No great surprise, still a long way off the top teams in Hemsoft.  Always come out on the wrong side in the bigger games.

I was hugely surprised to beat you at your place as I expected to lose that one however I did notice you played some, or even too many, of the important players away from their first preferred positions. I find it helps if your tactically important players are playing in their first preferred position. Just my thoughts.

Disappointing scoreline at Plymouth but then always gonna be difficult away at the big teams.  Nothing to play for really so in danger of players thinking they are on the beach second half.

More importantly Nantes are holding their own after a tough semi final midweek, they can't afford to lose, especially with Monaco winning.

Hoping for better news in the transfer market once again....

Thanks mate, interesting thoughts.  Always appreciate any info top managers are willing to share.  Will certainly look into it.

Not a bad half for City?

Was a risk letting Kaka go at such a vital time, but couldn't turn down the opportunity of signing Silva, hopefully will turn out to be a good move in terms of the title race...
