Jeremy Menez – Was injured for the beginning of the season, but he never really fitted into the team on his return.Alex – Wasn’t getting enough football, too old, wages too high, off too Leicester.I’ll run through the senior players that I’ve let go in since the summer. We made a further five signings, but the outward column is where most things happened. This is where the real stories have come so far, leading me to write this update. This all leaves us second in the league at the end of January. The Inter game was especially disappointing as we had led 2-0, and Jovetic scored twice for them after having not scored all season.įortunately, excluding Bologna, we have improved since the winter break, and the goals seem to be flying in again (13 in our last 4 matches). This started our worst run so far, where we failed to win in 5 matches.

This time I don’t think it was particularly tactical, they simply took their chances when we didn’t. have provided us with a number of clean sheets.Īnd then we met Roma. Suddenly the goals seemed to dry up, but the results kept on coming as we stayed tight at the back.

We deserved to lose, and it has given me food for thought for our next encounter. Their narrow 4-3-1-2 flooded the centre of the pitch against my 4-4-1-1 that had provided a 4-0 win at Lazio. A 3-0 loss reflects the fact that I got my tactics wrong. The goals were flying in, the tactic had finally settled, and key players were performing.Īnd then we met Juventus. However, we made an absolutely blistering start in the league, leaving us top.

Not sure how or why we lost it, I just thought it was going to be another failure for me on FM16. We went out of the cup in the first round to Serie B opponents. Plenty of green dots which is nice to see. The update comes in January because of some big, unforeseen, changes to the squad.įirst, lets look at how the team has done in the first half of my year in charge of the Italian giants. In my opening post on this save I said there’d be either an update in January, or at the end of the year.
