Fear Of The Fox

This guy would have been rejected in a Mexican or Colombian b-movie as a citizen passing by a smuggler's hut and he's a football manager here paid millions.

Professional players earning millions and they can't even deliver a ball into the box from a corner.

I can do the same and I'm cheaper in my 40s. Pass the ball back all the time, nothing wrong. I can do that.

Freestyle football YouTubers are also very good technically. We should sign them also?

It's really mind boggling isn't it? I'm certain right now these managers are like politicians. They don't have a clue, they don't know anything about the sport and they're getting jobs because they know people on a higher level.

We don't have players in the box. Ayew is roaming on the right side without purpose, when we get into good positions there's absolutely nobody in the box. I can't understand how managers can't see these blatant issues.

Fired up the 10h trial, played the "Authentic" mode, it felt a bit more like football with a slower pace. Defenders are still idling without a reason, ball is like a magnet on players feet, GKs don't even rush out, there are no fouls, there's no inertia with players turning on the spot like spin wheels. 1h37m later uninstalled. If EA pays me 1 million to play the game I might think about it and 1 million is probably still low for the damage in my mental health it will cause.

I've been playing Pro Evo since the first iteration of the game with the exception of FIFA 16/17 which were decent FIFA games. Idk what you mean nobody else was playing Pro Evo at that point. Even now PES 21 is classes above any recent FIFA or whatever they call this abomination now.

Last time Soumare turned up to a game it was on my Master League save in PES 21.

Yes he did. He played well. As I said it wasn't an outstanding performance, he can do better. These Spanish teams are very demanding regarding expectations. It's not just the goals. If Barca were playing like Man Utd there would have been a revolution in the city.

Re Rashford, yes he's not been outstanding today but he's been decently involved. The question is why the majority of British players are better when they play for European teams. The answer is there's more pressure from the fans. In Spain, Italy etc you can't take the piss, you can't be relaxed and don't care. The fans will find you somewhere (training ground, home, cafe, restaurant) and demand answers why you're taking the piss. I'm not talking about abusive behaviour, they have a way to be polite but also demanding.

18yr old GK who played around 80mins in his career saves a penalty in Champions League and Man Utd still can't find a decent GK. 😀

Do you mean the autumn or winter?

I don't think it matters that much they score late goals. They're capable to do it every second. Their problem is the defense which is a joke. This is also the difference between them and a team like Man Utd which is a joke both in defense and offense.

Kinda but Golazo is million times better.

You don't have Prime or you can't find the option to enable it?

I can't understand the rules now. Are they changing them every week? Every game? I thought a foul starting outside the box and continuing inside it's a penalty. This is what the pundits were telling us a few weeks ago.

How come nobody has commented yet on the Prime Vision coverage?

They're lucky they're not in Championship. I saw a table with 31 games played since Amorim was appointed and they're last on points against all "established" PL teams. If this season the promoted teams prove to be more competitive Man Utd will be in huge trouble. They've spent a billion and they're still fielding Maguire and Shaw (and Mount!). Imo the problem isn't just Amorim. It's Ratatouille. He's the major problem of this team.

Does anyone have a reasonable explanation how GKs like Bayindir are playing in PL and earn millions? Is PL a closed club like the corrupted Hollywood where you need to tick certain boxes to get in and have the "appropriate" agents to promote you?

It's a correct call under stupid rules that ruin the game. A rule/law can be unfair and wrong and this is what we point out. If there's a law that you'll be taxed 80% of your income what would you say? Would you be happy because you need to follow the rules?

The handball rule is ridiculous. Unless there's a clear scoring opportunity and the ball is about to hit the target handballs like this should just be an indirect free kick inside the box.

Enjoy it then. I'm enjoying it because you're all gonna suffer from this farce.

Oh enjoy your new game then. I'm done with it. I'm not going to justify ref decisions because this is a new sport.

2 free throws for LeBron then.
