team discussion Liverpool FC [2] - Page 8

Played 9 games now, including a Carling CUp tie against Exeter. The team I fielded should've been strong enough to beat them, but somehow we lost. So far the only blemish on a fantastic start.

PL  Everton    H  1-0  [Suarez]
PL  Arsenal    A  1-0  [Suarez]
CC  Exeter     H  1-2  [Suarez]
PL  Fulham     H  2-0  [Lucas, Adam]
PL  Swansea    A  0-0
PL  West Brom  H  1-0  [Suarez]
PL  QPR        A  3-0  [Downing, Skrtel (2)]
PL  Blackburn  H  3-0  [Carroll(2), Skrtel]
PL  Newcastle  A  2-1  [Suarez, Downing]

Playing a 4-2-4 with 2 wingers, adopting a nice rotation policy as well to keep everyone happy. My main team though looks like this:
            Reina
Johnson  Skrtel   Agger  Enrique
        Gerrard   Lucas
 Kuyt                    Downing
          Suarez  Carroll

Sirjordan I'd just go 4-2-3-1 and play Suarez up front on his own. On my old Liverpool save he done very well there in the first season, think he hit something like 23 goals.

On this new save I am far too reliant on Luis. Got past the January window, sold Dirk Kuyt to Inter for £7.25million and brought in Urby Emanuelsen and Andre-Pierre Gignac on loan for the rest of the season. After 25 games we're 2nd, 6 points behind Man Utd and now have a 3 point gap over 3rd Everton. Definitely next season we'll see the back of Doni, Aurelio and Bellamy, possibly Adam, Carroll, Maxi and McFadden if anyone will take them. Defensively we've bossed the Prem this season, with some good firepower we'd have taken the league already. Only conceded 9 goals this season but scored just 37, but at home we've played 12 and have a 100% record. We've also conceded just twice at Anfield and scored 24 of our 37 there. We narrowly beat Cardiff 3-2 in the FA Cup, a late Suarez equalizer and an even later Andy Carroll winner put us into the last 16 with a trip to Reading. Suarez's record this season compared to our other strikers:

Luis Suarez - 28 played, 20 goals, 5 assists, 4 MoM, avg. rating of 7.32
Andy Carroll - 20 played, 6 goals, 3 assists, 1 MoM + avg. rating of 6.85
Craig Bellamy - 19 played, 1 goal, 5 assists, 2 MoM + 6.81 avg.
James McFadden - 6 played, 1 goal, 1 assist, 0 MoM + 6.87 avg.
Giorgios Samaras - 5 played, done nothing, avg of 6.74

Finished my 1st season, no silverware and finished 2nd behind United. Got rid a lot of the junk and very happy with my signings.

Played 4 matches, had a poor start and we find ourselves 8th, already trailing leaders Man Utd and Chelsea by 8 points. Also drawn the Champions League groups, we've got Schalke, Rosenborg and as luck would have it, Barcelona.

Still operating a rotation policy, but our main line-up looks like this:
              Reina
Johnson  Skrtel   Agger   Enrique
         Lucas   Gerrard
Rodriguez                Guardado
         Cavani  Suarez

Started again after downloading the Chels January Update. Got rid of MTK and Bray Wanderers as feeder clubs, added Southampton. Made a lot of releases, loaned out Eccleston, Ngoo, Robinson and Flanagan to Brentford, Wrexham, Sheffield United and Southamnpton respectively. Sold Brad Jones to Valencia for £1million and added Marc-Antoine Fortune and Tiberio Guarente on loan costing £25'000 and £800'000. Played 6 games, 5 wins and 1 defeat. We're currently 2nd although if Arsenal win their game in hand we'd drop to 3rd.

CC  Peterborough  A  4-1  [Silva, Adam(3)]

Also had Cookie10 make these kits for me, what do you's think?
