FM16 #9 (LFC)

Keeping up the good results! #9 

Many things have happened since last I updated you on this FM blog matter. I've been preparing for my exam which made it difficult to get anything else done. But now I'm back ready to give you all some updates.

Premier League

The first five matches we were going to take part in was against Everton, Watford, Crystal Palace, a though one against Chelsea and then Stoke. 

We have had a great season this far and therefore my expectations was high for us keeping the good results coming. 

Everton 0 - 2 Liverpool (Kane, OG Baines)

Watford 1 - 3 Liverpool (Lallana, Matip, Kane)

Liverpool 2 - 0 Crystal Palace (Coutinho, Kane)

 Liverpool 2 - 1 Chelsea (Kane, Kane)

Liverpool 1 - 1 Stoke (Embolo) 

Some great matches where I got 13 points out of 15 possible. Kane continued being in great shape scoring a lot of goals. Sadly we couldn't keep the row of victories only getting a draw against Stoke. Rossiter did get another red card after 90 minutes against Stoke. We was in front up until 86 minute where Milik scored. 

Next up we had some big matches in front of us. Manchester City at Etihad and Tottenham at White Hart Lane. 

Liverpool 3 - 1 Cardiff (Clyne, Kane, Ojo)

Burnley 0 - 1 Liverpool (Kane)

Manchester City 1 - 2 Liverpool (Silva, Ibe)

 Tottenham 1 - 1 Liverpool (Ibe)

Liverpool 1 - 0 West Brom (Sakho)

Another five great games where we only stumbled a little bit against Spurs only getting one point.  Jordon Ibe scored after 20 minutes but then only six minutes later we gave them a penalty where Son Heung-Min scored. 

Norwich 2 - 2 Liverpool (Kane, Kane)

Liverpool 1 - 1 Newcastle (Coutinho)

Leicester 1 - 2 Liverpool (Firmino, Coutinho)

Sheff Wed 0 - 0 Liverpool

Liverpool 3 - 0 Swansea (Sakho, Kane, Kane)

We only won two of these five matches which wasn't good enough. Especially the lack of points against Sheff Wed disappointed me! Kane had three games without scoring but then got back against Swansea with two great goals!

FA Cup

In the FA Cup we was put up against Huddersfield. A team we had to win against! We played with some reserves but not many. We have had a longer break from matches at this time and therefore I would want them to get some minutes on the pitch. 

We won 3-0 after goals by Coutinho, Firmino and Henderson. Huddersfield couldn't do anything about it and we had a fine match.

Next up we met Norwich at their homeground. After only 12 minutes they were in front 2-0. Jay Rodriguez was outstanding! He scored again after 40 minutes. Milner reducing this one minute later - and Benteke another minute later.

Two minutes later Embolo showed up in front of goal scoring and equalizing! 3-3.

After 73 minutes Wolfswinkel nailed it with a great 4-3 goal and making us loose. 

Champions League

As you know we were put up against Monaco in the Champions League. It was a test for us but a test I was sure that we could manage! We had to move on from this and getting to the next round. 

After four minutes Harry Kane scored and got us the lead. Jordon Ibe with a goal after 27 minutes made this a great game with two awaygoals this early in the game. 

Moutinho reduced after 32 minutes

2-1 was the final result. I was happy with a win and two awaygoals. 

In the return match Harry Kane got injured and was taking of the pitch after a few minutes giving Embolo the chance to play. After 59 minutes the score was 0-0 but then Joe Gomez got sent of the pitch after getting the seond yellow card. Now it got really intense! 

We made some changes playing with Saul in the defense. In the 91 minute Monace finally scored a goal - but that wasn't enough for them and therefore we qualified for the next round!
