Johno's Career

Finally a merchandise feeder club It was either Dc United, Columbus Crew, Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps.

Went for Portlands Timbers based on club reps. Will be paying them 185K.

My expectations

Premier League: between 5th - 7th. - Don't see why we can't finish between those positions.
Europa League: First Round Knockout - I am hoping to see us get past of the group stages.
FA Cup: Semi Final - I am hoping for another decent run here.
Capital One Cup: Win it - I would like us to win it this season.

August 2017



We kicked off the season at home against Aston Villa, I decided to use 4-2-3-1 instead of 4-4-1-1.

Porsan-Clemente got us in front on 27th minutes with an strike instead the box after beating his marker to score his first goal in the league.

Sigurðsson got us the second goal in second half, getting onto end of Fischer's pass to smash it into top corner to give us the win.

Epic result over Fulham We went behind on sixth minute after dodgy call by Phil Dowd to award them a penalty, which Mile Jedinak converted to give them the lead. We kept banging on their door to get the equalizer goal. Went crazy at players at half time and rest was history Also made minor tweak with the team instructions.

Porsan-Clemente got his first goal, 3 minutes after half time, running onto Sigurðsson's pass to level the score. He got his second goal 11th minutes later, and this time getting the end of Fischer's pass to score. Fischer got us our third goal which put us out of sight with trio attack by Clemente, Sigurðsson and Murphy, after Murphy picked up Leali's long kick and passed it to Clemente who was outside the box, found Sigurðsson middle of the box and he found Fischer with no one with him and passed it to him instead of shooting to score. Tah also got his first goal for us from the only corner kick we has all game, heading in Mark Noble's corner kick.

Porsan-Clemente got his hat trick in injury time with an header from Murphy's cross.

After the match, both news popped up

Oh can we finish the season now?



Thanks you very much PSG.

Brought him in on loan. I am massive fan of him ( also in real life) and brought him in for cover. We're only paying 20% of his wage (110K p/w)

I know he's 34 But I think he still can play at top level.

Europa League group draw



Very tough group we are drawn in. I'm hopeful of finishing in top 2.

September 2017



An brace from Sigurðsson saw us beat Southampton.

We was poor against Wigan in first half, Fired up the players at half time saying we can win this and made few minor tweak and we ran away with it in second half.

Was tough match against Spartak Moskva. Fischer got us in front on 19th minutes with a strike after receiving Honda's pass to score. and Sigurðsson got our second goal in 2nd half with a free kick.

Gutted to see us suffered first lost of the season. It was game of 2 halves. We has chances to score but Clemente's shot hit the crossbar and Lukas Fabainski was in good form against us. Their goal came from second half after poor marking from Tah, let their striker get the winner on 65th minutes

Bounced back with a crushing win over Ipswich Town. Rested Sigurðsson and Fischer and played Gumede and Jarvis. Brilliant to see Gumede got his goal for us on his debut and also became our youngest goal scorer for the club. Delighted to see Matt Jarvis back and bagged an hat trick for us.

We was drawn against Stoke away in next round

Two goals from Clemente saw us beat Hull and we was poor in second half which Huddlestone pulled one back for them and we managed to hold on in the end.





No surprised to see him winning this month young player of the month. He also won August award too.

Finally



Asked them straight away after completing my course.

October 2017



Awful month

Defence was pathetic against Sporting CP. First two goals they waltzed through to score, other 2 goals was from tap in

Pathetic performance again from the defence, We went 1-0 up on third minute with Clemente striking. All of sudden they pegged us back straight away then they went in front on 8th minutes with a tap in from Augero. Thomsen level the score in added time of half time. Then we went into meltdown in second half which they scored 3 goals to beat us.

Much better performance from the team with us coming back from behind to beat Liverpool Mario Bellotelli put them in front on 31st minutes with an header from Coutinho's cross.

We was awarded a penalty on 63rd minutes after Muprhy was fouled in the box. Which Noble blasted it down the middle to level the game. Thomsen got us the winner on 71st minutes after Liverpool failed to deal with Murphy's cross which they only could head it to Thomsen who blasted it into top corner by the penalty spot to give us 3 points.

Another win on the trot, this time against Athletic Bilbao. We dominated the game even we won 2-1.

Sigurðsson put us in front on stroke of half time with his trademark - free kick Thomsen's strike put us 2 goals up on 64th minutes with an strike outside the box after getting the ball from Sigurðsson and smashed it into top corner which hit the post and went in.

Their goal was a weird one, they was awarded a penalty out of nowhere which Leali saved Llorente's penalty which he scores from the rebound.

Disappointed with our 2-1 loss to Arsenal Their goal came from De Vrij with a tap in on fifth minute And Wellbeck got the winning goal from them with 6 minutes left with a placed shot inside the box. Our goal came from Huntelaar when he just literally came on the pitch to score from tap in.
