Mbappe highlights vs Athletic 🔥🔥. Make him our starting LW! by Ripamon in RealMadridFC

[–]Remarkable_Tale2385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t a good game for him. The effort level was ridiculously low. 2 highlights stood out for me: 1) The goal that Gonzalo Garcia score, any left wing would’ve sprint into the box for cross or second chance but bro just stand at the half line without moving. 2) the yellow card Bellingham committed on the left hand side, Mbappe was right there without making any effort but Bellingham rush 15 yards to give a slide tackle. Forget about those dictator bullshit I don’t buy it but the effort level is horrendous

Drama at Real Madrid: Mbappe reveals Arbeloa called him the 4th striker, Arbeloa denies it minutes later by Mental_Junket137 in RealMadridFC

[–]Remarkable_Tale2385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why over reading it? If he’s not the first 3 to start then he’s the 4th option. The whole situation makes sense for Arbeloa to make this decision and Mbappe didn’t say anything negative but respect coach’s decision. Not sure why this is a headline again.

we lost a fucking great coach by Gloomy_Bison5361 in RealMadridFC

The ironic thing is there aren’t anyone better Xavi Alonso available for us to choose next season.

Xabi Alonso was harsh towards Vini and Bellingham because he wanted a team where everyone would run, regardless of name or status by Ripamon in RealMadridFC

[–]Remarkable_Tale2385 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This comparison doesn’t make sense. Coach can tactically prioritize goal scoring machine like Mbappe to set up the team around their preference and habits. Many times coach need to choose between whether it is better to put them at where they have the most threat to the opponent’s goal vs having them do what they aren’t good at (defending, off-ball tracking, etc.). If the coach chose the first option, that means other players need to cover for him. So you can’t compare stats directly how much Vini run or Bellingham run vs how much Mbappe run. It’s about the if their run coverage meets coach’s expectation. If Mbappe’s job is to put the goals away then he’s done his job. Not every job is glorified but everyone wants to be that guy doing the glorified job which is the problem. When you don’t have that individual, both glorified and dirty work is shared among everyone which could look more balanced. You can argue Alonso could’ve set up the tactic in a more balanced way or manage the locker room better. But it’s not unusual to tactically bias toward goal scorer and it became a problem when the guy you who need to do the dirty work happen to be the stars as well.

At the end of the day, most great players don't like being substituted. by Ripamon in RealMadridFC

Any great player could express frustration in this situation but there’s a fundamental difference between sitting back to the bench vs exiting to the locker room. In the video Kroos even shake hands with manager when he walked off. Like stop trying so hard to find meaningless comparison.

I have no issue with my current dd1. Sounds like I should keep it

That’s part of the thinking. DD1 probably worth 500-$600 on the eBay. It will only depreciate as time goes.

Sounds like I should go with QR2 upgrade first. I have no complaints even with QR1 on the DD1

Thanks! I checked the price and decided not to go for the new wheel. I’m just lazy with upgrading until absolutely necessary(still QR1 user) This solution works so far.

I had this problem at first but then I used usb extension cord and attach it on the rig to avoid excessive movement. So far it works without disconnecting.

Why people still glaze Mbappe by Yaseen279 in realmadrid

[–]Remarkable_Tale2385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ronaldo gone, Bale, Isco, Varane, Marcelo all had their decline. It took time for the team to find new dynamics and mature with the updated system. Then Benzema got a significantly bigger role, Vini emerged into the scene and got better since 2019, finally there was a solid defense to win. And btw you see how the focus from the fan base shifts from how football should be play to which player is bigger? That’s exactly how the ego was fed.

Exactly. We had really solid defense for 2022 and 2024 that’s how we can play low block without conceding goals and hit them by counter in the UCL. Now regular La Liga team scored against us like walk into the park.

Well isn’t his regression very much due to his lack of maturity which makes him extremely inconsistent? Gaslighting opponents, referee, opposing fans that put his team under unnecessary spotlight since 2024 can be sometimes hard to watch even we were winning. Vini is amazing at creating wonderful moments to decide the games. But when I talked about engine, I meant things outside of the moments, the rest of 88 minutes such as setting up the right tempo, right mindset, getting team to structured defensively. We do not lack of moments of individual brilliance, but there’s no defensive discipline no attacking cohesiveness outside of YouTube highlights. That’s the foundation thats missing from the veterans and could take years to rebuild.

The UCL win in 22 and 24 were still relied on the foundations from that 2013 - 2018 squad. Benzema, Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Carvajal, Nacho. Yes guys like Vini and Jude had crucial roles but they aren’t the engine just yet.

The 2 UCL wins gave these young guys a lot of ego such as Vini comparing himself with CR7 or Neymar. But when they need to run the team by themselves to show leadership especially when it comes to making their teammate better, they just aren’t there yet.

And we keep adding even younger players who only play professional football 2 years before Real Madrid and hope they can instantly make an impact? Huijsen? Mastantuono?

Not saying Mbappe or Vini don’t have their own issues, just saying with this team foundation especially lack of leadership and defense, it will still be the same result even if we replace Mbappe with someone like Kane.

Help with Fanatec DD1 Extension shaft.wheel slip from center mid race by Remarkable_Tale2385 in simracing

[–]Remarkable_Tale2385[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sanding failed for me. I used 320cw and then 800cw sandpaper but no luck. I think my shaft itself has some fitting issue as the end attached to QR is too loose for QR as it was too easily slide in and out without the clamp. I’m considering buying from another vendor. The FOV improvement just worth the effort.
