mattshez Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Im really struggling at united Im finding it alot tougher than other years brought in veloso santon and marcelo, veloso is on fire and santon is a solid choice for me with ronaldo out. ive just got out of the bottom 3 after 7 games only have 5 points and struggling to score goals and losing to temas like hull and tottenham its a very very tricky situation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianno Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I have chelsea. I think the starting games are harder than before, which is very common for a new manager. Almost no team with a new manager is on the top form at the beginning of the season. After 8 games, I am 3rd. 3 behind arsenal and united. I love the new arrows system. Things are more realistic now.

I did quite well with Man U just by listening to what he is saying. Also instead of buying in extra wingers I played either Giggs or Rooney on the left and played Nani on the right, Rooney did reasonably well there, and Nani did well on the right.

leon103 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I am struggling at United. Can't find a tactic that works and suits the team. Not scoring enough goals and Rio is having a shocking time since Chelsea declared interest in him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bRAzIL Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 yeah i noticed him, looked funny as hell. how is he? Pretty poor actually. He struggles with the tempo I play and doesn't like closing down. He's called Hulk though - how cool is that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM06Matt Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 The secret too me is reading the scout report card before the match i did this againt Villa when i was Blackburn he asked me too use fast defenders and fast strikers so i did so i dominated the game if it wasnt for shabby finishing id off probably won also another things is reading the assistant managers feedback it helps alot i feel its made the game more realistic so if you do loose games you feel you should win then its down too yourself and what you did too try and crack the other teams tactics...

Mr.S!N Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Only predicted 12th with QPR, now I'm just behind Reading leading into November. I can just about stand playing because of the condition going below 50% every game on players who are above 90% to begin with and are supposedly 'Match Fit'. But I've bought the phenom that is Kevin Doyle, and he's banging them in. Standard 4-4-2 for me at the moment, but do swap between that and 4-4-1-1 when condition 'bug' comes in.

Nonlondoner Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Very impressed with the game thus far. I've only had two friendlies with the Gunners and, true to real life, they've been frustratingly wasteful in front of goal and the defence has an air of the Keystone Cops about it. Just brought in Yaya Toure to add a better dimension to the midfield and will be training up Diaby to be more defence-minded. Oh, and bought Arteta in to give more options in attack. Just dreading those tricky games against those Premier League powerhouses Hull, Sunderland, Tottenham, Stoke and Fulham. There's a few gremlins that I'm sure SI will iron-out. It's inevitable enough that we'll concede when high ball is played into the area with the flashing 'Goal' commentary announcing the fact two minutes before it's happened. And I'm sure that I'm not the only one that has a 20 second wait between clicking on 'Go to match' and the kick-off happening. I'll give it 8.5 out of 10 so far.

hufton Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 First I started as Blackburn and everything went well. By the end of the demo I had my team playing well, had knocked out United in the 3rd round of the FA Cup which made up for the disappointment of a 4th round exit to City in the Carling Cup, and we were sitting pretty in 7th place in the league. However, I'm afraid that this experience made me a little over-confident. I headed for the depths of the Blue Square South to take charge of Wimbledon. That started badly as my keeper was injured for the opening friendly and having let my ass man pick the team I ended up with a striker in net and lost 6-1. By the time the league season began I was so demoralised that I saved it and went to bed. I'll try to turn that around later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
