Admin Victor 10,926 Posted August 17, 2015 Admin Share Posted August 17, 2015 I mean they do win every second season based on my highly accurate sample of four seasons. Their struggles last season were overstated (basically 3 wins off the title) though I do believe that at some point keeping the same aging group of players leads to them not giving a shit anymore after all the money and trophies... but I guess there's still something left. On paper, they've probably been the best team without pause since 2011. jRuutu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagger 2,722 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Out of interest, when FM 2016 comes out, would anyone be interested in doing like a league save where we give the save game file to a different member after each month or couple of months simmed in the game? I really couldn't get into FM 2015 so I'm trying to come up with ways to get back interested and think this idea could be fun for those interested. gorlab, diamond_ace, Sixersfan594 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 5,119 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 City may have only signed Sterling, but if Yaya continues his form it's like they've got a brand new superstar. He's playing like he did 2 seasons ago - brilliantly. Liverpool were lucky to win that game against Bouremouth - 2 less than impressive wins but it's the Ws that count. Arsenal/Liverpool next weekend! jRuutu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 5,119 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hahah so true! As long as you can win, playing shittily wont matter at the end of the season - but while watching it, it blows/ is really unnerving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachReilly 688 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) I don't think we played too poorly. Coutinho had a couple of really good chances, Bournemouth keeper made an incredible save against Benteke just getting a finger on it. I thought our center backs and Gomez could have played a bit better despite clean sheet. Was a blatant foul on Bournemouth's goal, unless Lovren purposefully retracted his neck to miss the header. The Bournemouth player used Lovren as a launching pad, keeping the defender down and launching himself forward. The Benteke/Clyne signings look great. Excited to see how team looks when Sturridge gets back. Edited August 18, 2015 by CoachReilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,926 Posted August 18, 2015 Admin Share Posted August 18, 2015 I mean, Bournemouth's good goal was disallowed and Liverpool's goal was offside by the new rule. Apart from that, good win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 5,119 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Well credit to Bouremouth (my dad was born there so I have a soft spot for them) They played attacking soccer and tbh I can't believe they haven't yet scored in the 180 minutes. They defended well against us to and put together some dangerous and coherent attacks. I really hope they stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLastOlympian07 2,388 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) I'm a bit late i know but im finally catching up on my soccer, I just watched Man U against Tottenham and was very unimpressed. The game seemed slow to me and the only goal was a own goal from Kyle Walker. However Memphis put in a good show while Harry Kane seemed to have no support up front AFC Bournmouth vs Aston Villa has been a pretty decent game, Bournmouth have been attack attack attack but no finishing at all. Aston Villa have had no chances really except a corner that went in and lead 1-0 and it seems it will finish that way what are your guys thoughts?

Matt 11 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Just started picking up on Premier League this season and being from the USA, picking a team didn't come easy. I've watched both Arsenal games and Mesut Ozil is my favorite player. So it made some sense to start following them. I've always had some good knowledge of the BPL, but never followed it to any extreme. Hard not to side with a powerhouse club. It may have been against Club Brugge, but my god, Memphis Depay on ManU is something special. Edited August 19, 2015 by Matt Kendrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the Man utd vs Tottenham game was quite terrible game. I think it was the first game of the season for both teams.. so its only going to get better.

Tottenham is a fun team to watch , never know what is going to happen i enjoy watching Tottenham usually as like you said literally anything can happen haha just finished watching West Ham upset Arsenal in Week 1. Payet seems to be such a good talent. He is very fast and just has ice in the veins when he has the ball, you never know what hes going to do. While Arsenal was pretty flat footed except for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. I love Alexis Sanchez so i was disappointed to see him come off the bench. While the defence really let the team down while Petr Cech was underwhelming in this game. He should have had both goal imo Me and my GF's PVR was getting pretty full so i needed to delete a game from the past few weeks before i got to watch it and i chose to delete the Southhampton vs Newcastle game which seemed to be a bad choice as it looked like a pretty good game Edited August 20, 2015 by StevenStamkos91 jRuutu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
