Everton Take First Merseyside Derby of 2015/16

<p>LIVERPOOL &ndash; Jurgen Klopp and Jordan Henderson&rsquo;s first Merseyside Darby as manager and captain started off brilliantly, as Henderson weaved through the Everton defense to take a 1-0 lead. They would carry the lead into the halftime break&mdash;but would be on the receiving end of a shocking penalty, which Lukaku blasted past Simon Mignolet&mdash;who actually almost made a brilliant save.</p>

<p>The Reds would hit the bar 4 times on Sunday, unable to find the back of the net again&mdash;after Henderson scored his (team leading) 3rd league goal of the season. Liverpool were without Jordan Ibe, Emre Can, Coutinho, and Daniel Sturridge (limped off 1st half). The international break comes at a perfect time for them, as they&rsquo;re expected to have all 4 players back for their next league game v Tottenham, at White Hart Lane.</p>
<p>The loss puts Liverpool a dismal 16th on the table, while Everton shoot up to an incredible 2nd place, just one off the leading aforementioned Spurs. After the break, Liverpool has a busy October&mdash;playing 5 games in 14 days (3 BPL, 1 Europa, 1 Cap One).</p>

We all make mistakes, well except me!

That was a horrible first derby, taking the lead and then losing 3-1 while hitting the bar FOUR times. But hey, it can only get better right?

I guess, lol...

In my Arsenal career, my wingers are Gareth Bale and Alexis Sanchez. Let's just say I'm struggling getting used to Lallana and Origi, lol....

Dunno if you watched the video, but the first penalty was crap--and the 2nd one was pure frustration.

Gonna try to keep after it. I'm getting better playing with them. Just a big hole to dig out of...

F.A Cup - Round 2
Newport County - Barnsley (2-2)
Thuram 21' (B. Moore)
Williams 52'
Boutaïb 79'
Blackett 89' (Salo)

Barnsley goalkeeper Adam Davies played out of his mind all game long, pushing The Exiles to the brink of elimination until a shot from outside the box by the one of the unlikeliest scorers essentially sent this match-up to a replay later this month. Davies was worth the price of admission all on his own, making 8 saves, each one seemingly more impressive than the previous one. Newport put together 12 shots, 9 on goal, and needed every bit of it to simply draw against a squad they undoubtedly outplayed but was simply more decisive with their chances.

Spoiler

Adam Davies did not see this shot to his right from Tyler Blackett in the 89th minute until it was too late due to all the bodies between him and the ball.

J. Paint Trophy - Area Semi Final
AFC Wimbledon - Newport County (2-3)
McKay 13'
Beere 31'
Ince 39' (McKay)
Taylor 80'
Gordon 90+' (B. Moore)

Clark Gordon turned in a full game effort and put a bow on it with a game-winning goal on practically the last play of the game in stoppage time.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rFhPXbjBnyU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

With consecutive cup games in a four-day span and league game lurking four days later Marccelino did not want to use Konsta Salo in the game so Gordon was asked to go all the way. It was a hard-fought game the way these match-ups used to be in League Two action, but the best team prevailed at the end.

League Match 21
Newport County - Chesterfield (1-1)
P. Miller 42' (Salo)
Evans-Blake 84'

Sylvan Ebans-Blake was relentless all game long and the fourth time was charm for him as he finally got a shot on target and turned it into the equalizer for the game's final score. The Exiles' B-team turned in a respectable effort but were unable to create many scoring opportunities and it was Emiliano Martinez who would walk away with MOM honors after Chesterfield's 9 shots (5 on goal).

League Match 22
Oldham Athletic - Newport County (1-1)
Cassidy 5'
McKay 35' (B. Moore)

Martinez saved a penalty kick in the 31st minute to keep The Exiles in the game and McKay scored four minutes later to allow Newport to steal a point on the road. Although the team are far separated in the standings the hosts kept possession about even while creating more opportunities for a score.

F.A Cup - Round 2 (Replay)
Barnsley - Newport County (1-2)
Gordon 25' (Odubajo)
Giles 49' (Thuram)
Williams 58'
Giles 75'
Gordon 75'
Ince 62' (Bruised shoulder, out 5 days)

The Exiles stepped up to the challenge of playing this replay on the road and won this game behind a constant attack (8 shots, 7 on target).

Spoiler

Clark Gordon opens up the scoring for The Exiles.

League Match 23
Newport County - Luton Town (2-2)
P. Miller 38' (Salo)
Vildozo 49' (pen)
Marriott 71'
Potter 85' (Ichigawa)

The Exiles B-squad could only put together enough offense to earn a draw against a familiar foe. Konsta Salo found Patrick Miller on a counter attack to open up the scoring but Luton Town goalkeeper Kevin Piedrahita shut it down for most of the game thereafter, keeping his squad in the game to help them turn around the score. Fortunately for the fans at Rodney Parade, Ben Potter was able to turn the corner against his defender for an unstoppable shot that would net Newport a point.

