Atletico are really good on FM, in the semi-finals of the CL against Arsenal having beat Utd 2-1 on aggregate and Napoli 6-3 on aggregate. Koke is so damn good.

He's had some good games. It really shows how valuable it is having a nasty harassing cunt that can tackle (looking at you Fellaini) in midfield. Our style means we need to intercept and turn play around quickly. We got none of that with Clev and Fellaini in midfield at the weekend.

Also I like how almost everyone here has a funny player icon.
Don't get me wrong, of course it's disgrace and it shouldn't never happen again. I just think that sacking a manager in the middle of the season after one bad result is not the right decision at all. Getting rid of Hyypiä so soon would just make your team even less motivated and you probably don't want that just to send some meaningless message. Look at Chelsea, they seem to have that approach and they change their manager almost every season and because of that they really aren't consistent enough despite having one the best squads in the world.
Also I don't support Liverpool, I just want Hyypiä to succeed because he's Finnish and our football culture needs success stories to grow up. Also our local team in Finland is in the same kind of situation like you, we have a rookie manager and last season he made some mistakes and we lost matches against lesser opponents but in the end we got promoted to Veikkausliiga which was our goal.
Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes you just have to accept that and look at the bigger picture. Of course if your team plays bad matches constantly you should get rid of your manager, but that isn't something you do after first bad match.

If he could pass the ball then I'd have liked to see him move to midfield permanently. Centre half is his future position but hw does a good job as a holding midfielder when he's told to mark tightly and tackle.
We also saw a glimpse of why we bought Ando all those years ago. Bursting through tacklers and sprinting 50 yards with the ball towards the opposition goal. Shame he missed.

Average player positions in the last 4 games. Obviously, the Leverkusen game is at the top left. This is what a lot of United fans have been shouting at Pulga, but he somehow doesn't get it. When Rooney plays as a number 10, we often play a 4-4-2 no matter the intended formation. He doesn't play like a normal number 10, and there is often a big gap between the midfield and strikers. The actual game he did play like a number 10 was the Fulham game and it's no surprise we scored 3 in the first half of that match.
United have to find a way to play more fluid and keep everyone happy.

Can someone fix an icon for me? I'd gladly let him christmasfy and wear him as my avatar
My penis yearns for your destruction this Christmas.
It's a shame Rooney is so averse to playing out of the position he prefers the most, because him on the left and Shinji behind RVP would work really well I think. He'd be great defensively, he could cut inside and shoot and cross, he could dovetail with Kagawa so that he did get into the middle... shame really.
Haha, I love it
I'll make it better when I have more time.

Dutch people in here, how has Lucas Piazon been doing at Vitesse?
Cool, I wonder what that means
Can you make it better than the glorious goal though?
I know, bad excuse to post this gif
Obviously I can. I'll put a sausage in his mouth.
He's scoring a lot of goals, other than that I have no idea. I normally don't watch the competition

I think the shit play also stems from having midfielders who are static and do not take risks. Giggs went forward and also had the balls to play forward passes. He put a lot of attackers in great positions yesterday and offered a passing option up the field. Fellaini and Clev just defer to the attackers. The wingers and the strikers have to come up with a moment of individual brilliance and it's very predictable.
Btw, I hated seeing Young on the pitch yesterday. Oh my god I just hate Young. This isn't healthy guys.
Think I'll buy a 3DS tomorrow. Not entirely sure to go for a North American or European one though, fucking Nintendo and their region locking. I want to play Bravely Default, but also want to play SMT IV. Expect it'll be difficult to get a European version anyway so I'll suppose I'll just have to wait it out til Feb.
As a side note, it's really weird to me how I can just go out and buy a 3DS. When I was a teenager buying a console was a big fucking deal, even for a handheld. Even games could take some weeks to save up for. I literally just decided today to buy a 3DS and that's all there is to it now.

Young serves one purpose only: to humiliate your opponent.

I'd grab FIFA and wait for the other two to lose value.
Re: Witcher 2. Before you play it, research the lore. If you don't, you will be fucking confused.
But fucking amazing game, up there in my top 5 of all time
The Lore is something in game?
No, the lore of the series, like the lore of skyrim involved shit that went on 200 years ago that build up the world you play in
Kiitos TPK and Wilbur.
There was much at stake during this evening. Leverkusen were facing an opponent that was beatable at home and had a chance to get through if they won.
And what the world saw was that the 2nd of the current Bundesliga season began the game like dilettantes and lost their nerves afterwards when they got rightly punished for their lack of implication. Not only this costs the Bundesliga points in the UEFA ranking but also a good chunk of credibility for the league.
You can bet that the DFL and Völler are currently discussing what the best reaction to this routing would be. To me, it would be the sacking of Hyppiä and the reintroduction of Lewandowski, who is a superior trainer anyway.
And the sacking in itself is not enough to me. I would want the Leverkusen board to publically announce a reform of their management workflow to give more priority to scouting and mental preparation for the youth and senior teams. What we saw tonight is even worse than the 2002-2003 season when Leverkusen finished the second group stage with 0 pts.

There is lots of lore and nooks and shit, but not sure what the fuck you would be confused with. The main character got amnesia, so you just go ahead and roleplay as him not knowing much of anything. I didn't play through much of witcher 1 or read anything else and I enjoyed it a lot and never felt I was left out of some explanation.

Because having actual games worth playing upon launch would be too much to ask.
You didn't get confused with the barrage of names and shit at the start?
Maybe i'm just dumb haah
