Ahh, last version I had didn't have the Conference League so winning the Liechtenstein Cup dropped you straight into Europa League qualifying rounds.
FM2006, I did 20 seasons with Arsenal. When the glorious "Richard Heath" came through the academy and into my first team, averaging 40-50 LEAGUE goals per season. Went on to be Arsenal's greatest player lol. Most decorated, most goals, most everything by miles.
I remember that game and it was Anthony Vanden Borre, Freddy Adu, Vincent Kompany, Igor Akinfeev (always linked to Arsenal) and Giuseppe Rossi who were absolute monsters. Had to get in early to get them cheap especially Vanden Borre.
I am very happy with Gyokeres....but, if Sesko doesn't work out at Man Utd, say...hmm..in two years, I'd like us to try for him again. What we saw Slavia Prague do with their big man Chury is what I think Arteta wanted, hold up play, back to the ball, bringing down long balls for Saka, Martinelli or Trossard to run on to. Also a lethal weapon on set pieces to give defenses the impossible choice of having to mark both him and Gabriel. Just my guess. I know....I know....I hear you but just what I hope possibly.
United for the 2nd week in a row bottle a 1-0 lead. Manager and player of the month you say Spurs absolute garbage and gift them 2 goals in 8 minutes to just about gift them the 3 points. And Sesko injures himself bottling a great chance meaning United down to 10 men. Edit: Spurs just Spurs themselves at home
Man U scored in the 32nd, Spurs pushed hard early 2nd half with a few chances but couldn't finish including a few cleared or saved on the goal line. Spurs made changes, one of those changes, Tel, scored in the 84th. Sesko has a chance to score, fumbles the moment and injures himself in the process. He goes off the field and down the tunnel and United are down to 10 men. 6 mins of added time. Spurs get a corner, its cleared to a player outside of the box who takes a shot which goes directly at Richarlison, he flicks it on with his head and it goes in at 90+1. All the United players had pushed out when they cleared the corner bar 1 slow defender who just happened to keep Richarlison onside, and Richarlison wasn't in the GKs line of sight so goal is awarded. Spurs looked like they would hold on for a vital 3 points when they give away a silly corner after an attack they didn't really need to make leads to a turnover and Mbuemo gets the ball forward and wins a corner. Ball is floated in and absolutely NO ONE is marking de Ligt who wanders to the back post and nonchalantly nods in a header at 90+6. Match ends 2-2. Spurs fans unhappy. United fans unhappy. Neutrals unhappy until the 84th minute slopfest happens.
Both teams absolutely dire and yet as it stands Spurs and United both temporarily equal 3rd on 18 points...
Us and Man Utd have each others striker. Amorim managed Gyokeres, had a specific plan on how to use him. As we all know Arteta waas keen on Sesko a year ago and tried to get him in the January window. Both sides would have likely had better effective use of their primary target as they had a specific tactic and plan for them. That said, we've gotten more use out of Gyokeres but I think its because we have the much better team.
From everything I have seen of Sesko so far this season he wouldn't be doing anything Gyokeres has done for us this season besides get injured. Definitely don't think his work rate would have been good enough to keep Arteta happy.
Just catching up on some footy that popped up on my DVR: Millwall vs Preston. Interesting to see the differences in the Championship. Pretty sparse crowd at the Den, but more importantly oh how I wouldn't mind the wholesome sponsorship of "Spud Bros" that Preston sports proudly on their shirt.
Yeah. While. neither has lit up this league, but Sesko has showed much less for Yanited than Gyokeres has for us.
Bayern needed Kane to save them from a loss in extra time in a 2-2 draw. So, that's good news. First dropped points in any competition. Clink in the Prussian armor. For the pedants (we know who he is), yes, I know Munich is in Bavaria not what was previously Prussia. The reference remains valid though.
