Asunto: The "give your team the hairdryer treatm

yeah.... basically the purpose of this thread is to give you a place to rant about your team and how unfair it is :(

well, to start it off, i get an average passing rating for the first time ever (which is a good thing) without starting my first XI central mids (they came on on half time). mind boggling, isnt it?

seems like i need better defensive tactics, with my relatively open back four threatening to give me multiple heart attacks. thinking of a more rigid, closely-knit back four, and switching my better defs to the center.... what do you guys think?

also, i think i need better strikers. had a golden chance to equalise in the last game but he proceeds to hit it just wide (tbf it was pretty much the only shot he got but well....). thinking of moving one of my multi talented defs to the front, also looking at a change of tactics up front.

and, my midfield. tbh, most of them were either trainees, slightly injured or on low form. but also looking to shake things up a bit in this department.

and my goalkeepers seriously need more form :X
well, will be testing out the new tactic in this week's friendly so hopefully everything goes well.

also seeing that their defs stopped almost every attempt at an offensive, my team needs a LOT of pace and tech. sorely missing "dances past defenders" macallister (weeener will remember him well ;) musta gave him 3 consecutive heart attacks).

i blame bad luck and lousy form on this loss. losing 3 mids in 2 games is painful.

I thought that's what the frustrating thread was for :s. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

lol.... i was under the impression that the frustrating thread was for player injuries.... :S

well, if you think this is the wrong place, please move it. thanks :)

to... Sokker International?

Well... hit the post twice, and one of my strikers shot across the face of goal when he rounded the keeper...

Looks like this season will be a hard struggle to stay in II.01, going at this rate. I'm bottom of the ladder, with 1 point after 4 games...

Well I can't actually move it to any better location, at worst all I can do is close it and tell people to use the other thread, but yeah I'll leave it as it is now but in the future it would be nice if similar type topics used the same thread :).

im annoyed at this:....i set my strikers to come back to midfield on certain occasions to fetch the ball...a striker gains possession at an earlier 'point' on the field and proceeds to run towards goal... as soon as he reaches the spot wher he would have had to come and get the ball he shoots!!! its like 40 meters away and my strikers are not good enough to score from there but iit keeps happening...it works ok when they fetch the ball and turn and run but when they are running from an earlier position they always shoot!

gargh! im also annoyed that two players had their settings swapped for the two games and only will get training for the friendly 90mins and 20mins pfft

well 2 of those occurred because the keeper was out of position and they instinctively try to exploit it.

The other times it occurred were because they were swamped by opposition players and I'm guessing rather than be tackled they tried the long range shot as a last resort, that would be my guess.

hmmm i was pretty surprised at the scoreline given how bad the statistics were for my team (weak in everything). managed to take the lead, come back a goal down, and take the lead again. unfortunately, we conceded a goal and went to extra time, where our lac of stamina showed. held on til the 118th minute, then heartbreak :(

reminds me of the FA Cup final :(

Would you know if the positioning of the striker relative to the ball is similar to how midfielders work?

Ie, mids tend to pass when ball is in front of their position (in tactics) and run/keep possession when the ball is behind them.

Is that the same kind of thing for strikers? (shoot or run)

I wouldn't honestly know. I do think they seem to run more often if you have them too deep inside the box though, although thats just speculation by myself.

I do think though when they see the keeper off the line they tend to shoot from distance more often, but as for positioning I'm not too sure.

somehow, i managed to beat the team at the top of the table 9-0. *foams at mouth* the home fans must be delirious. *needs funds to upgrade stadium again since its selling out again* i think im gonna watch the match now....

EDIT: watched the match. was absolutely thrilling. if it wasnt for the post and some bad decisions, i reckon we couldve gone to double digits :D
besides, how many people get a goal in the 90th minute from a header swung in from a corner off the crossbar? not to mention it was the 9th goal of the match and the 7th goal for the bloke :D

You %¤#% %¤%¤" 5%¤%543!!!

Getting sent of before one minute is gone?! How dumb is it possible to get?!

And that %¤#% %¤#% that %¤%¤# &%¤#¤!

did this help? no.

lol :p

...besides, how many people get a goal in the 90th minute...

Unforunately...was winning for most of the game until they counter-attacked and scored...in the 90th minute...to draw...

wtf !!! such a **** game! omg my strikers were one on one like 7 times and didnt even hit the goal!!! and the goal they scored was a fluky freee kick on the 87th minute seriously!! BAH!!!
