Fear Of The Fox

So you believe he can continue losing games with a £1.1 billion squad without being sacked. Sure.

Slot has lost the plot. Even if he doesn't care about this cup the team can't afford to continue this losing streak. He's getting the sack soon. Another thing: Bayern is fielding tonight a full strength squad in the German Cup. Liverpool needs to find chemistry with all the new players and today's game was perfect for that. Slot messed up big time again.

My point is that laptops need good maintenance if you're going to use them for long sessions of gaming. In fact I have a better, cheaper solution for our friend: Gamepass with Xcloud streaming. This way he can play FM anywhere. Mobile phone, tablet, TV and projector with Fire Stick etc.

I'd recommend staying away from laptops even if you have the cash to splash on decent ones. All laptops have performance issues after 1 year or so and you'll see the downgrade day by day unless you're willing to open them now and then, apply thermal paste etc. Build an average PC or buy a pre-built one from a well known PC shop with quality builds. For FM I reckon you can get a £700 one and if you don't want to pay right away just do a 12 month no interest plan and pay monthly the installments. A PC will last you longer than a laptop.

For the next month or so. Ange already agreed terms and he's going to be their manager after the international break.

This kind of statement by Desmond means something serious took place either in the dressing room or in a meeting with the board. I wouldn't rule out a proper brawl.

What do you mean by my overall stance on the game? I'm nearly 50yrs old, I support and play this game since the 90s. Sometimes I even offer myself to the Leicester board as a real life manager for laughs. Alongside others I'm fully entitled to criticise the game and Miles. I don't get what you mean. This game, believe it or not, was part of my life and I'm telling this in a positive way because even though I had extremely long sessions playing it decades ago it didn't affect my social life. So If Miles&Co want to kill the game like this it's sad. I own a console but as mainly a PC user this UI is just the middle finger to all of us supporting SI for decades. There's no excuse for Miles and because the pre-orders hit a record wait for the 4th November. The backlash will be huge and I won't be surprised if the game even is pulled out of Gamepass.

While this is true, the SI legacy match engine code was reworked to fit Unity and it seems the ME is now even worse than before. There's a great video on YT where someone exposes the ME with facts for 2 hours. Tactics simply don't work, it's all running on rails with pre-defined game results. Idk what Miles is doing. Why on earth did he decide to actually kill the franchise? If he wanted to go the KONAMI way he should have been honest at least to the community. "I'm downgrading the game for handheld devices to reach more casual consumers". Personally, I don't even care about the 3D engine. Give me the classic 2D one with tactics that actually work. Leave the rest in my imagination which is way better than a 3D match engine.

As it stands any team with 3 straight wins can climb up the table drastically. The table will stabilise way later than last season imo.

Forest fans thought the team bounced back because they won against a Portuguese team. The last time a Portuguese team won in England must have been pre WW2 (or WW1?). I can't remember.

So BR available tomorrow?

They probably realised the majority of the modern defenders lack of intelligence. In every single game a couple of them go to instant panic mode when the ball is in the box and their positioning is awful. Direct football was always the most efficient way to play the sport. Quick ball touches, through balls and intelligent runs into the space is how football should be played.

https://frvr.com/blog/football-manager-26-lead-confirms-new-overhaul-will-have-issues-as-you-cant-expect-20-years-worth-of-quality-in-a-brand-new-experience/ Oh well. I don't regret refunding it then Miles because I've paid nearly 30 years for every iteration (including CM) and I expect the quality to be there. I paid again this year to support the company even though the game will be available in a few days via the subscription service I have. This is a massive failure and it will become even worse with the huge wave of refunds on 4th November. Not only the UI is an insult to all PC users but it looks like there's no coding of any decent cpu AI related to tactics which means the game is a walk in the park for everyone. I guess their audience now is 10yrs old console kids.

It's gonna be 10mins for sure. At least.

Brentford player was waiting for the ball to magically come to him like a puppy or something.

Idk if I should laugh or cry.

I agree. Strictly by the "modern football" rule might be a pen but come on. This would have never been a pen back in the 80s,90s or early 00s. Not even a foul.

The fact we can't find a striker even 100 times worse than Vardy is depressing. Everybody we have is 10 million times worse than him. Our scouting team needs sacking immediately tonight.

I posted mid week in the CL topic that Liverpool are now a classic Dutch team. Slot had more time to implement his ideas and this isn't a good thing. They play like a Dutch team, there's no structure in midfield and defense. There's no press on the opposition when out of possession and the team is softer with the players they signed. Ofc all their games will be entertaining because of this style but I'm quite certain Slot will be sacked soon.

It doesn't matter if he plays 3, 4 or 5 at the back. This team is the only one in the whole universe without a natural striker. I watched Andromeda Bignoses vs Mars Eatheads the other day and they both had strikers on the pitch.

In all seriousness, because unfortunately the board will not offer me the job, we need a feisty manager, someone who won't hesitate to show the exit door to a dozen of these footballers and start rebuilding by playing youngsters. We have nothing to lose as it stands. At least the young ones will show more passion than these sad failures we have now.

Imagine having someone like Ange with no strikers and 2 CBs with a combined 10 IQ. What could go wrong?

I agree! Let's get Ange in, another wannabe manager, another fraud who has absolutely no coaching and tactical skills. +1 for Ange.

If the issue is money I'm available for pennies and I can get us promoted if this is what the board wants. I'm the Simeone manager style so some of our current players are gonna start crying in the dressing room and quit. I'll give them the option to leave the team or, even better, quit the sport altogether. I'm gonna be a fair manager.

This is the issue. Another nice payout. So it's all about money, he doesn't care about the teams or his reputation. "If I fail I'll walk out richer and I have a good agent" mentality which have ruined everything in the sport.
