CM Mariano Arini, 65 Ovr, 28 years old, Italy

It was a short month with only 2 matches, but a successful August nonetheless as U.S. Avellino 1912 advanced to Round 3 of the TIM Cup and also won their Serie B opener. Both victories came by 1-0 margins, and earning the honor of Player of the Month is midfielder Mariano Arini who scored the decisive goal in an away triumph for the Wolves at Bari.

Manager's Thoughts
Two wins and advancing in the TIM Cup are positives, but I felt we were really outplayed against Bari and tremendously lucky to get the 1-0 result. There were too many turnovers of possession and other mental lapses, which is disappointing because we performed very well against Pescara. One of the few bright spots from the Bari match (besides the 3 points) was that we were excellent defending corner kicks. The problem was, they had at least 6 or 7 of them, which obviously is way too many. I don't know if we can gain promotion this year, but I'm definitely looking for a more consistent level of play from our guys.

September 2015 - Fixtures
9/1 - vs Virtus Lanciano
9/5 - at Pescara
9/12 - vs Como
9/19 - at Trapani
9/22 - vs Ascoli
9/26 - at Salernitana

It will be a busy September with 6 league matches. Honestly, it's too early to tell who are the legit contenders in Serie B. We know Pescara is a solid side having played them in the TIM Cup, but the rest of the slate is a toss-up at this point. I'm just hoping to take as many points as possible, with the idea that we need to be in the Top 3 range.

Amkar Player of the Month

RM Georgi Peev, 63 Ovr, 36 years old, Bulgaria

In a sterling month of December for Amkar Perm that saw the club jump into a European spot, club legend Georgi Peev played out of his mind in leading the Red and Blacks to 3 victories. Peev scored the only goal of the match in a 1-0 win over Lokomotiv Moscow while also earning Man of the Match honors. The Bulgarian then notched a brace and another MOTM performance in a 4-1 triumph over Kuban Krasnodar before ending the calendar year with the game-winning goal as Amkar prevailed 3-0 over Spartak Moscow. Despite being 36 years of age, Peev has unquestionably been the strongest performer all season for manager Konstantin Zyryanov's side.

Manager's Thoughts
We have finally hit peak form, and it has pushed us into 5th place in the RFPL table, which is a Europa League position. I don't know how long we can continue to play like this, but in addition to the 9 points in December, we also grabbed crucial victories over clubs fighting for the same league standings as us. Georgi Peev was brilliant and seems to have found the fountain of youth. Evgeniy Pomazan has been very good in goal, and the secondary scoring from players like Fegor Ogude and Alexandr Salugin has been very vital to our success.

January 2016 - Fixtures
1/30 - vs Krylya

The Russian winter break leaves us with only 1 match in January, a clash against lowly Krylya Sovetov Samara. With our current form, we should definitely expect a victory, though we can't forget a 2-0 loss to Krylya on Match Day 1. We will also look to strengthen our side in the transfer window as a European finish is now a real possibility.

I hadn't been able to watch any of your videos for this CM so far so I decided to take some time to catch up since you videos aren't that long.

1st video: liked the team choice, right away I recognize Alnwick because he had a very good season for that club in my Newport CM in the season I just wrapped up in League 1. The other name that stands out to me is Samuelsen, the loanee from West Ham, because he actually repeatedly caught my eye IRL when Peterborough faced against West Brom in the F.A. Cup this past season. Hell of a start to pre-season.

2nd video: There was a very sweet through pass at 4:50 that got my attention. The subsequent shot went wide but the pass gets my seal of approval. I'm glad Alnwick is performing for you the way I expect him to but then I noticed Samuelsen wasn't even on your bench for the season opener and I wonder what his status is? Congrats on starting the season with a W.

3rd video: There's Samuelsen starting at CAM! But it doesn't seem like he had a good game vs Birmingham and you lost that game

Great reaction from your guys to score a goal at the end of the first half vs Oldham right after getting down 0-2 but too bad you couldn't complete the comeback. Looks like Samuelsen had a bit of a better game but can't blame you for trying someone else at CAM after 2 losses. ARE YOU KIDDING ME with that save Alnwick pulls off at 5:52? WOW. And Samuelsen comes in to score off the bench!!! lol. And then you tried him as a striker in the following game but he couldn't come through for you, shame. Solid start to the season man.

