Taz & The Devil Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Nick the United FM data. I am not into playing FM these days, i had my 15 season Notts Forest game and now cant face playing the game again for a long while. My question with the new data update is which players have you tuned to make better or worse? I know that you wont always see an improvment when you first load up the game but all i really see thats different is Paul Scholes seems to rightly have been brought up a few notches. And with the players on loan in the game like Foster, Pique, Evans and Rossi, were you able to edit them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz & The Devil Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 We were just awful. I have no idea what Fergie was thinking dropping Nev because it looked like Brown was going out of his way to taunt Nev with his awful performance. Anyway despite Fulham deserving all three points we got them. Ronaldo to the rescue again, how i love that kid. Where was Fletch as well? Could have done with him today considering Carricks performance. Ref must also get a mention for his joke of a performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Jimlad Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 MOM: Edwin Van der Sar 2ND: Rio Ferdinand As everyone always says: if you can play badly and win then you can be champions. Three points today was absolutely necessary but Fulham deserve a lot of credit for their performance even thought they’ve ultimately come away with nothing. We’re probably going to have to do this more often if the fixtures keep piling up. My MOM votes are based on how we played before Ronaldo’s moment of inspiration (however awesome those few seconds were). VDS saved us multiple times in the second half and Rio was our only defender looking assured today. Wes’ distribution was terrible all game and Vidic was culpable for our goal. No midfielder deserved it really since Fulham bossed us there with their physicality, though Giggs had an okay game in my eyes. Rooney and Larsson too isolated until the game got stretched late on so neither were in contention for me (even if Rooney crossed for our goal). Subs all did okay. Come the hell on! Oh and our away support deserve plenty of kudos again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirZ Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I thought Giggs was your most dangerous player till he went deep into midfield. Ronaldo looked good from the moment his first flick went through early in the game. Rio & VDS with very important contributions but VDS ****ed up for the goal.

Confused Clarity Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 can anybody explain to me why we're continuing to play Larsson? He's been fracking woeful for us more often than not.

The bounce was never taking it far enough for VDS to get clean contact from under Nemanja's body with the Fulham player at his back. Don't get me wrong, VDS is culpable to a certain extent but Vidic was more at fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
