us up the league. ...
