West Ham play like Everton, big man up front direct balls pick up the pieces and knockdowns. Once pegged back they then just knock the ball about the defence and hit it long once out of ideas.

Started well, then Everton started to overlap on the fullbacks (done their homework) and eventually a lucky ricochet fell for their equaliser, after that their tails were up and we were battered for the rest of the half. 2nd half we competed and done a lot better, maybe even had the better chances. How horrible is Evertons football, constant pass round the back and then the big lump to Felliani...who bossed us around big time. I guess its a results game and winning by playing ugly can't be knocked! We play nice and get smashed....haha

'Toffees fan Adam Lallana' something I didn't know...

Remember playing this a lot as a kid....getting your nominated team from div4 to div1...think the player rating system was a skill level from 1 to 9...pretty basic but fun at the time! http://www.mobygames.com/game/zx-spectrum/football-director/screenshots

Loved the fact that Arsenals goal came from a corner where Man Citeh were man marking but it was not brought up about it being at fault. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

true

I hope our defence is on their toes due to the amount of shots he parries. Concerns me the amount that go straight back into the danger area on that highlight reel.

although the challenges are new and some will like, it seems all the fancy graphics are just updates on existing options. Adding extra matchday graphics is good if you use them. Only plus to the way I play is the coaching system from what I can see, hope they also fix the regens coming through the system. Multiple times had the best scouting system, youth setups etc and getting feckin crap players nearly every season. Think in my Milan game I didnt have a decent home grown player in 10 seasons or more.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Boruc in goal from here on in. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

goal difference looking much better too!

What a turn around...look forward to taking the **** out my Villa supporting mates tomorrow now! First win on the board!!

Game Over!

game over

probably just an update to the database and some minor changes as usual. Yet still suckered into buying it.

Wouldn't be the first time, remember him bigging up Forlan when he went to Utd and he go that totally wrong. I'm taking the fact Bologna fans were gutted at seeing him go as being a good sign. Also I can guarantee that if he had signed for Liverpool, Spurs or whoever he would be getting a hell of a lot more press about the positive side of his game.

Isn't he on international duty? Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Same Borac who was pretty rubbish at Celtic in his last couple of seasons or a different one? Some decent experienced players out there through, worried why they are still clubless tho. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

ah well least I'll get to see him play this coming season...

I got this fear he is going to get crocked playing in the international games before even kicking a ball for us!...

Quite a few saints mentions in that article, also interesting seeing as a team we run about more it seems than anyone else, maybe why we are knackered come the last 10mins!

Trouble is for Fox now is Ramirez is a specialist set piece taker so I imagine Fox won't get much of a look in if both on the pitch.

Depends on his personal motivation at this stage of his career, play for bigger bucks (even though I can't imagine he is needing the cash - then again I thought that about Drogba) or play in the bigger spotlight.

http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/910507-southampton-offer-contract-to-free-agent-alessandro-del-piero Its where I read the 15k from...its nearer 16k actually

Played 23 times for the team that won Serie A last season which suggests he still has something about him. Model professional from what I've read about him too which can only help the younger players, and would be a great PR stunt to. 15k a week was said somewhere on these forums, not over the top by any means.

reminds me of us getting Beattie, I thought his first couple of seasons he was crap but improved remarkably in the following years. Think the price tag doesnt help JR here.....