League Match 24
Newport County - MK Dons (4-0)
Thuram 7' (Ince)
Giles 62'
Dall'Oglio 83' (Salo)
Salo 86' (McKay)

The Exiles blitzed the Dons to avenge their loss at Milton Keynes at the end of last month, attacking without mercy from the get-go and frustrating their opponents to leave them with no shots on target on six attempts. Marccelino knew this was an important game and his team responded with perhaps their best game of the season to date.

F.A Cup - Round 3
Newport County - Nott'm Forest (0-1)
Assombalonga 29'

Forest played suffocating defense for the entirety of the game to conceal The Exiles' offense and walk away with the 1-0 victory in this cup tie. On the other hand, Britt Assombalonga was a force to be reckoned with all game long so it was fitting he'd score the only goal of the game.

Marccelino's Diary: More draws than I would had liked which made the win over the Dons that much more important. On a separate note it was frustrating to be eliminated from the F.A. It's important to note we were eliminated from both the COC and the FA by teams from the Championship, which is the tier of The Football League we're trying to get and we're on track to join this season. This doesn't go unnoticed by me and we need to continue to improve our squad if we're going to succeed and achieving promotion and if we're planning on continuing to have success next season. This upcoming transfer window could be an opportunity to improve our roster if we figure out a way to obtain some funds. At least we've moved on to the Area Final of the JPT which now more than ever is a trophy I'd like to raise.

Towards the end of the month, and with the upcoming transfer window in mind, I decided to promote a number of guys from the academy to give us some flexibility with some decision and to maybe get some of those lads some playing opportunities on loan. Therefore, our academy only has three players left in it:

- Satoshi Kagome (CDM, 48 OVR, 78-84): 17-year old from Japan who is physically strong. Coaches will look to develop him into more than just a defensive stopper.
- Yoshi Ishinomori (CM, 47 OVR, 77-83): The 17-year old from Japan is a commanding physical presence standing at 6'5" and 189lbs and the club will try to develop his skill set to quickly match his physical abilities.
- Eiichi Suzuki (GK, 58 OVR, 76-82): The 16-year old from Japan represents the second keeper signed by the club and will battle with his countryman, Hayato Matsuki, to become the club's main backup goalkeeper.
* Recent addition.

Gregorio Miranda, David Fox, Bondz Laslie, and Juan Pablo were promoted at my own request. Daniel Seager requested promotion and we granted it. The plans is for youth scouts to go in search of more talent once the transfer window closes and we can assess how much of our funds we'll be able to put towards scouting more young talent.

What's next

1/2/18: at Southend United (JPT)
1/5/18: at Walsall
1/8/18: vs Southend United (JPT)
1/13/18: vs Oldham Athletic
1/27/18: at Chesterfield
1/30/18: vs Rotherham Utd

Two games against last seasons' JPT champion as well as four games against teams competing for a playoff spot. Plus, of course, the much discussed transfer window. SPOILER ALERT: one of our top-rated prospects is sold for over twice his value, who will it be?

Stay tuned

'17-'18 Winter Transfer Window Update

Spoiler

It has been a very exciting first half of the season for The Exiles, battling for the top spot in League One since the beginning of the season and currently in a close fight with MK Dons and Southend United for the lead. Through their performances Newport County has confirmed that they have the roster to battle to be the best in the league this season but losses to Championship teams in the Capital One Cup (to QPR) and F.A. Cup (to Nott'm Forest) are a reminder that this roster will need more improvement as it heads for possible promotion to that next level of competition in the Football League. So what moves did Marccelino make in order to improve the squad going forward? Let's check it out.

TRANSFERS

OUT: Konsta Salo (CAM, 72 OVR), sold to En Avant de Guingamp for €8.5 million. Jack McKay (ST, 70 OVR), sold to Bournemouth for €3.8 million. Andrew Hughes (CB, 61 OVR), sold to Crewe Alexandra for €280K. Jean Ambrose (CB, 61 OVR), sold to Doncaster for €275K. Joe Green (GK, 54 OVR), sold to Longford Town for €100K.

IN: (A.K.A. Luan) Luan Garcia Teixeira (CB, 75 OVR), reached pre-contract agreement with the club on a 5-year deal for €35K weekly wages. Thierry Ambrose (ST, 72 OVR), acquired from Manchester City for €2.8 million. Hwang In Beom (CM, 72 OVR), acquired from Daejeon Citizen for €2.9 million.

