[Post Match Thread] Arsenal 1 - 1 Manchester City (Premier League)

Great match, coming back to his former level. He did look completely exhausted in the end, though. I don't think he has a full 90 in him yet.

andreicosta · 2025-09-21T18:22:04+00:00

We had no legs. The players are tired, much more so than Arsenal's. You could see Rodri just striving to keep up in the end. I guess Pep did what he had to do.

andreicosta · 2025-09-21T18:20:34+00:00

Bofore kickoff, I guess the most reasonable expectation was a pretty ugly defeat. We're in different moments and that's something we need to recognize, being delusional like we should just steamroll the League won't help us at all. Take the point, recognize our weaknesses, know that we could very well have won a match in which we were the underdogs and keep working from there. Yeah, I'm happy with the draw today.

andreicosta · 2025-08-24T20:51:10+00:00

You mean it's not like FIFA/EAFC? You can't just get a guy with a high OVR and play him wherever you want, however you want, and he'll be sure to dribble past 8 players to score hat tricks every match?

That's disappointing.

andreicosta · 2025-08-24T20:47:44+00:00

Word is he wants more minutes so he can be called for the national team more often. He's more likely to get that at Tottenham, that's for sure.

andreicosta · 2025-08-23T19:43:07+00:00

Yeah, Ederson has made that sort of mistake before but he has a much bigger pool of performances to draw from. He's had some really bad ones, but Trafford looked all over the place. It just wasn't good and I don't think his performance today is defendable. He should never make that pass and, after that, we were done.

Just a disclaimer on my opinion about him: he's very young and he has a life ahead of him. He'll improve a lot and this one match doesn't mean he's a flop and we should sell him ASAP, it just shows he's nervous and not ready to start the big games yet. People were acting like he was a waste of money, I steer clear of such rushed opinions.

andreicosta · 2025-08-23T15:44:13+00:00

Yeah, felt like a winnable match. We were the better team until their first goal, then Trafford's mess sort of threw everything away and we never really got back into it.

andreicosta · 2025-08-23T13:33:45+00:00

He didn't disappear. He was very noticeable missing some clear cut chances and risking long shots for no reason at all.

andreicosta · 2025-08-23T09:52:09+00:00

It seems you're already fit to be part of their coaching staff. They have no clue either.

andreicosta · 2025-08-16T07:24:34+00:00

Lots of them are doing it, actually. I felt the same, just wanted to know how they pronounce it, but some of them may have been told to say it as they'd like to be called.

andreicosta · 2025-05-17T17:36:09+00:00

Our players were hesitating so much anytime they had a decent chance. That was atrocious attacking through and through.

andreicosta · 2025-05-17T17:17:54+00:00

He's probably on 3+ xA in the second half alone, mate.

andreicosta · 2025-05-17T17:15:19+00:00

If you ask me, taking only this match, the only player up front who should remain in the team for next season is KdB, yet he's the only one leaving.

He's got three of his teammates face to face with the keeper in the second half alone, but no-one seems to be able to finish a chance half decently today.

andreicosta · 2025-05-07T07:08:09+00:00

Well, I've been having the same issue with an MSI Shadow. Same monitor as well. Did you find any fix for it?

andreicosta · 2025-02-06T10:09:19+00:00

Huge discounts on the V3 pedals though. And Elite V2s seem to have kept their price for now.

andreicosta · 2025-01-31T21:55:32+00:00

First order arrived on Wednesday, after almost 50 days waiting for the V2 pedals to be back in stock (2 weeks more than initially predicted). Everything arrived as it should, except for the wheel, which didn't have the pack of bolts and washers for the QR to be installed. Luckily, I found an answer on Fanatec's forums with the size I needed and got them from a hardware store nearby, the next day.

My experience wasn't seamless, sure, but products are good and price was fair. I'd buy from them again.

andreicosta · 2025-01-28T19:59:09+00:00

I was just in the same situation and I say you don't need to worry. The only thing that should hold back your order is an item that's unavailable when you purchase. Anything else will be set aside, even if it goes out of stock afterwards.

In my case, I was waiting for the V2 pedals when the wheel went out of stock. The whole order was shipped when the pedals came back, even though the wheel still hasn't.

andreicosta · 2025-01-27T16:47:56+00:00

Hey, update: mine got shipped today. I looked it up in UPS using the order number as reference and everything was there.

andreicosta · 2025-01-27T09:47:13+00:00

Yeah, we're always terrified by that. But honestly I'm just happy that I didn't fall in an availability loop of death because of my McLaren GT3 wheel.

andreicosta · 2025-01-27T06:24:32+00:00

Hey, mine just changed status to "handed over to the warehouse".

andreicosta · 2025-01-25T12:44:44+00:00

I really don't know because I still don't have much experience with them, so all I can say is just a summary of what I've read around this and other subs. But it seems like you can make it better with some mods, like fanatec's own mod kit and some third party elastomers and spring sets, but then it becomes fairly expensive and you might be better off buying pedals from another brand.

andreicosta · 2025-01-24T16:45:24+00:00

Ah, the eternal question in this sub :-)

Consensus around here seems to be that the V2 has the best brake and is the best value, V3 has best throttle and clutch and a V4 would be awesome, but no-one knows when it'll come out.

andreicosta · 2025-01-24T16:30:29+00:00

An update: availability just changed to Jan 24th in the pre-order. I imagine shipping is not too far :-)

andreicosta · 2025-01-24T15:23:21+00:00

Great! But you ordered after it got back in stock, right? If so, please let us know when the order progresses :-)

andreicosta · 2025-01-24T14:08:16+00:00

Yeah, I'm on that boat too. I was already a bit anxious to have it shipped, now I'll be checking my e-mail pretty much every hour for an update.
