I wanted to say "so it was him that threw the pizza at Fergie!" here, but sadly it wasn't the same match or even season

It would have been fb if it was Wenger in a mood though.

It happened again, this time 20 times worse. It sort of dispells your comments Arsene. This is just ridiculous and they were down to 10 men for 40 mins

Blame ArseneFM, he is being paid by SI to create arguments and get threads locked. It's so obvious.

if you cannot give evidence to your hypothesis and just use your gut instinct instead of your head, then, I feel sorry for you

and also, "you use Arsenal in 07 and entire season unbeaten" well done. even the most stupid fools knows that you can save and load when playing FM :thup:

Yet again you make another assumption without having any facts.

Maybe this is how you play the game to convince yourself you are a good at it, but I don't see any value in cheating so I don't.

Besides, why would I complain the game is unrealistic and then cheat after every game to make it even more unrealistic. You can't even follow your own logic.

It is time for a good patch yes, but then it must be fine. Roll on monday.

Wow, 20-30 posts in this thread and about 4 that are worthwhile. Roll on the day when there are new/more mods for GQ.

Considering that you both had the same amount of shots, and you only hit the target with less than a quarter of your shots while Chelsea hit the target with half of theirs, it seems pretty reasonable that they won, no matter how annoying it may be.

Finishing isn't the only attribute that comes into scoring goals by the way, others are also linked to this which may affect how a striker copes when given the chance to have a shot. Any of these may be affecting your strikers ability to put the chances way. Missing all the time when they are only a couple of yards out with no challenge coming in (if that is what is happening) sounds pretty dodgy though. How are your strikers doing goal-wise? It might be a confidence/morale (which is flawed at the moment) thing, I don't really know.

I would comment on the small players beating huge players to headers, but I'm not sure how that works any more (or if it has changed since previous versions) as I remember seeing a post by someone from SI explaining it for FM08 and I simply can't find it when searching. It's on the boards somewhere though if you really want to find out.

Possession does seem a little iffy at the moment in FM08 however. I have a pre-season friendly where I won 8-0 against a terrible team and only saw 44% of the ball, whilst having something like 28 shots with 19 on target and the opposition only having 2 shots in the whole game. It seems a little unrealistic that you could create that many chances without having the majority of the possession.

Not long until the patch comes out now anyway.

This is the one I'm going to agree with. Hopefully the patch will tweak things like the possession and number of chances created. Personally, I've yet to notice much of a problem with players with a much worse jumping attribute beating players with higher ones in the air, but I think a few people have said they have, so hopefully that will have at least been looked at too.

52% of the ball isn't that much, it's 2% more than half and therefore only 4% more than your opponent had.

16 shots on goal? Didn't Man U have something like that against City? Didn't City only have one? Who won? City.

PS I didn't mean to offend any one in that post, it's just hard to get your point across correctly on a forum.

totally understand your point but it keeps happening it doesn't feel like a fluck. I have tried so many different formations, 2 up front 1 up top 3 in midfield every think gives me alot of possession but my strikers keep wasting chances. Look at the second screenie I posted that was ridiculous and they were down to 10 men in that game for ages. Surely saviet, ashley young and billy sharp are decent finishers.

Are you constantly changing your formations and tactics when you are getting problems? This might not be helping if so. Try sticking with the same tactic for a while, even if it doesn't work right away, just to give your players a bit of time to get used to it and see if that makes a difference.

Also, use the pre-match scout reports as much as possible if you have a good scout doing them. Focus on countering the opposition based on what he is saying, and if the opposition are clear favourites to win the game, then use his report to try and set something up to contain them instead and hope to grab a goal on the break.
