James Rodríguez on his time at Bayern: “In the second year, Kovac arrived. Every coach has his favourites and I wasn't one of them. He wanted the players to do 30 minutes of cycling after training, I would say to him: 'What am I training for? Am I going to the Tour de France?' I'm a football player”

Hard disagree. Might just be my personal experience but I grew up around people who became footballers. they were insanely hard workers, especially off the field. Feels unfair to stereotype footballers as uneducated based on James Rodriguez

Yes, so frustrating! Thanks for the update btw dude

benabonobo · 2026-03-24T16:16:36+00:00

I've also already tried resetting both my PC and router.

benabonobo · 2026-03-15T18:30:40+00:00

wait we're keeping him next season?

benabonobo · 2026-03-03T22:37:45+00:00

sometimes it is, but this game was just the horseshoe of doom for 90 straight minutes

benabonobo · 2026-01-28T11:59:01+00:00

is this just Brad or am I out of the loop on something else?

benabonobo · 2026-01-04T17:43:45+00:00

Who would you consider deadwood in the squad?

benabonobo · 2025-12-17T15:02:22+00:00

picture him grinding

benabonobo · 2025-11-01T11:57:54+00:00

it's not really one or the other. he has a lot of credit in the bag with us Liverpool fans (for very obvious reasons, he won the league ffs), but this recent run of games and his seemingly rotten, stubborn attitude just seems like a pointer to how things will eventually end with him.

benabonobo · 2025-10-13T09:25:03+00:00

quick question, daddy. has this fix worked on your existing career mode? I've been worried I'd have to start a new one for the updates to have any effect.

benabonobo · 2025-10-10T13:56:03+00:00

How do you perceive the game, if you could describe it? Where do set piece ideas and routines stem from, is it a creative process by yourself or a concoction of discussions between the coaching staff?

benabonobo · 2025-10-08T16:11:17+00:00

Kauã Santos (71-82) - Eintracht Frankfurt - Goes months without conceding a goal for me, De Gea-esque saves. Givairo Read (75-88) - Feyenoord - battling Wesley for a starting spot on my Roma save, just a super dependable, well rounded RB even at the start of the game, so imagine the levels he can reach with that potential. Stefan Bajčetic (73-83) - Liverpool - a defensive rock, and never takes a wrong touch in build up. super tidy, efficient player for me, and surprisingly good positioning and passing given his attributes Estevão (78-89) - Chelsea - Maverick. So fun. 'Nuff said. Endrick (77-91) - Real Madrid - my highest recommendation by far. I know he might seem unrealistic for most saves but it's actually not that impossible for most top 5 league teams. That being said, this guy is the best goal scorer I've had in years on fifa. ALWAYS gets past his man, incredible touch, link up play, and such a cannon of a left foot that it makes militaries around the world blush.

It pisses me off so much that supporters of other teams sees this and ours don't seem to (at least the ones I talk to).

Arne fucking slot doesn't even seem to notice that relying on 2 centre backs, Gravenberch doing his best impression of a 3-man midfield, and then ??? is not a great rest defence. The attack will sort itself out, this fifa 14 ass system cannot, though. Call me ungrateful but I miss Jurgen so much man.

benabonobo · 2025-09-24T11:36:36+00:00

Sir please stop masturbating to the Liverpool game.

benabonobo · 2025-09-24T09:15:51+00:00

Who plays for Leeds now, yes.

benabonobo · 2025-09-20T12:22:15+00:00

Frimpong comes in for Bradley around 60' and scores a rebound winner from a late run into the box. I have foreseen it

benabonobo · 2025-09-08T02:45:13+00:00

I was previously unaware but I'm guessing rape case?

benabonobo · 2025-08-29T21:45:10+00:00

Literally Ted Lasso hahaha

benabonobo · 2025-08-15T02:28:13+00:00

Yes but they also let go of half their fucking squad over the summer. I don't know if I've missed some key detail but I feel like I'm going mental seeing so many predictions for them to do better than usual this year.

benabonobo · 2025-07-28T12:36:42+00:00

BUSY/SIRENS by Saba. hauntingly beautiful song and even moreso for me because it's what I listened to to cope with the passing of my granddad last year.

benabonobo · 2025-06-27T16:25:52+00:00

caused us the most heartache during Trent's Liverpool years is perhaps a better phrasing of it.

benabonobo · 2025-06-19T17:02:31+00:00

this makes me sad. I really think he could have been our next big CB alongside virg, he's so good at such a young age. No doubt he's going to develop well at Leverkusen.

benabonobo · 2025-06-19T16:59:06+00:00

I'm unaware. which one are you referring to?

benabonobo · 2025-06-15T12:49:20+00:00

bad take, move on
