Wee Aja Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Second season with Atletico Madrid. 12th league game. We've won 11 in a row and then face Real Madrid. The end result is a 2-2 draw that, let's be honest, I'm very happy about because we're away from home. Even though they scored a last-gasp deflected equaliser The thing is, one of my key players (Luis Garcia) had a match rating of 5 at the end. His previous form was 8,8,9. The rest of the team performed very well 7's 8's and a couple of 9's. For some reason the fans are "Disappointed" by the draw :confused: How should I handle Garcia's poor performance? I normally warn or fine in this instance but we're flying and I don't want to rock the boat. Issue a Warning, Fine 1 week wages, Fine 2 week wages, Nothing - A draw was a good result?

Issue a warning, he's got to understand that poor performances will not be tolerated especially against your biggest rivals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisQ Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Nothing. Everyone's entitled to an off-day, particularly if they've been performing well. Fine would be excessive, warn him and you could have a permanently unsettled player on your hands and be shipping him out in the window. If he doesn't buck his ideas up in the next game by all means give him a rocket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Although only a couple of people voted, the general consensus is to go with the popular vote. And that is to just leave him on this occasion. Will do. Thanks. *Because I'm itching to get back to it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren_D Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Nothing. Well not in that sense anyway. I tend to drop anyone on a 5, or 6 if I've got adequate cover, for the next match. A spell on the sidelines might make you feel better about the poor performance. I doubt I'd be able to stop myself from issuing a warning for a 4, though.

PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I said give a warning. But you can leave it! Just don't complain if you get some players "sit" Worried by/Thinks there is a lack of managerial discipline! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Issue a warning, you can't be seen to be weak and if he plays that badly in a derby he deserves everything he gets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzález Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Warnings should only be used (IMO) for continued poor form. One bad game, be it a 3, 4, or 5, is fine, as long as it's not repeated in the next game too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Well, I just left if. Just played the next game there which was match day 3 of the Champions League. AWAY to Liverpool. Luis Garcia scored both goals in another 2-2 draw, including a last-minute 25-yard screamer. Rated 9 for that match. I guess I was right to leave it.

Ozzy38 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 If I was playing for someone who had a go at me, let alone FINE me, if I have 1 poor game after being one of the star players in the last 3, I'd be peeved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyboyz Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 You need to analyse the reason for his poor rating..... Did R.Madrid see Garcia as a major threat and play him out of the game, which he can't be blamed for? Does he have a low Big Game Hidden stat? Did he just play like a sack of spuds?, which is his fault and a warning might be needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