Transfer window recap

The Exiles were not going to be able to make any acquisitions unless they acquired funds through a sale first. Initially the only offers the team was receiving were for Jack McKay but they weren't being considered seriously by the team, which instead was looking to acquire Jack's twin brother - Paul - from Doncaster. However, MK Dons spiced up the rivalry by beating Newport to Paul McKay's acquisition. Reportedly soon after that the club looked to involve Jack McKay into negotiations with Tenerife to acquire Cristo Gonzalez but the Spanish striker was quickly acquired by Granada. It was around this time that offers for Konsta Salo started to come in. The club anticipated the offers would come for at least one of their talented young players but didn't know who would be targeted.

Bolton Wanderers, Bournemouth, FSV Mainz, and Hamburger SV were initially involved along with EAG in acquiring Salo but only the first two and the eventual acquiring club were willing to negotiate above double of Salo's €4.1 million value. Newport asked for €9 million and subsequent to agreeing to sell for €8.5 million to EAG the club received offers of €8.75 million for the Finnish player from Bolton and Bournemouth but the French club acted quickly in closing the deal with the player. Although Newport only had 75% of the new income available this money represented a significant improvement over the €1 million transfer budget the board provided at the beginning of the season.

Recognizing the availability of Luan the club moved quickly to reach an agreement with the Brazilian central defender who will surely step in as a starter next summer. The offers then continued to come for McKay and after 1) failing to re-unite him with his brother and, 2) having the budget to make a significant acquisition, the club came to peace with the idea of moving on from the English striker to replace him with a more potent option. Once his sale to Bournemouth was finalized the club moved quickly to acquire Thierry Ambrose for a very good prize as pundits were surprised MCFC didn't try to get more for the French striker. With a void at backup CAM The Exiles also sped up negotiations for In Beom, a Korean midfielder Marccelino has been looking into since he first took over as HC. They also looked into Chilean midfielder Gabriel Suazo from Colo Colo but Ipswich Town got involved in the bidding and Marccelino didn't feel the need to get into a war when In Beom was his top choice.

Finally, the club was happy to move on from Andrew Hughes and Jean Ambrose at CB as they look to give their recently promoted CB's from the academy some playing time with the B-squad. On that same note, with the promotion of Hayato Matsuki the club rolled the dice on recalling Joe Green from loan at York City (where he was getting no PT) and successfully sold him during this window, leaving Matsuki and fellow Japanese prospect Eiichi Suzuki (in the academy) as the potential goalkeepers of the future. Reports indicate that Valencia CF made a €2.4 offer for Nicolai Fernandes on deadline day but Marccelino didn't want to rush into a decision he might possible regret regarding the 16-year old from Denmark (69 OVR).

How the new French partnership of Ambrose and Marcus Thuram works up front for The Exiles will undoubtedly be the most intriguing aspect to watch for during the second half of this season for Newport County.

J. Paint Trophy - Area Final, 1st Leg
Southend United - Newport County (0-4)
Binnom-Williams 5' (B. Moore)
Thuram 20' (Odubajo)
Thuram 37'
McKay 90+' (Thuram)

The Exiles all but booked their spot in the JPT final after throbbing Southend ON THE ROAD to the sound of four goals. Marcus Thuram wsa in the middle of it all, helping Newport get a two-goal lead inside 20 minutes then stealing a ball at the top of the opponent's box in the 37th minute to all but seal this win for the visitors. Then, to put the final dagger on Southend, he assisted McKay to give Marccelino's squad an almost unfair advantage going into the second leg of these semi-finals.

League Match 25
Walsall - Newport County (0-1)
Gordon 67' (Odubajo)

Initially, with just two days of rest following leg one of the JPT semis, Marccelino was going to play the B-squad in this game but after creating such a comfortable margin against Southend he decided to play his regulars in this game. It paid off as Odubajo and Gordon hooked up in the 67th minute for what would be the only goal of the game in a match-up that only featured two shots on target (both by Newport).

J. Paint Trophy - Area Final, 2nd Leg
Newport County - Southend United (2-2, 6-2 agg)
Payne 24'
Payne 33'
Seager 45+' (P. Miller)
Potter 90+' (Çelik)
Seager 6'

Marccelino played a mix of his B and C squads in this game, taking advantage of the four goal lead to give some of the players recently promoted from the academy a look on the pitch. It was scary during the first 45 minutes of the game but the reserves scored at the end of each half and The Exiles were able to maintain their four goal lead to advance to the finals of the JPT.

Spoiler

Daniel Seager scores his first goal as a professional.

League Match 26
Newport County - Oldham Athletic (1-1)
Bove 48'
Gordon 58' (Binnom-Williams)

This was pretty much an evenly matched game although The Exiles created a couple more scoring opportunities than the visitors but in the end they had to settle for a draw.

