Liverpool lead chase for Barcelona shot-stopper Victor Valdes

Is this for real? Somehow I doubt it... I mean, he surely is after big wages and although an improvement over Mignolet, I don't think he's worth it...

It's going to be really important too, because we're going to win the Champion's League and steal that 4th slot.


That must be the funniest thing I read all month!

When you play this type of football (super attacking) you are bound to concede some goals, but my god our defence is horse shit. Oh, and you can clearly see Rodgers tries to seal the games in the beginning, which means the team loses a gear or two (or three) in the second half (of those 70, close to 50 where scored in the first half).

A miracle for title this season (given our shit defence), but it doesn't matter, 4th place will make me a very happy man. I waited all my life for the title, can wait another season (or two ).

It was clear at the end Sturridge and (a frustrated) Suarez were getting in each others way, ergo Rodgers subbed Sturridge to leave Suarez alone in his pursuit for goal.

Initially didn't get subbing Allen for Sterling, but I guess Rodgers realized that we were overrun in midfield and with our shitty defence, an extra man in midfield was needed.

Sturridge is lethal. Get him up top in the WC and get the best out of him Roy!


For that need to take Sterling too

Somewhat strange couple of days in CL... all 4 games away team wins and home teams didn't score.

Nobody saying that it was not a penalty? It was a foul and deserved red card, but not a penalty. Reason: contact was outside penalty area, thus, according to the rulebook, not a penalty!

Also defies the laws of physics but whatever


Nope, actually is a smart use of the laws of physics... it's not like he's hovering above the ground, you can see the trail he leaves behind

I wasn't so much wondering about why he did it, as how he thought about it/pulled it off.


Thought as much. Anyway, things like this are instinctual, as in it comes naturally to some players... although it takes a talented player to have instincts like this ofc

Total Club Manager 2004! I know it's the other one, but it was before EA bought it and was my first football manager (always bought 17 year old Fabregas )

The official update with January transfers isn't out yet. Will be in the next few weeks. Nothing wrong with your game.

On the other hand, there are plenty of unofficial updates roaming the internet (and this site), but that's a slightly different story.

Well, yeah, I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one.


He needed to keep the momentum going without changing his feet to get a better touch at the ball with his left foot. Quite brilliant from him actually

Much ado about nothing, as you Englishmen say. Poor refereeing by Webb, deserved victory for Arsenal.

We could've won it despite the refereeing.

So, are we getting something this transfer window? We really need a holding midfielder since Lucas in so injury prone lately. Sad to see Selah and Matic go to Chelsea.

Played a couple of months of this and have to say it is a lot easier to find information, add players to shortlists etc but I'm not liking the fact that your team isn't highlighted when looking at the table or the fixtures. Anyone else slightly annoyed by this?


they fixed this 2 patches ago in 14.1.1...

but I agree with Nani17, much harder to sale players (in FM13 I almost always was able to sell players close to double their value by offering them... now I can barely sell them unless a club just comes for them... guess is a bit more realistic, maybe players don't want to leave and I have to unsettle my own players in the hopes I can sell them.. would have to test this), yet much easier to buy most players (I said most, as I unsettled Balotelli and he was transfer listed but for more than 100 million.. some are just expensive as hell)

Will this be released on Steam Workshop? I ask because the Steam Workshop work a little odd and it duplicates the graphics folder in a different folder structure which means that I have to either A) temporarily rename/move the graphics folder in order to access the steam workshop ingame for anything or B) have duplicates so I can access the steam workshop anytime and be able to update the packs

LE: scratch that.. the game takes ages to load with graphics indexed by steam workshop (due to the fact that it generates for each picture it's own folder and it's own xml file; also each time I start the game is looks for them or indexes them or whatever it does.. with face mega and icon pack and logo pack its about 1.26 million items in 10GB space).. best option it to handle big graphics packs manually like before and rename/move the graphics folder each time I need to access the steam workshop ingame

@cajee from British TV series Dr. Who, it's a Cyberman

and yeah, i finally wrapped my head around the loan system, all that live system with transfers.. all in all I'm loving FM14, all I need now is for SI to fix the panels during a match and to bring the dark skin and I'll be happy

Seems more buggy then the FM13 beta...

I can't seem to wrap my head around the loaning system. I am unable to loan to my club one player... they keep refusing me (club? player?) and no matter of the offers I make they keep refusing me

Another annoyance is the panels during match keep reseting their positions each time I navigate away from pitch or at half time... I use them for info during game and having to drag them off over and over again is a real pain.

All in all is just a beta, hope they sort out at least the most annoying bugs soon. Otherwise it's a decent update with some nice added feaures.

Haha, Shelvey couldn't set his mind for what team he was playing. He's either a very poor passer or he genuinely had trouble deciding who were his teamates