Wanted to make sure that I thanked you guys for watching and responded to all of your thoughts! Will have the replies to your careers tomorrow before my next post!

Moose - That midfield you've got is scary! Speaking of scary, it's unbelievable that Lacazette missed that sitter against Southampton! As Keano pointed out, it's good to see that Roberto (who might just be your lover :P ) is already making an impact with that 'lovely head of hair'. Well-deserved win against Watford, too. Out of the players at the end I'd go for Rondon because he isn't that popular on the game and it'd be fun to see how he does for you. As some YT comments suggested, bringing Carlos Tevez back would also be amazing!

Haha, hey I can certainly appreciate a luscious head of hair like my own! He's a classy player as well, so really doing the job. I see a lot of you guys have some love for Rondon so I'll keep that in mind!

Thanks Josh I really appreciate that! Looking forward to reading your updates as well.

Originally posted by Cruzerr

Moose, that 4-4-2 seems to be working for you, sigh. I don't even know where you could put Payet with that formation, I have no idea how Antonio played against Watford, since I didn't see him at all basically.

As for strikers, go really young imo (Solanke, Rashford) or a bit older, is Vardy still decent?

It's tough, I will say the nice thing is I think that we have so much quality all over the pitch that we can play 4-4-2 diamond and let Payet be the real star, or we can go 4-4-2 flat and the wingers can add some width to our play.

The real thing that I want to try is maybe the 4-2-2-2 with Payet one side playing a bit more narrow, and then the likes of Tello or another winger on the other side who can add some width, so that could be an option?

Originally posted by Keano16

I haven't been able to keep up with all your videos but watched this one and saw you got Pjanic and Roberto! Two class midfielders that are bringing your team to the next level. Sure the prices were a bit hefty but I'm confident they'll repay every penny and Sergi "fine head of hair" Roberto is already on his way to doing that. You dominated your two opening games but my God, Lacazette's finishing was awful. Dybala showed him how to do it and the gave a great cross to Roberto so he could use his "great head of hair" and score. Great to see Masana get his first goal for the club.

Imo I'd go for Rondon as your backup, he's a proper beast up front and has Prem experience which is invaluable. Slightly older too which is also nice considering Lacazette and Dybala are still young.

Yeah, it's definitely shocking that Lacazette hasn't finished, he better find his shooting boots if he doesn't want a new striker to come in and knock him to the bench. It's like he's still on holiday after his last season! Fair points on why to bring in Rondon!

Originally posted by Aquaman_OS

I agree Roberto and Pjanic will be great for West Ham!, How do you feel Brooks is doing down back Moose?...

Brooks has been fantastic, he's so well rounded that he makes a few of our other center backs fairly expendable because we seem to have a ton of depth there and some young boys that need some match time!

HE'S STAYING, I SWEAR TO YOU HE IS GOING NOWHERE.

For real though I'm a minor bit worried that the likes of PSG or Madrid will make him their flavor of the month for 60million quid just because the can, but I don't think there's any way he leaves for anything less. My ideal scenario (and this is West Ham bias thinking) is that if he plays this well then with Europe looming for us he may actually attract quality players who were on the fence about coming to West Ham. I'M DELUDED.

vrabbit - Thanks heaps for watching and taking the time to write that feedback, I try to keep my vids to 10 - 12 minutes so it's not too demanding on the viewer and can maybe watch it on a break at work or something!.
Yeh I have always had a soft spot for Peterborough, I follow Everton in the Premier League but the Posh are my lower league team...I think everyone has a soft spot for a lower tier side!. Congrats on the promotion what a story Ambrose has become in your CM!....My scouts have him short listed!

Samuelsen is such a strange player looking at his stats, He is listed as a right mid, but has no pace, just really really good ball control, and he scored a brilliant goal IRL for Peterborough in a League game, I couldn't play him in the first game because our star CAM Marcus Madison returned from injury but subsequently got re-injured, So I tried Samuelsen back at CAM, He scored that goal playing as a striker, as I said his finishing stats are poor but his dribbling stats open up a lot of options...I like him at striker, as Coulibaly hasn't been in great form and I think i might run with Samuelsen as striker.... Alnwick consistently plays above his rating and manages too always get a glove to tough shots!!.

Thanks heaps for watching, and look forward to a Newport update!
