No but I think the 3 games is tied to aggression of the incident or whatever.
They had somewhat of a point when a player has been sent off and banned for 3 games when 2 other players have had their boot at face level this weekend (one making solid contact) and there's not so much as a yellow card.

The 3 game ban is linked to it being a tackle which endangers the opponent.

I'm very vocal when it comes to Bayern and let my feelings get the best of me. I'm giving ancelotti too much shit but we regressed when it comes to tactics and match plan.
this is van gaal 2011 bad.
it just needs van buyten upfront

Cmon mate, LvG was a total pleb when it came to anything resembling defense. Also Buyten was killing it for some 10 minute CF attacks lmao.. It's not that bad. Keep in mind that Bayern lost to the CL winners due to some comical set of referee mistakes last year.

see last page: Nagelsmann.
although there is a big hype about him, I think he is someone we need for our transition phase. he showed that he can work with young players and he showed he can adjust his matchplan against other teams on the go. something I haven't seen ancelotti doing once.
pep knew exactly during a game where is mistakes were and what he had to change. unfortunately he was an asshole but that's another story

He hasn't coached a team with divas and superstars on almost every position. Managing 18-19 quality players so they don't cry. Dude is younger than several players on the team lol..

And Pep failed at Bayern. He took the most dominant 1 year team of all time and was unable to make a single final, after Jupp made 2 in a row winning the last one. Keep in mind Carlo's style has earned him 3 CL titles, making him one of the most successful european coaches of all time. Also Carlo's job isn't done for certain. He wins the CL this season, you bet your ass he's staying. Esp after what happened with Jupp, Bayern wouldn't do the same deja vu mistake again.

Liverpool were just appealing like I do in Football Manager. Appeal everything.

"Straight red, horror shock tackle"
"Assistant manager says it's probably justified"

APPEAL.

To be fair to Liverpool they do what I always do, don't appeal the ban but ALWAYS appeal the length.

two things I do each year on FM

1. Appeal everything.
2. Type fuck off in the presser custom comment bit "Lashley goes on tirade"

My kind of players.

"Welcome to club X, how do you feel about becoming the new manager?"

I love storming out, especially if my best player leaves and they ask me asinine questions like how I feel

I like fining players harshly too. I'm a right bastard.

I should be more aggressive with players, I'm a soft touch but morale invariably ends up plummeting halfway through the season for no apparent reason anyway.

I routinely put everyone over the age of 29 on the transfer list when I join a club.

Michael Carrick? 10 years of service to the club?

FUCK HIM OFF, MATE.

sorry meant in terms of creativitiy in the offense and not having a plan b if the opponent just parks the bus.
we are obviously not 2011 level bad when you see the whole picture.

Pep Guardiola on Man City: "Ederson is here, Vincent Kompany is in Manchester. Kompany is much better. He is coming back soon."
 
FM and Wolfenstein are like the only games I am getting this year and maybe Battlefront.

Wolfenstein is gonna be goooooooooooood. Gonna have to try the FIFA and PES demos this year, might swap teams to PES, might not bother at all.

FM is only a spreadsheet to me I can't be dealing with it all

Before tonight's footie starts, take 2 mins to read this programme note from Barnsley chairman Patrick Cryne.
