Sunderland AFC: Nine Lives
Preseason 2013 Update


Sunderland 1-0 Elche
Ki 10'

The main point of this game was to see whose fitness needs improvement, but a win gives us an extra morale boost and the fans something to enjoy.

Osasuna 0-4 Sunderland
Fletcher 27', Bridcutt 30', Ki 38' 69'

We didn't expect to travel all the way to Spain and come back having thrashed a good side, but that's exactly what happened. Osasuna took it easy towards the end of the first half, and we capitalised on that.

Sunderland 4-2 Athletic Bilbao
Giaccherini 10' 61', Ki 22', Borini 83'
Toquero 12', Muniain 31'

Ki is on fire with his goals, making it four in three for a lad who's just here on loan. It was good to play around with the tactics and give some of the younger boys a chance, and Bilbao gave us a proper fight.

Hey guys, the squad and preseason updates are up.

From now on, I'll be updating at the end of every month with scores and match summaries, plus an analysis of the team's progress. There will be separate updates for transfer windows.

I'll also have press conference notes up at important junctures (purchase/sale of a major player, steps forward in the development project, trophy wins). Is there anything else you'd like to see?

After surprising everyone and winning my final 8 matches to pull out the Premier League Title at Stoke City, I decided to jump ship to Man. City after Stoke only gave me a budget of $20 million the following year. Stoke was a lot of fun for me, but I wanted to go somewhere where I could compete with the big boys in the Champion's Cup and get a better international gig. Ended up at Man City with a $120 budget and bought a few of my guys from Stoke (most notable one being Jordan Slew, who is an absolute god in this game). Ended up arranging transfer/swaps to bring in Balotelli and Neymar as well, so I have a devastating 3 man scoring attack between the two of them and Slew (who led the league in goals the prior year at Stoke and is once again leading the league so far through 9 matches at Man City).

Also jumped ship from Denmark to England. Could have gone to Argentina, but I couldn't resist being able to coach a lot of the guys that give me trouble in the Premier League.

Also changing up my formations. I ran a 4-5-1 at Stoke, but I'm running a 4-4-2 diamond now, with Slew and Balotelli as the strikers and Neymar as the CAM. It's taken me some getting used to, but I'm starting to figure out how to use the new formation and I'm starting to pick up a couple new skill moves to add to my repertoire.

Milwall 4-0 I've also received offers from Egypt, Romania, Slovenia, and New Zealand. Not sure which offer I'm going to take; I've already played with New Zealand, so they are not an option for me. But I think I might do a challenge so either Egypt or Romania. If anyone has used any of these International teams, I would love some insight.

Take Egypt!!!
Mohamed Salah!!
Egypt has some very nice players and securely the best choice out of the ones you mentioned

Try using a 4-3-3 attack with 2 CM and one CAM

Seems like that will suit your players

Use Neymar as LW
Balotelli or Slew as ST
Buy a good RW
And change the CAM position to a CF and play Balo or Slew there
This way you have 2 strikers AND Neymar is playing in his preferred LW position and he is amazing there
I am managing Brazil national team and play Neymar at LW, Pato at ST and Lucas at RW and Neymar has 15 goals in 8 games so far with Pato getting 11 in 8 and Lucas 8 from 8

A deadly striking force
