tom_numbers Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Is this poor defending? Poor communication? What exactly was going through Ferdinand's mind when he decided to suddenly stop moving, and allow Bendtner to charge through? I was OK with the fact that Arsenal equalised in the FA Cup final via an own goal. Mistakes happen, I thought. But this... This is just... Words are literally beyond me. [video=youtube;sWHIzWhp01c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWHIzWhp01c Can anyone give a reasonable explanation as to what happened there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan99 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Poor communication. Ferdinand thought Vidic was going for it, and vice versa. However unlikely it is that they would make such a big mistake in a final, it can happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 It does look like a communication error. Almost like Ferdinand expects the other player to clear up and the other player expects Ferdinand to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I think Ferdinand was thinking of a way to Merk the striker, came up with a dousy, then laughed to himself, slowing him down and the other team scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However unlikely it is that they would make such a big mistake in a final, it can happen. Happened to me in a CL semi-final on FM10. My previously unflappable centre half pairing watched as Juve's striker ran straight between the pair of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
postal postie Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 this problem happens alot. I see one of my players rushing over to the ball and then they decide to slow down like their stuck in mud. It seems to happen when there is only one player going for the ball as well, so i cant see that being a communication issue. Myabe its just a match representation problem.

Should probably have watched the video shouldn't I... haha. Yeah it's a question of the representation rather than the actual player slowing down - the game likely calculates which will get there first, not how fast each player will take each individual step towards it. The ME messes up a little then corrects itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackemforever Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 What probably happened was that the game had calculated the Bendtner would reach the ball first but when it wasn't displayed as well as it should have been, the game had Ferdinand moving too quickly and so he was they slowed right down to allow Bendtner to reach the ball first as the game had calculated he should have.

robertodibaggio Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 What were they thinking? Why weren't they communicating? They weren't thinking, or communicating as it is a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game calculated that Bendter would get there first its just the ME didnt represent this properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Forever Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 i agree with the others, it's a communication error, rio thought vidic was going to get it, if vidic wasn't there then rio woulnd't of stopped Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaCeR Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I´m pretty sure it´s a ME issue like some people have already pointed out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityAndColour Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well if he's gotten to the ball first, Bendtner likely would have dispossessed him and scored anyway, based on the FM11 match engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
