Takamaru Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Sometimes it's nice to just get a little light-hearted rant off your chest. Feel free to add your own. No heavy complaining please! My contribution: 3rd season at Newcastle, finding out that motivation can be a tricky thing Last 3 games in CL: R. Madrid - Newcastle: 0-1 win Newcastle - RB Leipzig: 5-1 win Newcastle - Paris SG: 3-2 win Last 3 games in EPL: Newcastle - Sheffield Utd: 2-2 draw Fulham - Newcastle: 2-0 loss Newcastle - Chelsea: 2-5 loss I'm sure it'll work out in the end.

XaW Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Not to be that "it's your tactics"-guy, but that could be your tactics, sorry. The CL matches seems like places you get loads of space and teams attack you, while I except Sheffield Utd and Fulham to be much more defensive minded and counter attacking against you. Of course, motivation also is a potential killer if the players get complacent! Never underestimate how well a thrown bottle works even if you win a scrappy win against a poor side!

XaW Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 As for light-hearted rant? I'm still having issues with Jack Joyce and his TNS in the Welsh leagues. Jack has scored 121 league goals in 4 seasons and have started the new one with 5 in 5! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sporadicsmiles Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 My current issue in my second season with Deportivo is smashing the best teams in the league before drawing or losing to relegation fodder. So I am sitting in first place, undefeated against the top half of the table, never beaten the bottom half. I am expected to get a midtable finish. I'm SO hard done by. Apparently I also have a motivation issue. On an even more light hearted note, a winger I do not rate came in to play a game due to injuries elsewhere... and absolutely smashed the game, scoring 2, setting up 1. Now I feel bad dropping him, because he earned a run in the team. Silly fool, why could he not have just sucked so I could go back to not playing him!

kiwityke Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 After 4 seasons of walking the league I suddenly find myself in a rather uncomfortable 3 way battle for the title! Do the other teams not know their sole role is to exist so I have teams to beat! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onto light-hearted rant nr2; Did that once after a pre-season friendly against a Portuguese 2nd division team which we drew 2-2. The team was very upset and called a team meeting saying I should not have been upset about their performance. Didn't sit well with me, so I kicked a chair and told them to shut it.
