I AM SO FUCKING MAD
So it's my first season playing with Leverkusen (playing FMC mind you) - first game I've had going since I had and FMC game on 13 with Schalke, all good. I find FMC more appealing but that is NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
Backstory - So season was going okay, I was lurking 3rd to 6th, no problem, had some issues. Had a game vs Bayern in mid november, after trying to go conservative I find nothing working so I try something new, I go and press, try to hassle and play aggressive. It works well and I get the draw and after I changed Bayern don't stand a chance. So I decide to start each game with this, much pressure and try to get a lead going and then calm down, and boy does it work, I go on something like a 8 game winning streak in the league. Before this mind you I had qualified from my CL group of Real Madrid and PSG, left PSG in the dust.
Well enough about that, come 2nd and go for the CL draw whilst I'm tearing up the Bundesliga. I get R. Socidad. !! Great news, a team I have a real chance against, lets go lads.
The form keeps going, during the christmas break I'm 2nd in the league 1 point from Bayern, after the break I even do well, I have 3 games in the league before R. Socidad, I win all of them and take the 1st leg vs them at home a solid 2-0. No away goals and a good display, I got thiiiiiis.
3 league games inbetween the CL games. I play 3 mid-table teams. start with a draw. NBD - I'm still good in the league and I had lots of CCC's. next game - another draw. 3rd game I loose 3-2 after conceding 2 corner kicks goals but I pushed Hannover to the brink, should actually have gotten the equalizer. My teams looking alright just not getting the luck I feel we deserve.
Comes the 2nd leg - we travel to Spain and I think, just go in with what's been working, pressure them - try to get the away goal and we are golden. Griezman scores 5th minute, okay lets chill a little, we've had 25% possession the first 20 minutes. We get to the 2nd half at 2-1 us on agg.
Okay lads, that first half was bad, not a single shot and 35% possession, but we can hang on. WELL I GUESS NOT.
SECOND HALF I CONCEDE NOT ONLY 1, 2 OR EVEN 3 GOALS - NOOOOO THEY SCORE 4 GOALS - OR WELL I SCORED 2 OWN GOALS OF COURSE. THEY RUN ME RAGGED, MY TEAM PLAYS THEIR ABSOLUTE WORST GAME OF THE SEASON AND WE GET KNOCKED OUT. FAN FUCKING TASTIC.
AND THE WORST PART? I CAN'T EVEN POUR MY RAGED HEART INTO THEM BY ANY MEANS IN FMC - THEY PRICE I PAY TO PLAY A STREAMLINED VERSION.
I AM MAD
- feel free to blow off steam in this thread, I know what this game can do to you.
