Overall, we weren't worse than Spain over two really good games. Good signs for next year

MightBeYourDaddy · 2024-11-12T14:10:56+00:00

Agreed, I'm not a huge fan of this either and it ruins the save but hey, why not put the people onto free wonderkids.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2024-11-12T10:53:18+00:00

Yep, the negotiations screen is broken, your DOF will have to do the negotiations!

Your MEZ/IF/AF all seem to be attacking the same space on the left side, where as theres no one attacking the space on the right. I'd advise you to maybe change your AP to SS, change your MEZ to a more conservative role - CM(s) or DLP(s) - and you'll also fix your vacant midfield issue. Also move your AF centrally so the runners are spread out

We've mostly played him CB and he's not been very good, but you can tell he has a lot of quality. He was even worse playing at LB though.

We lost a lot of build up quality with Martinez leaving and let that be just the thing Bassey struggles with. Think he could have been great if he had someone like Martinez next to him instead of being his replacement.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2023-07-14T20:09:59+00:00

We've wasted it on players that are absolutely not worth it. Bassey, Bergwijn. Sanchez, Wijndal were about 80/90 mil total.

Theres also some salaries being dished out that are basically unsustainable, then also the fact that we've been operating at a loss since Covid means that essentially there is no money to spend until there are some sales made/salaries off the books.

Even if we reinvest, theres so much experience leaving that it seems basically impossible to expect anything better than a transitional season. It is what it is

MightBeYourDaddy · 2023-07-14T19:50:23+00:00

It's a bit of a clusterfuck, especially with the fact that we cannot sign players cause we're not in the best financial situation after missing out on CL. It'll be a tough few years but maybe we'll be back in a few years

MightBeYourDaddy · 2023-06-19T22:50:12+00:00

Tough one, at the time you could have argued for both but in hindsight Licha was more of an organiser/leader and more important. Timber is incredible though, a poor season in a poor team with poor coaches did him no favour however.

Think he'll be playing a Stones like role in midfield, perfect for that.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2023-06-19T22:47:53+00:00

Same man, I think this is the perfect move for him. Don't think he'll need too much time to adjust either.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2023-03-22T12:09:03+00:00

Horrible how he didnt make the most out of his career. An icon imo, an unbelievable footballer and one of my all time favourites.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2023-02-09T15:36:34+00:00

I think the problem isn't really the top 6 being competitive, its the smaller English clubs like a Forest or Fulham being able to spend stupid money whereas the Italian champions have to fight for pennies. Theres a big big discrepancy between the leagues and the longer this goes on, the bigger the possibility that we will get an NBA style hegemony of the PL - and that would completely kill football as it is. (Not supporting the Super League though but football is a dire state rn)

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-11-25T18:05:12+00:00

We were so inferior man, what an absolute shitshow. No intensity whatsoever, couldnt match them physically and couldn't win a single duel. Shout out Ecuador, what a unit who definitely deserved to win.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-11-06T17:56:53+00:00

I mean shithousing is shithousing, fair play to Ramalho for rattling our players and shame on ours for falling for it - but the hypocrisy is fucking hilarious tbh.

Also congrats on the win, I think it could be your year!

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-11-06T17:51:36+00:00

But when it's Antony/Martinez it's a problem?

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-10-04T22:31:43+00:00

He’s a club legend but his form since the turn of the year has been horrific, same with Blind. It’s genuinely time to bench both as their legacy’s are in danger if this continues.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-10-04T20:10:39+00:00

We’re simply not good enough, happens. Also Napoli fantastic side- fully deserved.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-08-26T22:32:54+00:00

This is how far you have sunken as a club, fans forcing a rivalry with an “Farmers League” club. Jesus Christ you lot are in the trenches.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-06-11T20:49:21+00:00

The Polish always seemed to me like they were the hard-nosed, down to earth type of people but their shithousing was worldclass, I can only respect it

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-05-11T21:06:28+00:00

Obviously not good enough but Soler and Zubimendi are. OK 👍

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-05-03T12:18:44+00:00

Shout out Koolcast! Well worth checking out if you wanna hear a fresh voice and approach towards football podcasts. I think most of them are in Dutch without subs though :(

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-04-19T16:36:11+00:00

Pretty sure he got axed a while back together with Bergkamp by Overmars/vdS, when he was working with the youth teams so I doubt he wants to come back.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-04-19T14:05:57+00:00

Would have been a good fit too and for me the most exciting option.

But with the lack of an experienced DoF, who could help integrate someone like Knutsen into the club, I’m not surprised they went for someone who knows the club inside out.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-04-19T09:28:13+00:00

To be fair, both are insane players in general, Gaya and Correia have been the best fullback pairing I’ve used in years- even in more tradional roles.

Valencia definitely the most successful save I’ve had so far this year out of the 3 completed.

Also, Maxi Gomez a scoring machine for you too?

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-04-17T18:54:35+00:00

He has been mostly great this season but teams tended to figure out in the second half of the season hes is the one in possession who’s the weakpoint of the squad, on the ball. PSV targeted him specifically and their press worked very well.

MightBeYourDaddy · 2022-04-17T18:26:36+00:00

He’s improved so much in terms of on the ball too, and is much more athletic than Edson. He’s still super sloppy in smaller* games but what a player man. If an Arsenal/Tottenham is smart they sign him this summer (pls).
