ouch.
I'm currently top of the league on my game, but only by two points and second have a game in hand.
Bad though as I was 1 point clear (both played 25 games) and I went 2-0 up away to a side how came top half last season within the first half hour.
Just before half time my LB (Gareth Bale, it's 2019 so he's just under 30) goes off injured.
Bring a LB on. He cocks up to let them back in it with half an hour to go. I hail him off as he's having a mare and end up putting a CB at LB. He does all right but they get an equaliser, down my left hand side.
Despite dominating the game (should have been 3-4 up, should have scored at least one at 2-1, and had chances at 2-2)
Got a big few months coming up too.
Palermo in the first leg of the uefa cup tie, then away to Luton in the fa cup 5th round. The the league cup final, then the uefa cup second leg.
So 4 games which are important cup wise, winning the league cup would mean that I had a good season regardless of what happens over the next few seasons, as the board only want a respectable league finish, and the fans to qualify for the uefa cup. But I have made 2 uefa cup finals in 3 seasons, winning one. And made the fa cup semis last season, so I can go on to win both of those too.
But my next 4 league games are massive massive games. So with midweek games I have to rotate the side, which could lead to a replay or losing a tie.
My league games are away to chelsea and Liverpool, and at home to arsenal and city. Arsenal and chelsea are mid table, Liverpool 5th and city my main title challengers.
Some proper tough decisions.
