Petrov is a very good player, my only problem now is that he doesn't have the engine to cope with Milner paying such an advanced position, but since the sort of DM we need will cost 15mil+, I'm content with Petrov.

Nice and defensive I see. Two attacking midfielders behind Stephen Ireland, can't see anything wrong there.

Would like Dorrans from Albion as I just saw it mentioned in the Rodallega thread, everytime I've watched them he's been impressive. Far too good for them and he looked a different class to everybody in the championship.

When all the goals are the same it is pretty boring.

Edit: Beaten to it

That, to me gets pretty dull pretty quickly though. But then I suppose if you're serious about wanting to do well, you play like that. Just no fun in it IMO

There is a big difference IMO on Fifa between winning football and good football. Winning games consistently doesn't mean good football, it most likely means alot of counter attacking, cut backs across the 6 yard box etc. Nothing wrong with it, but I always prefer to play good football, score some decent goals rather than the cut back tap in.

Not normally one to save goals, but this one made me celebrate a little. And yes, I'm playing as the baggies, but I hate being decent teams on this, little too easy.

It's not a problem that exists outside online either, if the computer has the AI to not screw up, why can't user controlled teams? The passing is my biggest problem online, So often a pass will go to the player wide left, rather than somebody at your immediate left, and touches are often heavy because of the lag, it's only slight but when you play offline you realise just how smooth it is compared to online. And finally, the game its self runs nothing like football, games are dependant, quite literally on having 2 strikers up front, hit it to them, bypass the midfield, hold it up and wait for the other striker to make a move in behind, seriously dull.

Can't tolerate this game online. I like to have fun when I play, and due to the slight lag you get with passing the ball etc it's just not possible. I've played it quite a bit, got to level 17 or something and won about 65% of my games. But Fifa 09 online was a better game IMO

Going to get this game depending on peoples reaction to it. It looks very good, but so many games have become a let down that I'd rather not take the risk buying it straight away.

Friedel MOM by a distance, Gabby had a good game too. Not over yet!

Milner!!!!!!!!!

PENALTY **** YES

Oooh Heskey, unlucky

For **** sake Downing, it's Stephen Carr, at least have a go.

With Friedel like this, we won't lose.

I would love Downing to score the winner, shut the haters up. Get in the game, Young.

It's only a matter of time until Collins scores a screamer, for a CB he has an outrageous touch on him.

Young needs to get into this game, barely touched the ball.

Everybody was average really. Hull were dire, we were slightly less dire. Voted Sidwell for MOM, just because.

Ash got skillz

Dunne is made of something else. Nothing keeps that man out.

You could, you know, not find constant negatives to post about.

Gabb! Thought he messed his chance just seconds before though not laying it to Carew.
