xx11 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Well i cant help you with your bad luck Hope you get it sorted though. Horrid trying to restart a game and not being able to get your team back how you had it. Just had one the most tense matches since I started FM08. Was a semi final match against Real Madrid in champions league Semi-final Leg 1 - Home This first leg at home was a horrid result. I was losing 2-0 after 60 minutes even though it was a very tight game. I just had no luck infront of goal whereas they did. In the 91st minute the score was pulled back to 1-2 with Vidic getting up at the back post from a Nani corner. This did not have the feel of good things to come though, conceeding 2 away goals was bad enough, however it was worst because amoungst the numerous bookings was Rooney, Ronaldo and Ferdinand, 3 key players. The bookings meant missing the 2nd leg away. semi final leg 2 - away Was hoping for the best, but really didnt think the luck would be with me, my fears were right. The first 30minutes both teams going at each other relentlessly. Knowing we needed at least 2 goals my team really attacked. However things looked bad when Pique tripped Robinho in the box. 30minutes gone, 1-0 down in the Bernabeu. I was not liking this. Come Half time it didnt look like I was going to get the result I needed. Especially with my patched together team, as not only was I without Ronaldo in midfield, I had lost Dos Santos to injury also. My attacking prowess was deminished without Rooney, Ronaldo and Dos Santos. All whom pull it out in big games. Second half was away and finally got the breakthrough, Rossi intercepted a pass and played Tevez through who lobbed the ball over Casillas. Looked like we may yet have a chance. 1 more and we talking about extra time. We hit the 60 minute mark and Rooneys replacement, Zarate was slightly injured and needed treatment, however Madrid were not easing up and at this point Robinho put the ball in the back of the net from a rebound of his original shot. At this point all hope had gone out of me. Needed 2 goals in 30minutes against a Madrid side that seemed to strong to get through. Well due to Zarate injury, and my deminished team the young Buonanotte came into the rotating forward line. less then 10 minutes later he had us on level terms for the night. All 3 attacking players linked up and Buonanotte slotted in a parried Rossi shot. Once again, hope was returning. But it didnt last any more then 5minutes. Robinho eased past Pique and buried the ball in the back of the net. 15minutes to go and required 2 goals. Seemed impossible to me, but the team kept pushing just 2 minutes later and after a wonderful passing move Hargreaves slotted Buonanotte through and the youngster send the crowd wide by hitting a 25yrd scorcher. Real Madrid were furious, demanded on offside decision but it wasnt given. Miguel Torres kept pestering the ref, and on top of the match on the night being level, Torres saw Red for a 2nd yellow. 14minutes to go and I had the advantage. Now the final felt possible. We kept attacking, but Casillas just wouldnt be beaten again, and we reached the 90minute mark. 3minutes went up on the board and the noise level went up a notch. into the 92nd minute and it just seemed all too late, but Rossi popped up on the right wing and powered a cross into the 6yrd box where tevez was lurking. He volleyed the ball from 3yrds out straight at Casillas but from that range Casillas could only get in the block. Tevez pounced and put it in the back of the net. 4-3 up on the night, and for the first time in the tie managed to be in pole position due to away goals. Madrid argued the legitimacy of the goal but it stood anyways. We made it, but I tell you what, from my heart rate anyone would have thought it was the real thing. Now I get to look forward to a final against Barcelona. Let hope this year I can complete the quad having won the League and Carling Cup already, I be facing arsenal in the FA cup (whom are currantly joint 2nd with chelsea in the league but with a much better goal difference) as well as Barca in the champions league.

sniell Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Just won the league cup in fourth season, thats the third time I've won it. I went 2 goals down after just 11 minutes thanks to Liverpool's Torres and Gerrard. With things looking grim I went all out attack before Welbeck was fouled and Ronaldo scored the penalty. Half time score: Liverpool 2-1 United 15 minutes into the second half a Ronaldo corner was headed in by captain Rio. Then stupidly I made all substitutions meaning that when Lulinha got injured I was reduced to 10 men. Luckily after Torres missed a sitter I made it into extra time only for Gerrard to injure Ferdinand making me play the remainder of the game with 9 men. However I made it into penalties and won them 3-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
b101 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hey guys - been a while (uni work meant FM has been on the backburner for a while) but restarted my United season this morning - ended up winning the league on the final day whilst serving a touchline ban (complained about a goal that was blatantly offside ), beating Newcastle 4-0 to pip Arsenal to the post. So anyway, I've let a lot of players go (end of season 2), mainly Neville, Giggs, Scholes and VDS as they had passed their peak. Hopefully bringing in a very promising regen RB but this is my squad at the moment: Basically, I would like another striker as well as I'm not totally happy with Carlos - could move him on if need be. I'm looking at Cavani, Aguero and Benzema - all around £30M, but what else do you think I need? Budget of £62M Quick answer much appreciated!

Mickyttudes Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Thanks sniell & b101. And b101, I'd suggest you get someone like Huntelaar, fast and good in the air. I got him for 15M in first season. He's probably, the most intelligent striker in the game.Got 25+ assists for me all season. And why did u let those 4 legends go?

mr.rooney Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I might be a first time poster here, but I'm not new to this thread. I always play as United (the team I have always supported - I remember celebrating the Champions League win in 99 at the age of 8) first on a new FM game, and sometimes decide to change for later games. Having said that, despite having won the quadruple with United on both 06 and 07, I have never played beyond the first season on those games, and have completed a grand total of 4 seasons on the last two installments on FM. This is because I tend to get a bad result and then give up. However, I'm enjoying this version infinite times more, having completed the first season in record time and looking forward to the second season. I'm in pre-season at the start of the second season on my game. I won the quadruple in the first, having beaten Liverpool in the Champions League Final with Gerrard being sent off. Squad Tactic Champions League Final League Table Rooney played fantastic - Champions League Golden boot with 12 goals, at least 10 in the League and assists aplenty. I've never had him play so well so consistently - I normally struggle to get him average above 6. I have a £35million transfer budget,and would greatly appreciate some suggests for improvement at Right back, Left back, and Wingers. Long term improvements would be Akinfeev in goal, and a new central and defensive midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep giving Tevez a chance, he's probably your second best ST after Rooney. Yeah Tevez so far this season just seems to have clicked - looking immense with 4 in 3 (bit early but looking promising). Still, I brought in Cavani (£30M) and Silva (£34M) just for fun - love the budget adjustment! So probably now going to send Sinclair out on loan, and think I need to get rid of one centre back but not sure who tbh. Oh, also found this regen and snapped him up - had loads of big clubs chasing him but he was never going to go anywhere else: So this is my squad now: As I say, Sinclair's off on loan somewhere, and I'll lose a CB, probably Evans on loan again for one more season before I get rid of Brown. Overall quite happy with my squad though Oh and here are Criscito (cost £10M in Jan Season 1), and Giovinco (£25M before start of season 2) Criscito was a replacement for Vidic and to be honest I think he's about as good. Doesn't score quite as many from corners but in other respects he has formed a quality partnership with Rio and looks very solid generally. He made a few errors in his first season but seems to have cut them out of his game now. Definitely recommended! I mainly used Giovinco as a second option for Rooney but seems to have done well. Last season he managed 10 goals, 9 assists and 5 MOM from AMC in 20 starts with a fair few sub appearances. Tends to score very important goals as well. He's been brilliant as an AMC just sliding Tevez through at will. Again, go for it if you've got the money - I haven't found a better AMC yet! Hope that helps - cheers for the suggestions but had already splashed the cash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
