Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***
After 21 days off since my loss to United I traveled to Turf Moor.
Am sign of rust was quickly shaken off when Pavluycheno scored 57 seconds in. He scored a second at 13'. Apparently the change to putting Pavy at Target Man, Support, Hold Ball up paid off.
This match looked in the bag until Alan Hutton got sent off on a straight RC for a challenge on Caldwell. Burnley then scored before the stroke of halftime to make it 2-1.
Pavy came out in the 2nd half & got his hattrick at the 60' mark, then Woodgate (in his first action of the season) scored on a header from a corner (my first corner goal all year also). Burnley had a player sent off on a straight Red with 20' to play.
The final ended up being 4-1, I dominated Burnley despite being a man down for nearly an hour. Pavyluchenko had a great match, and Gomes made the key stops when necessary.
After another United win I'm still sitting in 2nd on 20 points through 9 matches (on pace to finish with approximately 84 points!), United has 25 (on pace for whopping 105 points.....they can't keep that pace up can they?). chelsea & arsenal are slowly climbing the table, looking to join City & l'pool in a fight for 3rd & 4th place.
