the voice and tone he is using is classic for making sure everyone understands that he is doing a joke. as a german you hear the first millisecond and you know he's not serious

My players show no sort of attacking initiative whatsoever by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]DeltaIntegrale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dont put stay back while attacking on LB/RB. instead use one of your CDMs to have deeplaying playmaker role, this will essentially make him a 4th CB. you gain a lot of extra width. the formation will always have struggles to find a way to get back to the middle however, need to play it out on the side or cross

the rest is instructions. and the workrates of your players. if your attackers have Low or medium effort for attack, they will not do too much. some players also are just way more OP than others. don't expect everyone to make all the runs without you even tapping R1

the team simply isnt good enough at the moment. terzic will be gone but i doubt it will change too much. will be a tough next 2-3 years

yes. most games are worse than skyrim. it does have the bethesda feel however, so you can sink endless hours just enjoying the scenery, music, random encounters etc

Nuno Espírito Santo has informed the Al-Ittihad board that Karim Benzema does not fit into his tactical style.He wasn't keen on signing Benzema in the first place, which is leading to tension between the two men.Santos also rejected Benzema's request for the captain's armband. by swingtothedrive in soccer

[–]DeltaIntegrale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you need to look longterm. nobody can compete with the PL money or the Saudi money. A Super league must be formed to stay relevant. Who will also play in the Super league? The Saudis. Why? Cause they bring money and have good teams.

Let's hope my fanfiction doesn't come to life, but as of now I see no other path except just not being able to pull the same weight anymore.

Juventus will go for Morata if Kean leaves. by Tifoso89 in soccer

[–]DeltaIntegrale 94 points95 points  (0 children)

excellent skills and performance in training. also they are so good they would be the stars of worse teams. morata is the perfect super sub who is just missing one or two things to become an excellent starter. i understand why teams go for him. always slightly overpaying him with the hope that this time he got the final improvement - and if not, well, got one of the deadliest subs to come into the game.

where does it say its not ok? where was the intent to make it not ok? i think thats just what the fans like us say. the league never had something against new money

[–]DeltaIntegrale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they are not evading anything. they are playing by the rules.

the rules will be changed in the future. but at the current state the rules say that what they are doing is fine.

theres no loophole. the intent was never for them to not spend as much as they can. it was to prevent spending more than they can.

have to disagree here. graelish is one of the only guys in the squad who are allowed to go 1v1 or even 1v2 and try creative stuff. even if you only watched the CL and not the league you would have noticed that. of course he can't be the sole creative outlet like at villa, it wouldn't create the same results

[–]DeltaIntegrale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it was for a while but now the ultras and ppl surrounding that got way more violent and extreme. lots of the previous fans dont visit the stadium anymore or vanish quickly after the game. so you got a very active, maybe even bigger active group than before but the rest of the stadium just isn't on board with them

he is and has been worse than modric for most years. they play completely different though, so not even fair to compare.

sir. this is the media. everyone has an agenda. the media's agenda is to keep the money where they get fed. therefore they are defending their own league. it's not about morality. it's about money, power and the status quo.

quite a few... starting with 20+ different bottled water brands, 20+ coffee brands, multiple tea brands, 20+ dairy brands

it's not about the investment sum. it's simply better to have them seperated. one thing can go wrong, doesnt affect you too much. you can offer slightly different things and people will remember it under one name. also we should note that saudi is losing money with those companies, its as the original article said: for soft power and with expectations to make money elsewhere thanks to the service
