All I read around here is "it's your tactics" blah blah blah. So, my next game was Arsenal away, and to be honest I always expect to lose when playing away to Chelsea or Arsenal. My home tactics let me down.
So with that in mind I thought right, I'll take on board what all these people are saying and put some thought in to my tactics instead of using the same tactic which gave me a 1-0 win over Derby the week earlier.
The result? Quite possibly the most entertaining and sensational I've ever had.
I played a slow direct style of passing and kept my defensive line very deep. They were dominating possession, and I could see they were all out attack. So I played through balls to Rooney who easily broke through their back line, and bagged 4 goals, all one vs one with the keeper.

Obviously because it was ME who won, I now love FM08. However, when I get beaten by Bolton in my next game I will likely go back to hating it.
