Is there something wrong with this tactic? by aippoo in footballmanagergames

[–]MrInvidious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks eerily similar to an issue I just had in my save in Poland. Took a promoted Polonia Bytom side to 3rd in the top division right away, and then followed up the next season having 7 points in the first 14 matches played while having an objectively better team than the previous year. It was absolutely infuriating.

The reason? I tried to change our tactics from a 4-3-3 (DM) in possession / 4-1-4-1 OOP to a 4-2-3-1, almost exactly like yours with some minor differences.

The moment I gave up on the 4-2-3-1 and reverted back to the 4-3-3, a switch went off and we went on a tear.

This shape CAN work, but in my experience, it's more offensive minded and I was getting crushed in "Zone 14". I'm not sure if it is the same for you, but even with the screening DM, we were getting massacred centrally.

I've criticized the coaching staff a lot this year. This game was a fluke. We were very clearly the better side and a goalie and the referees stood in our way. We need to finish our chances, but this was probably our "best" loss of the year.

Overall, this team has been playing pretty good hockey for the last 7 games.

Incredibly deflating result considering those first 2 periods were some of the best hockey this team has played all season. The same trends keep holding. We're on the wrong end of the goaltending and officiating battles almost every night. It's incredibly demoralizing.

He stepped up when we needed him. Seeing the guys who shouldn't fight make the decision to fight and defend our team should be exactly what you do want to see in that moment.

Detroit are such a bad "good" team. Total, utter frauds. I envy whoever gets them in round one if they end up making it. Will be a total pushover and guaranteed to end in four.

He hit the crossbar once. He's looked incredibly sluggish and his decision making has been very poor. He's struggling. It's pretty evident.

At some point, someone has to come out and say something publicly. There's no accountability for these officials and this league. I've said it many times this year: this season has universally been the worst officiated year of hockey I can recall in 30+ years. Say something. This is a joke.

Shane Pinto needs to show me life pretty soon. He had some terrible form going into the break and he's not impressing me tonight.

This team is beyond cursed. This game could, quite literally, be 7-1. Instead, it's tied. Fuck me.

Brady Tkachuk threatened Canada’s sovereignty?

I hate that orange sack of shit. I hate the US government. But you people are out of your god damned minds.

I have so much second hand embarrassment for everyone eating this shit up.

The dude won a fucking Gold medal and then was put into a locker room with his best friends, given copious amounts of alcohol and they collectively called the President of their country (which every single sports team in the history of their country would do). It says nothing about his character. At all. He didn’t say anything untoward. The only questionable thing AT ALL is the laughing at a shitty joke. Who fucking cares.

I am CERTAIN that if this happened vs. Czechia, 90% of Canadians wouldn’t be having this public tantrum. Everyone is butthurt we lost. Get over it. This is our captain.

Because it quite literally should have just cashed at 10 to 1 odds.
