BEST EVER FOOTBALL MANAGER COMEBACK

retired_AROSS · 02-20-2008, 08:55 PM

My greatest comeback since switching to 8.02 waswith Arsenal.

A 3-2 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

I was trailing 2-1 at half time, Asamoah Gyan scored in the 72 minute to tie it, and again at 87 for the victory.

A more important comeback was against Portsmouth. John Utaka scored in the 19 minute and I trailed the entire game.

Van Persie had the ball and was taking it to goal. Nigel Reo-Coker fouls him and the ref awards a penalty in the 89 minute. Miguel Veloso buries it, tying the game and keeping my undefeated EPL season alive.

I did finish the season undefeated.
30 Wins, 8 Draws.
81 Goals For, 15 Goals Against

It's true.

I was up 3-0 on Werder Bremen in the Champs League by the 27 minute.

Half-time score was 3-1

Tim Borowski scored at 47 to make it 3-2. And then Kolo Toure scored an own goal in the 69 to tie the game. Fortunately, Nicklas Bendtner scored at 82 to secure the win, and to qualify me for the next round of the Champs League

With leyton orient I was 5-2 down against Millwall in the 89th minute. Got one goal in the 89th minute and then two in stoppage time to make it 5-5. The equaliser was officially the most mental I have ever gone playing fm.

ok,...Last night, i beat arsenal at Old Trafford in the first leg of the champs league QTR Final 5-0.

i was thrilled as you can imagine.
Second leg comes around and guess what?
Arsenal 8-0 Man Utd
wtf?

same exact formation and tactic destroyed them in first leg. 2 weeks later and it's useless.

that however has to be the best comeback i've witnessed albeit for the Opposition.

Ms. Winehouse the tears do not dry on their own. their still flowing freely down my cheek

Such wit. Well done mate. Don't know if you got this, but he is pretty happy

about the comeback and wanted to share that with us.
I would suggest that the bold and caps are appropriate.
Good comeback CF4ONE, beats all of mine.

My best was playing as Brondby, I was 4-0 down to a Danish team beggining with E (Ejsborg? I can't remember now). It quickly went to 5-1, before my team rose from the ashes to make it 5-5, and then, agonisingly, having a last minute winner disallowed.

My most satisfying comeback came just this evening though. As Liverpool, I was 4-2 to Man Utd at half time, but went on to win 5-4.

I disagree, maybe a few of them were really needed for dramatic effect, but not that many, in particular the thread title.
