Yes
Seriously mate you can feck off with that shit....last night I passed the ball at pretty much every oppurtunity I got, and got myself 4 assists in the process. Meaning I am now joint 3rd in the assist charts.
So like I said, feck off.
Oh right...yeah that makes a lot more sense. I though you meant you'd scored 8 goals tonight
Here ya go...

Here's my taking of where we lack on the pitch, it's no critisicm at all, just tips and tricks.
POSITIONING
Posi-what? We seem to not care about this, the arrows before our players' feet mean we are somewhere we shouldn't be.
Stamping on another player's feet means less space and more difficulity in handling the ball. Also, while positioning
yourself incorrectly in attack, you leave gigantic spaces for the opposing side to make full use of on counter-attacks.
I don't know how many times I've seen us have 4 strikers up top (wingers staying up, out of position) while getting
counter-attacked. I think the midfielders are worst in this area, way too attacking.
DEFENCE
As everybody knows defence is quite boring, but somebody has to do it. Try to make it properly while doing so.
Defenders rarely gets the ball, so when they do people try to make something spectatular of their seconds in
the spotlight by passing their way through tights situations in our own box. Clear the fecking ball unless your
100% sure a smart pass would solve it. Don't pass the ball to the keeper unless it's your single option.
ATTACKING RUNS
When a midfielder has the ball every single attacking player make runs forward, all in the very same direction
which isn't too smart. Try spreading over the width of the pitch and create area for OTHERS and not just yourself.
You can see how 4 players stand on the exact same spot (around the penalty spot) when a winger is about
to cross it into the box. A very good tip here is to keep your eyes on your player and the players around him
instead of looking blinded on the ball. Also, try adjusting your pace after the players your making runs
with, looks rather stupid when 4 players run in line.
PASSING
Almost all of our passes are foward. IMO, we should try rolling the ball around a bit before all commiting to the
penetrating through ball. In keeping possession, I think the opposition gets frustrated, which in every case is
to our advantage. I don't know what you think about low crosses but I have never seen a good one, crosses
should be aimed at the far post where its much easier heading it backwards or at goal. Pass and move,
pass and move. Save those exhausting runs across the lenght of the pitch, use the energy bar wiser.
MENTALITY
We seem to concede early goals quite often, that is not good for the outcome of the game. Wether this
be down to lack of concentration or something else, I don't know. I think we all agree it's more pleasant
holding a lead or extending it rather than chasing equalizers. Anyhow, I've also seen us losing our
heads when being down to 2 or 3 goals, instead of going for salvaging goals for the teams' stats we go on
getting trashed 6/7-0. All in all, I think we all are too egoistic, we need more team play. Should be worth
mentioning I too am failing at all above.
5 clubs want my services but I remain committed to the Redcafe cause.
In the future, only god knows.
To be fair Pavan, you were absolutely shit with Ronaldo. Lost the ball countless of times.
Nothing personal. Everybody makes misstakes but you sounded overly confident.
Then again, an error at the back may cause a conceded goal while a clear missed sitter by a striker goes unnoticed.
Got this game yesterday. Can I also play?
