Sussex Hammer Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 My Hammers are 2-0 down away to top of the table Chelsea who after 23 games have only conceded 8 League goals all season so it doesn't look good. I go for broke push forward and incredibly I get back to 2-2. I look at the clock and it's 88 minutes gone. What do I do, revert back to normal or keep attacking? I keep going and have a perfect chance of a one on one but dear old Carlton Cole seems to trip over his own feet!! The players do their Star Trek transporter bit and vanish only to reappear at a Chelsea corner. Corner comes in and Tomkins headers it out a good way. As it rolls to 35 odd yards out Piquionne seems to be doing up his laces and doesn't move as Chelsea's,, ahem,,, long shot specialist Boswinga with a long shot stat of 11 runs on to the ball and leathers it straight into the top corner to give Chelsea a 3-2 win. It certainly hurt considering only two weeks previously I had been one up at Everton only to have two last ten minute long range efforts from those power houses of banana kicks Jack Rodwell (11 long range stat) and Leon Osman (14) pushing Everton to 3 points............ As I said I wouldn't have minded so much if it had been Lampard !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jord @S Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Unlucky, but these things do happen in football occasionally. Nobody would have expected Glen Johnson to score that wonder goal on his left foot, but I feel your pain, happens to me sometimes and its always worse when it's a player who's not a long shot 'specialist' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankylars Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Tough, that is a bummer. On the bright side, whatever you did to fight back from 2-0 down is promising. Get your players to start the match that way! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva Elite Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Heart Breaking stuff. Worst one for me was when Anderson done the same. he has 5 Long Shots. And he scored it on his weaker right foot even though he has the PPM, rarely uses right foot. Knocked me out the FA Cup too. Scandalous it was.

Ibrahimagic Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I got the Anderson long shot in the World Cup final once. An absolute death blow it was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pb1uk Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Very harsh, but you find that sometimes long range speculative efforts can fly in the top corner from unexpected sources Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thengil Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Erik Edman hasn't ever scored anything like it, before or afterwards. Sometimes players do shocking stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord @S Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Sometimes players do shocking stuff As a Luton fan I can say Keith Keane is probably one of our worst 'finishers' or just bad at shooting yet I'm seen him score from 25/30 yards out and even more crazy, directly from a corner to win a game in the 96th minute!

fergalb Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 do you have to watch the match or can you skip it? Can you manage any international team you want at the start of the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssestig Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 If there are enough players with that nationality in the save you can Fergal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
