Scuk07 is on a distinguished road
Default Trying to end all those years of hurt at Liverpool

Im using the new Beta Database, 8.03.


Running leagues i've got USA, Belgium, England, Germany, France, Italy, Holland, Portugal, Scotland, Australia and Brazil (scouting purposes) All these league are running at lowest league and above.

I've taken over at Liverpool. Sacked some staff (mainly the spainish ones) replaced them with Ray Clemence (gk coach) Andy Feeley (assistant Manager) Jamie Redknapp (coach) plus i've added scouts (got 9 in total) and set-up a network from all the regions.

Just started, and so far not sold anybody or brought anybody but have placed Pennant on the transfer list. Shipped some youngesters out to affilated clubs, and asked for another which turned out to be Sint-Truident of Belgium.

David Bentley has been recommended to me, and im attempting to sign him. (something the real Liverpool team is missing a decent right winger, and im scouting Klaas-JAn Hunterlaar from Ajax (a friend recommended him from his game.)

So i'll keep you updated with the pre-season friendlies and signings soon.

Scuk07 is on a distinguished road
Default Update end of August

Friendlies

West Brom (A) 2-2
Crewe (A) 4-0 win
Benfica (H) 3-1 win
Wrexham (A) 3-0 win
Bohemians (A) 2-0 win

Got drawn against Sparta Prague in the Champions League Qualifiers 3rd round

Opening day of the season Vs Sunderland (A)11-8-07
Went 1-0 down after 3 minutes to a Kenwyne Jones Strike, it stayed that way until the 60th minute (including Gerrard missing a penalty after 29 minutes) when Crouch came on and changed the game. He scored with his 1st touch a delightful chip past the keeper. Then a Crouch break through forced a corner from which Carragher (yes Carragher) scored making it 2-1 after 69 minutes. We had many chances after that (Crouch missing a couple as did Kuyt) but none were taken.

Final score Sunderland 1-2 Liverpool

Vs Sparta Prague (H) 15-8-07
1-0 up after 9 minutes, Torres and Kuyt work well together ending with a tap in for Torres. then 2-0 after 34 minutes as Kuyt goes alone and slots it in. Torres then had to go off injuried on 76 minutes, replaced him with Vorinin. Prague then had Sivok sent off (87) and Voronin scored a 3rd in the 91st minute.

Final Score Liverpool 3-0 Sparta Prague
(Torres out injured for 2 months with Fractured ribs)

Vs Derby (A) 18-8-07
Started with Crouch as Torres injured. Kuyt unhappy as i rejected a bid from Inter. Game kicked off and for the majority of the 1st half Crouch peppered the target but couldn't score, Then went 1-0 up through a Klukowski own goal, should have been Crouch's but it went in off Klukowski.

Final score Derby 0-1 Liverpool (boring game, but a win none the less)

Accepted a 10million bid for Crouch from Tottenham
Had bids accepted for Gai Assulin (Barcelona U19) and Ryan Taylor (wigan) both signed before next game

Vs West Ham (H) 22-8-07
Assulin and Taylor both make Debut
Went 1-0 down through a Antonia Di Natale strike, when West Ham hit us on the break from a corner forced by Assulin. Then went 2-0 down as Craig Bellamy burst through again on the break from one of our corners. Went ballistic at half time with individual anger shown to most of the player.
Straight from kick off Kuyt ran through their defence and scored making it 2-1. Then after 53rd minute Kuyt again burst through shrugging off Anton Ferdinand in the process and slotted past green making it 2-2. From then on We aattacked for the rest of the game, but couldn't take our chances. including Gerrard hitting the bar in the 93rd minute.

Final Score Liverpool 2-2 West Ham

Crouch signed for Spurs for 10 million.

Vs Tottenham (H) 25-8-07
Crouch on the bench.
38 seconds into the game and Lennon scored from 25 yards. 1-0. Stayed that way til half time, when i showed encouragement to the whole team and declared Gerrard and Kuyt could make a differnce. On 49 minutes Gerrard hit a screamer from 30yards which flew past Robinson making it 1-1. Again We attacked none stop and on 69 minutes Voronin slooted home a low cross from Ryan Taylor. Game died after that and it finished 2-1.

Final score Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham

Vs Sparta Prague (A) 29-8-07 (3-0 up on agg)
Lost Gai Assulin to injury in the 16th minute. Then on 28 Prague scored through Kulic after he burst down the left and cut inside to score. Stayed that way til the 81st minute when Kulic again scored this time from a corner making it 2-0. Set up a really tense finish. In the 93rd minute Agger brought Kulic down in the area giving Prague a penalty which Kulic missed. Would have foreced extra time.

Final score Sparta Prague 2-0 Liverpool (2-3 on aggrigate)

Got drawn into group G with Stuttgard, Anderlect and Lazio. Hardest group in the Champions League.

With Transfer deadline day approaching made a desperate attempt to sign Hunterlaar, wnet as high as 19m (all i hadl left) but was rejected so made a bid for Eddison Cavani from Palmero, (was highly recommended by 2 of my scouts) signed him for 10m. But his work permitt was rejected so he's unable to play until it's reviewed!!!!! so stuck with Voronin and Kuyt up front with Lindfield on the bench. Beginning to think selling Crouch was a mistake!

Summary

2nd in the league with 10 points, 2 behind Man City and 2 in front of Bolton in 3rd.

Came second in the manager of the month award, behind Sven.

Qualifed for the group stages of Chamions League

Lost Torres for another month.

Signed
Gai Assulin (5.75m) (barcalona)
Ryan Taylor (7.75m) (Wigan)
Eddison Cavani (10m) (Palmero)

Sold
Crouch (10m) (Tottenham)
COuldnt get rid of Pennant. Villa came close but deal fell through because he got injured.

Keep up the good work and make sure you don't let us Reds fans down.
