Shaky Start
I'm hard to please.....I want FM to be as realistic as possible, but when it means my team getting beaten, I'm less than impressed.
It all started so well, the opening game of the season:
Liverpool 5 (Pjanic 2, Lucas, Aguero, Doudin) Birmingham 0
But this was followed by a less convincing draw at Upton Park:
West Ham 1
Liverpool 1 (Torres)
I was still top of the league due to everyone else being a bit slow off the mark, but the fixture list was not kind. A tricky trip to the Emerites next. Now I love a bit of passion from my players but you kinda hope the one time Stevie G lunges in 2 footed on someone each season, it isn't going to be when you are already one down away to the Gooners. Garay's second yellow didn't help either.
Now that's a perfectly acceptable defeat I guess, especially with 9 men. Home to Man City next and I should be back on track? Nope...already my season is looking bleak...4 games in!
This wouldn't be so bad if my next game wasn't at Stamford Bridge. What do I do? Has the AI sussed my tactic? Do I try one more time before making changes? If I lose will this thread come to an abrupt halt?
It's early days but this doesn't make happy reading for the board....
