Liverpool March Results

Hello fellow FM gamers, it's time for an udpate on my Liverpool story! The biggest match of March was the game against Barcelona, we also had a trip to arch rivals Everton. I appreciate that most of you may have already read this post at http://www.footballmanagerstory.com/ , so I won't go into huge detail about this month.  

Here are the results for March at a glance.

The Everton game was won by two fantastic goals from 18 year old Giovani La Rosa, he was playing due to a series of injuries to the main strikers.

The match against Sheff Utd was disappionting, we battered them all game but, after they scored an early goal, we couldn't break them down. It took a wonder goal from Steven Gerrard to get us a replay, his goal came just five minutes from time.

In the Sheffield United game I rested quite a few players ahead of the Barcelona match. It was a pretty poor game to be honest, we managed to nick a goal just on half time when Torres' pace enabled him to beat Valdes to the ball, after doing that he poked the ball in.Barcelona were the better team after the break but the defence stood firm and we managed to hold on, we are through to the Quarter Finals! It later emerged that we will face Genoa, the current champions of Italy. They have some good players so we will have to be careful, but I'm confident we can progress.

After the Barca game we faced Blackburn away, we looked very good going forward, but for some reason the defence looked very shaky. Torres scored two good goals and Andre Pierre Gignac got one, but just as I thought the points were in the bag we conceded and ended up drawing.

Next up was the FA Cup Replay against Sheff Utd. Again we looked poor at the back, luckily we are very good at attacking. It still took us until extra time to secure the winning goal, Nicolas Otamendi stabbed in from a corner. This followed goals from Darijo Srna and Gignac and two equalisers from them. The result means that we are through to the semi final, we will face Aston Villa there.

The final game of the month was back in the Premier League, we faced Tottenham. We were on top most of the match, and we got a comfortable win thanks to an early goal from Torres and a late one from Wilshere secured another three points for us.

After that pretty good month we are now 6 points ahead of Man City with a game in hand. I am sure the title will once again be ours, the test is to try and progress in the other competitions.

Next month sees us play a very tough nine matches. The squad will be tested by the busy schedule, I hope they can cope and that we don't get too many injuries. The biggest games are obvisouly the matches against Genoa, it will be interesting to see how the players cope with the 'favourites' tag, something we didn't have in

the last round against Barca.

That's all for now then, thanks for reading, I hope you will continue to follow my career with the Reds.
