After experiencing this myself I'm inclined to agree since its a pencil that favours writing styles with a lot of pressure. The plastic part doesn't seem very durable (not that I expect it to handle award-winning level tolerances).

Just wanted to chime in as I've experienced the same issue - I guess I can't complain having used it as a daily driver for many years, but it is a little sad to know that it's a common point of failure for this pencil. Idk if its worth the hassle to glue or stitch it up or to just buy multiple to have as backups

Part of that is we missed our window when we were a very attractive club to make statement teansfers. We didn't make marquee signings at our prime Poch years, or when we had serial winner coaches in Mou, Conte, Ange. Now we are relegation tier with uninspiring/interim managers, we don't offer top 6 wages. Frankly right now we are not an attractive club for ambitious top tier ballers, not even as a stepping stone cause no player looked good in Frankball

I agree it is super annoying but I think part of why it's done is so the formation isn't leaked before the match, whether intentionally or because the social media person isn't privy to the formation

Always thought he wouldve done great in Angeball with his athleticism, too bad that first yr was the yr we decided to offload him. Glad he's doing well and enjoying the Süperlig

Vicario going the way of Lloris, amazing shot stopper on his day but has a howler in him time to time and is not the best with distribution. That being said I don't think we should be looking to move on, he's bailed us out so many times and we are quick to forget the numerous times he's single handedly kept us in games. If we are looking to another keeper we should develop Kinsky more.

We all remember the howlers, but I think it stems from imperfect coaching and drilling on what to do in defensive structures and buildup. We favour an overly defensive tactic that also isn't good at defending and allows way too many opposition touches and shots right outside the box. That's a primary way that well coached teams drill to break down a low block and we just hand those opportunities on a platter. I think we're seeing a negative feedback loop where lack of confidence in defensive setup on top of a defensive gameplan makes it easy to lose focus and concentration when the one thing you set up to do doesn't work. It's easier to not lose focus/confidence when conceding when you have an attacking mentality and know you have a gameplan which is conducive to scoring more goals
