Football Thread U 2013/14 |OT8| 3rd in a 2 team league
- Thread starter Sleeplessnights
- Start date
I'm starting to finally understand why people enjoy FM so much. But holy hell there is just so much to do in this game I can't keep track of it all.
Will Hughes is incredible. He can play nearly any position in the middle of the pitch. I have him as a Regista right now because my normal guy is injured and he's rocking it

It's so much easier being an international manager :lol. Just wait to get your boys every two months or so, don't have to deal with training or rotation or match fitness.
Getting a bit bored now though, will leave after the Euro 2016 if I qualify. I want dat high profile Championship job
It's an amazing and ridiculously deep game and it really forces you to get to know all the best young talents in the world. I love it. That you can play it and only half pay attention much of the time which allows you to multi-task is a beautiful side effect.
Lol it's probably be an easier start.
It's hard finding staff. I'm trying to find coaches who fit my style of play (4-5-1 with two DMs) but also have good attributes, and don't cost an arm and a leg. It's a challenge
I just saw your tweet replying to my PL Best XI post.
I don't think Boruc is that amazing I think it's Lovren and Schneiderlin that makes Southampton so defensively solid right now (among others) and we both included them in our lists iirc
Think he's made some absolute dynamite saves this season, but I think I'd jig it about a bit, off the top of my head:
Szczesny; Clyne, Lovren, Vertonghen, Gibbs; Ramsey, Schneiderlin; Rodriguez, Oscar, Aguero; Sturridge
Like your whole team is Southampton!
I had Gerrard in my midfield but after last week his weaknesses are too apparent.
I guess I don't rate Oscar as much as others because I feel like every time I watch Chelsea I see him at fault for loss of possession and created chances for the opposition. Hazard however is constantly a threat. Yaya Toure has been in pretty great form so far, maybe I'd do Toure, Ramsey and Schneiderlin.
Agüero and Sturridge are no brainers. RVP has been in fine form too it's just he hasn't been the most impressive.
They have been very very impressive whenever I've watched them; said it a few times but I get serious Dortmund vibes.
Toure would be a very good shout, forgot about him. Probably would have him instead of Oscar to be honest. Hazard's been very quiet this year for the most part.
Defensively Southampton are outstanding and have very good players. I am not so convinced about their attacking players though nor their ability to breakdown stubborn defences.
i cant stop laughing
thats genuinely one of the best gifs i've ever seen
fuck link is such a cunt
try putting on some real trousers you absolute grape
Real trousers.
I was all set to say what a beast Hixx was and then you threw in a few fuck-ups from him at the end. :lol

This reminds me of the infamous Gervinho miss.
holy shit (if real)
Very real. Also very real that Sociedad are not up to CL football and hopefully the 4th team from Spain to qualify next season has a back bone.

As shameful as Young was, Sociedad players falling into 50-50s with Fellaini and acting surprised that it hurts when the fucker bangs into you - lol. Go back to your Iberian bubble-leage, jokers.

damn, nice goal
Loooool Vidal <3
Conte did say there's an element of science behind his training methods and rotation policy. We gradually improved last season both in the league and in Europe so let's hope this is the case again.
I'm optimistic about our chances! Our fate is in our own hands again and four points is manageable. Hell, even if they both defeat Madrid we can still make it.

According to Marca:
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport:
I hope Allegri goes with the Gazzetta one, but in the end it won't change a lot, we're still getting hammered tonight. Still, a lot of people seem sure that we're going to do a great match tonight and maybe even draw, but I honestly don't see that possible, especially considering how bad we played seven months ago in Barcelona.
Yeah, we're masters of our destiny. The calendar looks quite managable as well.
10 novembre 2013 20:45 Serie A TIM <---> Juventus - Napoli
24 novembre 2013 15:00 Serie A TIM <---> Livorno - Juventus
27 novembre 2013 20:45 UEFA CL <---> Juventus - København
01 dicembre 2013 20:45 Serie A TIM <---> Juventus - Udinese
06 dicembre 2013 20:45 Serie A TIM <---> Bologna - Juventus
10 dicembre 2013 20:45 UEFA CL <---> Galatasaray - Juventus
14 dicembre 2013 20:45 Serie A TIM <---> Juventus - Sassuolo
22 dicembre 2013 15:00 Serie A TIM <---> Atalanta - Juventus
Please qualify 2nd and draw United and spank them hard.
We'll be cheering for you from the Europa League.

Any formation with Zapata vs Barça seems a bad idea to begin with. Anyway, I agree, the 4-4-1-1 seems much better, Poli showed everybody that he's actually good and Allegri should use him more. I don't know if I should get my hopes up for Kakà, I feel like he could be decisive tonight.

Thanks luci, good luck. Hope it's a good game.
Nice!!
I saw an article on Newsnow with the title "Is Suso better than Messi?"
What a ridiculous question. Of course he is.
Totally expected it to be Benzema
Pogba was out of this world last night. Fucker is fearless, it's impossible not to like him.
And God knows I've TRIED.
I want United more than anyone in this world. But purely for nostalgic reasons. <3
Let's settle this once and for all ->

Aye.
Fellaini wasn't crap, which is a level up.
It's fucking perplexing that Kagawa gets so much stick (though he has played many guff passes recently) for cutting in from the left. At least he tends to do it with some kind of decisiveness.
Young trots in at a gentle diagonal. No pressure on the fullbacks. No need for the centrebacks to pull over, push up or drop deeper, or really concern themselves in any degree. Fucking run to the flag once in a while. It's not complicated, but you know what ? It fucking works. They chase you. At the very least, they worry about you getting round the outside.
Shit, Adnan could (unlike Young) stand players up with footwork, but you know what he does more often than not ? He legs it down the line. Because it's so painfully obvious that it helps the fucking team.
