Exactly the same thing happened in the Leverkusen match as did the Monchengladbach game where we gave them a 4 goal lead after 52 minutes this time though.Only in this game we could fight back and get a draw.It could of been a win but for a missed opportunity in the 93rd minute by valdez chamoro.Denis thomalia again helped himself to a good double with Valdez Chamorro and tomas Martinez getting the other goals in a very impressive fightback.
Not the best of games against koln but a good point on the whole.Siebe schrijvers scored a stunning acrobatic first goal for the club to put us ahead but they levelled pretty much right away and the game ended up in a draw.
We weren't in the best of form really going into the trip to stutgaart but we put in a great performance as tomas necid showed his anticipation skills to score twice on the rebound after the stutgaart gk saved shots on goal.Great result considering we rested a few with the Dortmund cup game coming up soon after.
Things are still going well but with those 2 draws we have dropped out of the top 4.I cant complain too much as we are still in a European spot and are well above the 16th place the media thought we would be in and around the 10th place I thought we would be in.

Made some very important signings this window.Brought in Michael keane again on loan until the end of the season.If he does as well as last season he will be very important to our quest for a European place.Brought in gaston gil romero and he will be important to add steel to that central midfield.Marouane fellaini has also been brought in for the same reason and if both fit they will be starters.One of our problem position has been lb with tagliafica not being very good.I am putting that down to it being his debut season so luke shaw has been brought in again on loan from man utd.Siebe schrijvers is our only attacking signing.A lad with very good potential.With necid seeming to of his a brick wall he could be important.Denis thomalia has hit a bit of form recently but I dont think it would be wise to continue without another striking option.It has been an expensive window but I will be fine until the summer.
Had a decent enough tour of turkey with a good win against antalyaspor before draws against tarsus and kirikhanspor.Back on home shores we got a great win against gent before a demolition of DHMi.We go into the 2nd half of the season in good spirits and hopefully that will transfer onto the pitch.

Right at the beginning of the month we had mainz in the cup.We destroyed them 5-1 in the league and were equally good in this one even though we rested practically all the defenders,gk and tomas Martinez.Dominik Kaiser got himself a stunning strike from range sandwiched between 2 goals from the impressive denis thomalia.Done well to get to the quart finals I think but we have Dortmund at home in the next round so it will be tricky.
If we do get through against dormund I don't really fear any of the others.Worst case scenario would be a trip to schalke but I have already won there.
A poor start to the month against Borrusia Monchengladbach as we gave them a 4 goal lead in the first 50 minutes.Diobolical game until the 60th minute when it was all us Another denis thomalia double and tomas Martinez strike gave us a good chance to get something from the game but we just couldn't get that 4th.
Another poor result at home to Augsburg.Again we gave them a lead this time 2 goals and we looked poor.Anton putilo scored a nice free kick but lucas boye put them further ahead not long after half time and we never looked like getting back into it.
Same story for the month in the 1st half against Dortmund as we gave them 2 goals in the 7th and 8th minute and they controlled the rest of the half but what a response in the 2nd half.Tomas Martinez pulled one back right after half time before a very funny own goal got us level.Denis thomalia continued his impressive month with the winner.
It is only when you look at the league table you see how important that fightback against Dortmund was.Form has started to get a bit sketchy but we are in 4th and we can be very proud of that.If we can get mid table I will be happy but I am expecting a spot in Europe.Koln have again been very impressive and can be the blueprint of what we want to do.We are conceding too many though and ilori and coates haven't been very good so I am looking at other options.
Not surprised in the slightest with this.11 assists and 12 goals in his opening 18 games for us.
As I said I have already made a couple of signings and I am looking at a couple more.They will be shown in the next update.

The month started off with a poor game against hamburg.It wasn't a good performance at all and we deserved to lose.
A great win against werder Bremen followed.A boring goalless 1st half was followed by a fantastic 2nd half when goals from tomas Martinez,Denis thomalia and an ante rebic double secured all 3 points for us and helped our goal difference a bit.
3 points were given up in the dusseldorf game.We were 3 up by the 50th minute thanks to Tomas Martinez (2) and Tomas necid but we just fell apart after that and gifted them 2 goals thanks to defensive mistakes and an own goal by lukas klostermann.Not happy about this match.
After the dusseldorf game I was fearing the worst against an in form Bayern team but after going behind we responded well and got a share of the spoils thanks to tomas necid.They did have the lions share of the chances but we held on to claim a good point.
5 points from 4 games sees us keep our 3rd place but there are some signs that results might start going against us more.A poor December could see us drop a few places and to be honest I am looking forward to the winter break where I will be sorting out some decent fixtures in the hope of getting morale high for the new year.
Extra money has been made available and has already pretty much been spent.Have one massive incoming signing for cm and a good young striker coming in.

A very good win given we rested a lot of players.If we did play our full strength team I think it would of been a lot more comfortable but we got the win that sends us through to the next round of the cup.
A bore draw against hannover started the month off.This was a good chance missed against a struggling team but we weren't at the races at all and there were hardly any highlights.
Another missed chance against a struggling team but its another away game done.Tomas Martinez equalized after they went ahead very early on.Rebic then equalized a minute after modeste scored to make it 2-2.Juan albin then put us ahead with his 1st goal for the club and we were looking good until the final 3 minutes when hoffenheim bombarded us and managed an equalizer of their own in the 91st minute when modeste headed in his 2nd unmarked from a corner.I shouldn't complain given the amount of late goals we have got but it was a gutting moment.
Back to winning ways in superb fashion against mainz with tomas Martinez scoring a brilliant hat trick.Ante rebic who was also on fire with a couple of assists got one along with denis thomalia who was only playing as tomas necid is injured.
Another undefeated month means we are still in a great position but those 2 draws could and should of made the league look even better for us.Still we are in a fantastic position and near enough halfway to our target points.
More improvements on the facilities and with the way they are getting better each year we will be getting good regens through our academy in no time.