League Match 27
Chesterfield - Newport County (2-5)
Ebans-Blake 9'
Ambrose 13' (Odubajo)
Ambrose 34' (Gordon)
Thuram 45' (Ince)
Cansdell-Sherriff 45+'
Thuram 51' (Giles)
Ambrose 70' (Thuram)

Thierry Ambrose scored a hat-trick in his Newport debut and his outstanding chemistry with Thuram right of the bat led The Exiles to a comfortable win at Chesterfield. There was simply nothing stopping the French striker-duo once they got going and they even linked up to score the final goal of the game. If Ambrose is going to take this team to that kind of level, the league title might be a wrap pretty soon.


Ambrose had a dream debut with his new club.

League Match 28
Newport County - Sheffield Utd (1-1)
Gordon 36'
Adams 90+'

Ambrose was unable to follow his scorching debut in a good way, missing a penalty kick in the 10th minute that proved costly as The Exiles were only able to get a draw against a feisty Sheffield Utd. Luckily for Newport a free kick by Clark Gordon in the 36th minute deflected off a Sebastián Driussi at the wall

Marccelino's Diary: SCORED our way into the JPT Final and finally leaped the Dons for the lead in the standings, therefore it was a good month. Ambrose's arrival and his grand debut definitely put a smile on my face too, he should be one of the best strikers in the Championship next season and he has BPL-caliber potential so I foresee him sticking around for a while. The JPT Final won't be until early April so we need to take advantage of this next couple of months with nothing but league games. Notts County will be a difficult opponent for us when the final does come as we've never been able to comfortably beat them whether the game has been played in League Two, League One, or cup play.

We haven't made any additions to the academy as our scouts have just been sent out on assignments to Italy, Belgium, and Netherlands. Our youth squad remains as follows:

- Satoshi Kagome (CDM, 49 OVR, 78-84): 17-year old from Japan who is physically strong. Coaches will look to develop him into more than just a defensive stopper.
- Yoshi Ishinomori (CM, 48 OVR, 77-83): The 17-year old from Japan is a commanding physical presence standing at 6'5" and 189lbs and the club will try to develop his skill set to quickly match his physical abilities.
- Eiichi Suzuki (GK, 60 OVR, 76-82): The 16-year old from Japan represents the second keeper signed by the club and will battle with his countryman, Hayato Matsuki, to become the club's main backup goalkeeper.

I believe that is all for this update. Just two more will come for this season: FEB/MAR and the End of the Season one. Stay tuned!

Two big players for us this season, celebrating the lead.


One way to sum up this season.

My thoughts

DRUMROLL! - The season has ended, and what a season it has been! Now, how did we finish? Did we make European football? If so, which one? Am I going to be fired? What is going on??!

Well.... We finished...

Spoiler

Yes, FORTH! A fantastic ending to a season, as we held on even though these last two months were really tricky and very difficult for us.
This means that we shall have European football next season, and obviously, hoping to keep our core players and make some noice in Champions League!

Final games - The top 5 was completely open going into the Stoke game. Arsenal had to beat Watford to still be in the chance, and we had to beat Stoke to secure top 4. However, everything went the other way. We tied the game, hoping that City would not go past us.

And they didn't! They actually lost against, and this is through, Middlesbrough! 2-1!

Arsenal bottled the league, losing against Watford, and Spurs also lost, meaning that Chelsea secured the title before our game.

I wanted to actually make a Final day post seperately, but because everything got decided the game before, I decided not to. While we played Chelsea, Arsenal went up against Spurs on the last day. Would have been quite the decider!

And that is a wrap! - Season over, I mean, it has been a season to remember and really to build upon. I hope you really enjoyed it. I have big plans for next season and going to switch the posts up a bit.

NOTE! - The TOTS was picked by FIFA. I don't agree with it, some players fit in there perfectly (Willian, Clyne, Williams), but some don't at all. I will make my own next season!

(And apperently, I have to change the size of the pictures. They were fine when I displayed them in the preview, but now it just looks bad. )

The TOTS cards are a really nice touch!

Cruzerr: Terrific ending to the season! Barkley and Lukaku showed how important they were for you but Big Rom especially. Karius also did really well. Looking forward to seeing Champions League football at Goodison next season! Those cards were nicely done, how did you do them?

Rabbit: Ambrose arrived in style and is already connecting with Thuram which is great! You've manged to get ahead of MK Dons in the league while simultaneously reaching the J. Paint Trophy so good going. Can you finish with a domestic double?

Hi guys... for some reason, OS is not working properly for me... I cannot like or even multi-quote anyone's posts and whenever I try to post something, I cannot use any of the formatting choices like changing font/font size or even adding a picture....

Hmm, I just tried there, and I can't do anything either. Very strange.

It's my Mozilla Firefox adblockers that are causing the problem...
