DECEMBER 2017

The month started with our relocation to the new stadium.

We had a good month despite losing against West Ham. We had already secured passage into the champions' league knockout rounds and were still top of the league table.

BPL Week 13

Burnley 7-0 Charlton

What a way to open a new stadium!!! We weren't in top form heading into this game but we woke up and rattled them with Patrick Roberts bagging a hat-trick.

BPL Week 15

View attachment 292885

Burnley 4-0 Hull

I wasn't that optimistic heading into this game because Hull were over-achieving, being placed 5th in the table before the game. But we remained calm and did our job well. I've been impressed with Patrick Roberts over the past few weeks as he's been in good form.

Burnley 8-0 FC Red Bull Salzburg

Having won the first game 11-0, I was pretty confident heading into this game. We coasted through their defence at will and it should have been more than 8. For the 2nd time this season, my player scored 5 in one game.

BPL Matchday 16

View attachment 292927

West Ham 3-1 Burnley

It was one of those games. West Ham were in top-form heading into the game and they were at home. We dominated the first 20 minutes of the game and scored only for them to reply almost immediately thanks to some poor defending from Pinga. I took him off after the 2nd goal, which was also his fault.

I was keen for us to appease the fans for last game's awful performance and we more than appeased them even though we should have kept a clean-sheet.

It was a close shave for us as we found ourselves 2-1 down at HT. Danny Ings helped change the game by providing 2 assists and the 4th goal to secure the 3 points.

QPR 2-4 Burnley

Bilbao was the savior of the day. I was scared when they equalized cos I thought it would end up like our previous game when we had to come from behind. But it was confident performance from the boys for the 3 points. Vlaar had an awful game and I might be moving him on come January

Overall, we had a good month bar the defeat away to West Ham. I'm looking to replace Vlaar this transfer window as he's been awful lately.

January 2018 Fixtures

Liverpool (A) BPL
Cardiff (H) FA cup 3rd round
Tottenham (A) BPL
West Brom (H) BPL
Cardiff (H) BPL
Liverpool (A) Capital One cup semi 1st leg
Liverpool (H) Capital One cup semi 2nd leg


In a month when I'll get to play Liverpool 3 times, i'll need my best players fit at all times and avoid any injuries. It should be a routine victory for us in the other games bar Tottenham even though I've not lost to them in the previous 7 games between us.


Transfers

There will be no major signings except if I sell Kagawa and Vlaar. I also need a player in the Rooney mould, an experienced F9 to help Robert so I don't wear him out and Lavezzi is also injured.

Hey guys. I'm so sorry I haven't posted since. I just resumed school and it's gonna be difficult for me so I'm just gonna try and see if I could post the remainder of the season before the end of this weekend. Hopefully I can.
 
JANUARY 2018

We were on top form in January as we swept aside every opponent we faced. I still think we can achieve our main goal this season (champions' league) if we continue with this form. We gave Real Madrid a game last season and we are even better than we were last season.

BPL Matchday 20

Liverpool 0-4 Burnley

I wasn't expecting anything less. We have previously ran riot at Anfield so it wasn't a surprise. Odegaard gave them some things to think about.

Again, we were top-class. I couldn't believe how far I had brought this team. I didn't believe it was Burnley as we played some beautiful football. I can't wait to see how far we can go in the champions' league.

Bilbao had a bad game but I didn't worry as he had single-handedly carried my team since the new year. Roberts came on and scored a wonderful goal to ease the 2nd leg for us. We did well but not up to the standards we had set for ourselves.