Fantastic point at another one of the bigger clubs.This time Wolfsburg.They did dominate and went ahead through an amazing long range thunderbolt from Fabio borini but ante rebic scored just after half time to give us a share of the spoils.
Hertha berlin couldn't cope with tomas Martinez in this 1st half.The argentine got 2 great goals and an assist for tomas necid in a great performance.Anton putilo scored a fine free kick to give us a commanding 4 goal lead at half time.In the 2nd half the lads just fell asleep but luckily enough for me hertha berlin could only manage 2.
Another good win at Freiburg to round off the month.Again I was dominated but Adrian kept me in it with a number of good saves.Tomas necid scored a late header to win the game for us and continue our great start to the season.
Still doing very well and find ourselves in 2nd place going into October.I cant help but think another defeat or 2 isn't too far away though.We have rode our luck a bit this month.October doesn't give us a tough run of fixtures on paper though so I am hoping of another undefeated month but I will be happy with 4 points from the 6 games given 2 are at home.

I made the right signings as I was pretty sure where we needed to improve.I agree 100% about necid being a poor mans ibra.Madlung was going to be a starter each time but with ilori and coates coming in he has gone back to 3rd choice.I had 2 formations from the start.4-3-2-1 with 3 cms and 2 wingers which I primarily used last season but with Martinez coming in I am going to be playing the other formation I had of 4-2-3-1 with a mc moving further forward.
Played a slightly weakened team in this one and went behind but the response was good.Should of been beating these by 3 or 4 and we probably would of done if it wasn't our first match with a lot of new players.Martinez was great.
What a start to the season with 3 points at the veltins arena.They were all over us for long periods of the game but we went ahead through a comical own goal.They did level but we somehow managed to get a last gasp winner through denis thomalia.A fantastic start to the season.
After that win at schalke I was expecting a draw at least against Leverkusen but son heung-min was on fire with goals and an assist.Anton putilo with our 2 goals and tomas Martinez with our assists,
Another great win this time against last seasons surprise package.Tomas necid got us off to a flier when timo horns clearance rebounded back off necid into the net.They equalized before anton putilo got his 3rd goal in 2 games.Again they equalized but rani khedira scored a beauty late on to win it for us.
Another good win against stutgaart.This was a smash and grab.They deserved to win it easily but we held on and Dominik Kaiser smashed one in from 30 yards to give us all 3 points.
Fantastic start to the season and more than I could of asked but we are in 3rd place on merit.Tomas Martinez has been the standout performer for me with anton putilo also starting off his Leipzig career very well.
There was no more incomings or outgoings.

Good to get another licence or at least to start the study of another licence.I still want to do 2 per season so I can get them all quicker.
Got myself a new contract.Board must be happy with me.
One of my terms for the new contract was another link and this time I could ask for a commercial one.Very happy with this one though as it will surely bring in more money.
The media aren't giving us much hope but to attempt to avoid relegation.That is the aim for me this season but I am targeting 40 points which should steer us to safety.
I only had 12m so apart from the free transfers I sold before I bought.There is a couple on the outgoings I really didn't want to lose but I did get some decent money in.I was holding our for 9m for poulsen but only got 8.5m.Ended up losing 2 decent players to hertha berlin who I would probably in similar position with this season but the players wanted to go so I didn't have much of a choice.Marcel sabitzer went to sevilla for peanuts I think.Hespent last season at salzburg and wanted a new contract but I couldn't offer the 40k he wanted.
I did bring in some real quality though.Necid will be my main striker and albin should be good for us.Got rebic back on loan and if he is anything like last season he will be great.The biggest signing was undoubtedly tomas Martinez.He has always done good for me in previous careers.Tagliafico is a massive improvement of any other lb I had.Coates and ilori will be our starting cbs and chamarro looks class.A good window for us I think.This is likely to be all the incomings and outgoings unless someone comes in for a player and they want to move.
A poor start to the pre season fixtures.Our trip to china was appalling with us losing all our matches.I cancelled a couple of friendlies and replaced them with easier games.Might be the cowards way out but I really didn't want to be heading into the season with a squad with poor morale especially with a tricky first few games.

Not going be a long update as I want to get back into the game after a long day.I have already made a couple of signings which I will mention in the next update.
I personally though rebic would of got this as he was incredible.Poulsen was good though.Unfortunately for me rebic has gone back to fiorentina and several clubs are sniffing around poulsen and I have placed a 9m asking price on him.Kimmich looks like he will be on his way back to stutgaart as there is a clause in his contract he will be gone if I receive just 625k.
I could seriously do with getting more sponsorships.25m isn't enough for my liking but that is something out of my hands.At least 3 of those shirt names probably wont be here at the start of the season.Aimars contract ran out and after a poor season I didn't want to renew it.Poulsen is likely to be going as is boyd.
Very happy that in last couple of months all facilities have been upgraded and the scouting had been extended.Can only bode well for us in the long term.

In terms of the pre match focus and training I tend to never use the assistant.I am sure it works for others but I don't like the odd couple of players responding negatively to what they say.More often than not I either speak passionately or assertively and just tell them what I expect.I always do the odd individual one too.If a player plays well in the match I let them know and if not I tell them that too.Pre match training I do tend to go with the assistant more often than not.
