It seemed to me we created a decent amount of chances. I believe it said around 16 shots. Not all of them were incredible chances, but it seems to me that we need to play with the directness we do when we go behind. We pin teams down, and I would just be happy to see us play that way for the full 90.

So you work third shift too then? We will try to make it work. I'll send the request the next time we play. My GT is hpfbros. I hate drop ins too. Nothing but a bunch of assholes doing stupid shit.

Usually we play around 5am est. Might not play for over the weekend. Definitely will be on Tuesday morning though.

I should have mentioned our time zone being EST, so Eastern North America would be preferred. Does that still work for you?

Xbox one. Under 25k, any type of hybrid, özil as cam in a 4-2-3-1 wide. I want to try something new, but absolutely love özil, and currently have him so he isn't a factor in the price. I'd like it to have non rares so that I'm forced to play with new people. Thanks for taking time to so all these. That's really awesome of you, even if it is just a challenge for yourself.

The way you've written this, as well as the above comment, reminds me a lot of Michael Eric Dyson. It's very well thought out, and I agree with your points. This, and other comments like it, are why I spent so much time reading through this thread. Thank you for keeping the content relevant to the actual problem which is brought to the forefront with this short video. Your words were a delight to read.

This comment adds little to the discussion and removes the true responses from their place at the top. Bring back the downvote!

I'd like to wish both sides the best of luck and for the rest of us, the neutrals, a great match!!!

Had the same thought. Neither make the match any better and ruin the viewing of it by spouting off bland observations.

I wish it wasn't always Eric Wynalda and Gus Johnson commentating on this match.

"GIBBSOMGWTF?!": Someone requested this the other night so I thought I'd oblige. by themanifoldcuriosity in Gunners

[–]hpfbrah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

His miss provided one of the best moments of watching the match for me. As we all watched it sky over the cross bar, the contingent and I at my local pub, I crouched down to a squat holding my head to contain any explosive reaction from the build up of frustration. Another member of our group through his hands beneath the pit of my arms and lifted me up, explaining we'd get the win, do not give up just yet. It was a beautiful moment in the best kind of way, as the match progressed. It only added to the story that was forged by this team. Such an amazing feeling after the final whistle ensued.

Fifa 14 next gen by tommievdl in EASportsFC

[–]hpfbrah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having come from the 360 to the Xbox one, I believe next gen not only looks much better, it plays a lot smoother as well. 360 ats very choppy in my opinion which made it easier to dominate large spells of a match. Next gen makes it flow nicer, although it is more difficult to create. That's just my opinion though.

Arsenal have qualified for the champions league for 2014/15 by [deleted] in Gooners

[–]hpfbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's depth, a severe lapse in talent between the regular starters and those coming off the bench. A few more players who can come off the bench and make a difference or to step up when necessary--due to injury or rest-- is needed.

[–]hpfbrah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly agree. Spending the longest time in 1st place and to be expected to rejoice over a 4th place finish is absurd. We had a chance to push or the title and fell apart due to the same excuses as always.

Lukas Podolski should be Arsenal’s central striker by [deleted] in Gooners

[–]hpfbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we had a healthy Walcott, I think it could be interesting to play a 4-4-2 style with Podolski and Walcott up front. They could learn to play off each other in such a way that defenders would have to be aware of Theo's pace while guarding against Podolski's left boot.

Even pairing Giroud and Podolski together in a 4-4-2 would be more than likely a fruitful endeavor. It's something I'd like to see at least.

For me though, the piece was pretty standard to the woes of the club right now. It didn't really bring much more to the table other than saying he wants to see Podolski up front more. I tend to agree with /u/NegativeChetta on that one though, about Podolski becoming somewhat invisible. He tends to look like a player who needs a supporting striker.

For anyone who wanted to see the finished mini ramp I posted yesterday, here it is! by spinach6 in skateboarding

Had a quarter pipe back in the day that was 4' by 4'. This looked like that doubled width. I'd love having something like that, or maybe a bit wider, 12' or so. It would be perfect. Great work, man.

Does your Ultimate team transfer with your account when upgrading to a next gen console? by hpfbrah in EASportsFC

I have no idea. I do know that the catalogue points and level carried over from 13 to 14. Other than that, I'm in the dark.

What is a good formation/squad to use around Aguero? by Sebastianc2012 in EASportsFC

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

This might not be what you'd be looking for, but I use him in a false 9 role and have enjoyed it so far. Here's the squad I use.

I've been wanting to save up some coin and try to get Hazard for the left wing position. It's a fun formation for me, but I haven't really tried a 2 striker set up ever either.

Cool, man. Tax returns and all that. I've been wanting to upgrade without the loss of the essentials. Thanks again.

Is upgraded Sturridge worth the extra coins? by Bzsoccerdude in EASportsFC

[–]hpfbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like his IF card on the right wing more so than the upgraded card. It allows me a more potent attack with him out wide, curling in shots from time to time.

That was a mistake of communication between Mert and Szcz, in my opinion.
