Re: The Official Xbox 360 Thread

BF3? Yeah, looks amazing...but only played the multiplayer so far. It's in open beta now if you fancied trying it! MW3 is great too. Spec Ops is awesome! Enjoying PES, no question. PS3 version is the way to go imho. What is the advantage of the PS3 version out of interest? Until the embargo is up, ...

Sadly I'm not allowed to talk about PES 2012 for a few more days.

Keep shouting FACT though, makes you look like you know what you're talking about. :-)

Re: The Only way is Up? - The Gooners match thread

Elmander and Taylor were our hardest workers and covered more ground than anyone else. I'd suggest we are missig the selfless contributions they gave for the team more than anything else. It is quite likely that their workrate allowed us to play the 4-4-2 system last season as they were prepared to...

Re: The Only way is Up? - The Gooners match thread

The thing is...Coyle is clearly a good motivator, but it seems he's just a shit tactician, and honestly - I'm wondering if he's just too nice a chap. Look at the QPR game, Warnock tried to play 4-2-4 (the way we sometimes do), and he realised "I've been battered here by Bolton" so changed it, and ha...

Re: The Only way is Up? - The Gooners match thread

You can be the best full back in the world, but if you are in a formation that is basically 4-2-4 with no support from the wingers defensively, you're gonna get savaged over and over, and crosses will rain in. Attack is the best form of defence? Yeah, if you want a game that ends with scorelines lik...

Re: Aaaaaaaaanyway, Norwich at Home.

Klasnic was stupid and the conventional wisdom seems to be that doing that is a sending off (though as Bruce said today - in what sense can what he did be considered 'violent' conduct? Did anyone else see Davies make that point in a hilariously vivid way by doing exactly the same to Howard Webb?!)....

Re: Aaaaaaaaanyway, Norwich at Home.

For me this is almost entirely about Coyle's matey matey-ness with the players, and a complete inability to change up formation when it needs it. We have the players to go 4-2-3-1, and it's clear we should be doing it because we have shit "first choice" strikers, wingers who can't defend, and defens...

Re: Aaaaaaaaanyway, Norwich at Home.

When did it get so bad that we were playing people out of position anyway?

We've just had a transfer window ffs!

Boyata is a centre back first, not a right back.

Tuncay isn't a right winger in a 4-4-2.

Re: Aaaaaaaaanyway, Norwich at Home.

I never had Coyle down as "gutless", but he's subbed the "CAPTAIN" three times now, so he shouldn't fecking start the next match.

Why buy N'Gog and not use him?

Changing the midfield nearly every other game?

Utterly bizarre management imho.

4-4-2 IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY A FOOTBALL MATCH OWEN.

Can't comment, as on both games I play with the sound off - but you don't always have to play Barcelona....there are ways. Anyhoo, had four games on each demo last night and at this stage I prefer the Pro Evo one, the usual FIFA issues remain, but that aside the game is alright, but this version ha...

Re: The Official Xbox 360 Thread

That's the thing that bugs me about FIFA - one of many. It's no fun dribbling, because you get someone like Messi or someone like John Smith from Accrington all doing little feints and twists and turns and flicks etc that no player at that level could do. Same for volleys and long range shots - all...
