andrew_wms Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Is it just me or are arsenal impossible to beat at the emirates?Ive had my fair share of bogey teams through the years,some in recent years like Man utd,Fulham or even wigan and west ham have been difficult places to go to,but as far back as early in the FM's i have never managed to take a single point from the emiratesIn fact they are the only team in the game siries i have never won against away from home,in fact,i dont recall getting a point against them. In FM 13 in my Chelsea and liverpool saves im 2 seasons through both and have played arsenal twice each save,as chelsea lost 3-0 first season and 3-0 2nd.....as liverpool 1st season i lost 6-1 there and 4-1 2nd season,this is despite the fact ive done quite well on both saves and qualified for champions league with both teams. Their overalll home record usually every season is pretty tame and usually never qualify for CL and end up mid table,but it seems when i play against them regardless they become god like.For a while i thought what the hell was i doing wrong with my tactics....it got to the point where all i thought i could do whenever i faced them was try a 5-4-1 defensive and try and stop them creating so many chances but dosent work at all.Im very afraid to talk to the media about the manager at all as all this does is seems to spur the arsenal players on even more. What about anyone else?Anyone else finding this fixture extremely difficult?or is it just me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmkz Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Usually when a team becomes my bogey team and I am expecting a close if not a loss, I come out guns blazing and attack. Both Manchester clubs used to give me a hard time but now I have beaten both of them at their home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthCraigus Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I have traditionally struggled against the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd away on FM. However, this time round I've played the Gunners once so far in my Newcastle save. Won 2-1 at the Emirates thanks to goals from Ben Arfa & Cisse, and I'm currently joint top along with them after 8 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodds' Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I used to hate Norwich and Southampton in the first few seasons, now it's Wolves and West Brom... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugster Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Teams like Arsenal and the Manchester clubs aren't bogey teams, they're just good teams who you aren't capable of beating. I find Aston Villa to always be a difficult game regardless of the team they have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalky1989 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Even though my team is miles better than them, They're the one team who cause me trouble, even though they're mid table on my game. I can beat Barca 5-0, but squeak past Arsenal by the skin of my teeth, or draw or lose to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranquelme Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Playing on FM12.. every time I have played Stoke in the Europa League they beat me. I dread them more than any other team if they qualify for Europe along with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sussex Hammer Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Played Arsenal away earlier. Was 3-0 down so pushed my defensive line up and went narrow. Got back to 3-2 and was in control. Then they had a man sent off and I didn't get a shot on target for the last 20 minutes. Only time ever I have wished Arsenal had 11 men on the pitch!!!

llDracoll Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 While managing Boca, I had a lot of problems when my team had to play against Arsenal de Sarandí. No matter how well we played in the last matches, no matter whether they were on a bad form or not, Arsenal was always a difficult team It could be because of its name...
