      Lost 2-0 in the first leg of my CL semi at Camp Nou and in the return leg had Gerrard sent off after 10 minutes.

      Oh, and i won 3-0 in extra time!!!

      I play Tottenham in the final.

      Ugh. Was up 1-0 and 3-1 vs Arsenal in the FA Cup final and lost 4-3 on pens.

      Won the CL though!! 2-1. Delighted.

      Just got asked a question about my working relationship with Tom Werner. The middle option was 'as always I am focused on training and coaching my team' :D

      Surely a reference to Rafa's post-Athens press conference in 2007?

      Went in for Javi Martinez for 41m - he went to the Mancs.

      Went in for Witsel for 40m - he went to the Mancs.

      They have Huddlestone, Witsel, Martinez, Cleverley, Nainggolan, Obi Mikel, Maher and Carrick. Not including when they had Strootman and Cabaye as well.

      And they aren't in the CL either! WTF.

      Anyways, got in Willian (21m), Xabi Alonso (1.8m), Schennikov (16.25m), Mavuba (free), Garay (free) and Bern Leno (13.5m).

      Also 2 young superstars for 5m combined.

      Sold Wilson (Arsenal 10m), Reina (Dortmund 15m), Shelvey (QPR 4.5m), Camacho (Valencia 10m), Enrique (Inter 13m), Flanagan (Wolves 5m), Downing (Wolves 3m), Pogba (Derby 7m) and let Sterling and Ibe go on loan.

      Not the best window but can build on it next season. Bummed to miss my two main targets in Martinez and Witsel. I need a top class CM. Xabi will do for a season, though.

      Finished 13th my first season in the Championship with Shrewsbury. Talk about a grind.

      Hopefully we get a little more funds, some luck in the market and improve faster...

      Just for a fun i decided to wait for one season to know what can BR do.Surprisingly Liverpool sacked BR in the middle of december due to the league postition (17th) and europa league exit. So i decided to take over liverpool to see what i can do. Would be a real challenge i guess. Was surprised to see no RB in the team. GJ went to chelsea, Flanno and Mcg is on loan, Kelly injured, no wonder why BR got the sack. Now i need to get pass tight December schedule and buy a new RB.
      Secure mid table position is my expectation.

      Started a Liverpool game recently, coming towards the end of my first season in charge. Got knocked out of the Europa League by Metalist in the last 32 which was disappointing, but won the League Cup after beating Arsenal on pens. About to play the FA Cup Final against Spurs. In terms of the league, I really should've had 4th sewn up but we cocked up and now we'll almost certainly finish 6th.

      One question, is it normal to go spiralling into quite big debt in the first season? My wages aren't excessive and I didn't spend more than the board gave me, but I'm £20m in the red.

      Wow. Was really exciting season. Managed to finish 7th in the last game and pushed everton to 8th  ;D. Planning to save the club from the mess BR made.

      All about set piece tactics I guess.

      I have Cavani, Suarez and Van Wolfswinkel as my strikers with Gameiro as back up as well. Ridiculous that i need 45 shots to score 3 goals with those guys as my choices. It's a lottery if the ball goes in.

      Ironically i'm up 6-1 vs Chelsea right now from 22 shots.

      My problem is exactly the same with this game. Watch it with key highlights and I'm lucky to see 3 plays and at the end I see that we had 30+ shots and little to no CCC's  :-\

      For me the problem is, with one tactic i will get a very good run for 5 or six games. Then it will fail miserably. The back passes to GK is pretty annoying, i have already conceded around 3 goals in that way,i think short passing is the problem.

      I create at least 5:1 clear cut chances vs my opponent and find myself up 4-3 or something stupid. It's not fair.

      Can't wait to get home from work and finish my season. FA cup final vs Arsenal (who have come back from 2-0 down twice in the last two finals vs me and won on penalties) and the league has 5 teams within 4 points with three games left.

      I have City and Chelsea of course while they all play relegation teams.

      This game is bullshit.

      22 shots and nothing. Must have a strike rate of 5%.
