Played with the players that didnt have much playing time plus my reserves and got to say I am pleaseed with another 4-4 result. Played always dangerous 3-4-3 formation and with 3 defenders I expected to concede few. I am very pleaseed with my scoring but somehow I got to stop the leakage at the back line. Happy with 4-4 draw and tough 2 rounds to come against osasuna and powerhouse bayern munchen. Going to be very interesting

Didn't expect a draw let alone a win against rangers!! Just wanted to give them a tough game!! Have a decent chance of a good cup run with that victory now!! Cheers

Ah, so near and yet so far... gave Santos a good game, bringing 9 saves out of Jensen but undone by an OG and a RC. A great performance by the lads against one of the game's top sides, we can take heart for the remaining two fixtures.

18 shots on target, not one goal... barca ran riot and my defenders didnt get any tackles..
Well that was worth playing them.

Cheers Well done John, you got the rub of the green, good result for your team. Despite my advantage possession wise, your team battered mines and were worth the victory looking at the stats, looking at the set ups and the teams well that's another debate. Ger's miserable cup run continues, maybe time to call it a day as my chances of doing anything with my team are slim to none, tactically inept and clueless.

A steady 3-0 win sets me up nicely, shame my strikers couldn't get on the score sheet but a win was all we needed.

Poor result really against a side we should be beating at home. Regret resting a couple of players but we have to rotate this season. Chelsea appear good value for their point so i think a draw was a fair result. We need to start putting the ball in the back of the net more or this could be a long season.

Good to see are new star striker getting off the mark. Hopefully the start of something big. Also great to get a clean sheet playing 3 at the back something we'd love to do more. Okay we're not getting carried away given the opposition but we hope to use it more often this year.
Not sure what I make of the format of this cup. Really haven't a clue of the point totals you need. Our aim is to finish in the top 8 and get a home tie, if that's how it works? Don't think you'll see any advantage trying to be top of the lit at this stage.

FC Porto 5 - 0 Tottenham
very good win, didn't quite expect to get 5 tbh. was confident we could win comfortably given RVN was up against a lower rated keeper. Delighted to finally get the best out of Riquelme, thought he would be best with a top striker in front of him and he played great - 4 key passes and an assist and 2 goals from 3 shots. The man himself RVN got 2 as well and a clean sheet is always pleasing. Atsu got his first taste of 1st team footy for the season too and backup defender Squillaci also got a game.
maybe 1 or 2 others could feature in the cups soon, but wont be looking to weaken too much as want to do well in the cups this year and get the most of having RVN for his final season.
as for Gazza bringing up about my rants lmao........ slight difference in the fact we dominated a team to lose 2-0 not get dominated. that many attempts against your low rated keeper should see goals, well played Villa going for it with a 433 giving up possession but paid off with plenty of attempts.

Absolutely agree with that, Villa are deserving of their win, and like I stated earlier, we all play using the same engine and to the same rules, I am just at a loss as I have tried everything over the last few seasons, I am now stumped, keepers are just to influential, that's the only common theme I can see, mediocre strikers against great keepers just leave you p!ssing against the wind, no matter how good the rest of your team is. Love your rants mate, always bring a smile to my face, it's nice to see how philosophical you are after your 5-0 win (congrats btw), but had it been a defeat I imagine it would have been your typical effin and blinding rant !!
