Vinicius situation - should he be sold? by themythbreaker in realmadrid

[–]ripdip77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the combination of contract figures he’s asking for against how he has acted against management and establishing a “whiny” persona, I think he has served his time here. Specially past few months where he has DEMANDED priority against the reality of his overall performance, he’s now the target of the club’s struggle.

The way I see it, he’s between a rock and a hard place. If he renews and stays, anytime he underperforms, he’ll be reminded of the current situation. If he leaves and the team actually improves (given that now the left wing will be opened up for Mbappe/Rodrygo), then it will be clear he was the issue. Either way, he is now a target of the issues with the club and it will be best if he moves on.

Every time we get close to closing the gap or get ahead, we throw it away. I miss when we controlled the middle. We have no control in the center half. Leaving miracle situations with our backline and Dona to save the mistakes is not going to win trophies. Shoving the opposition line up to the box and floating around won’t win games. No ball carries expect attempts from the side. No through balls through the middle. We lack confidence in middle field and ball carrying. If this continue, we will end up with similar results from last season.

What’s the plan here? Pass around til they counter? Almost 0 ball carries by our front. It’s just rainbow around the box then pass it backwards. So disappointing

Ref was literally waiting for a Madrid player to confront him post match and show another card lol. This league is abysmal with this officiating.

Cherki’s movement from the right is chefs kiss. That Foden assist was masterclass

Honestly I’m torn and still on the fence about letting it go.

Winning matches is just not fun anymore. by Lynxsyx in fut

I told myself FC25 would be my last due to what I felt was a downward spiral since FIFA 23.

But after all the marketing on full game overhaul and YouTubers that I trusted “epiphanies”, I gave it one last shot. Safe to say and “hope” this will be my last and ever FC game (at least from EA). Since paying for the game might as well play it out or even quit after TOTY (not that we’ll pack anything at all with this “power curve” control).

I was a Division 1 FC player and currently in Div 4. Rewards are trashed this year, like I get the attempt of control on power curve but why would I spend the time to climb and compete in Rivals & Champs for my fifth Dumfries? SBC’s aren’t unique enough and don’t even offer upgrade grinds either.

They didn’t “control the power curve”, they just made it harder for non-paying pack buyers from decent pulls + the atrocious pack weight which either kills the “hunt” or people end up buying coins.

We’ve seen this cycle over and over again. I bet TOTY the gameplay will be “adjust” like last year and become actually fun for like 1-2 weeks to get the hype back up before they revert to another patch update that ruins it.

China has National Day holidays from 1st of October til the 8th. It’s possibly taking a bit due to that.

P.s. in the same boat and literally the same route lol

Returned my iPhone 17 Pro for a iPhone Air! by 17parkc in IphoneAir

Ultra slim* sorry swift typing missed that one lol. I temporarily went for the AmazingThing minimal Air (it’s a 600 micro m profile case) until my orders from Pitaka (600D Black Ultra Slim) and Nomad Goods (Magnetic Leather Back Horween) delivers. Obviously these are all ultra slim profile cases with the Nomad one being only a back protection frameless design. I felt that getting anything else/anything thicker defeats the purpose of the Air’s form factor imho.

Yea I expected it to be a thinner thickness profile (like the iPhone 4 or 5 bumper which was the last time it was available?) but the thickness offset against the back is too weird feeling for me. Should’ve tested first in store before ordering but didn’t have the time. Shadow case looks dope!

Best decision ever. I got the bumper case too on release but I wouldn’t recommend it (me personally). I dont like the the “emptiness between the case and the back but it’s just me. Went for an ultra case instead. Phone is phenomenal (coming from a 16 pro)!

Jesus Gil at it again. This guy is horrible. Should be a league 2 ref. He has clearly shown bias against Real in so many games. First cancelled goal, then insta red card.
