Playing defensive midfield was fine, I think it's important that whoever plays there actually plays defensive midfield. Generally we play with two defensive midfielders but too often we have both pushing forward leaving the back-line utterly exposed to counter attacks. If one or both stay back it leaves those playing further forward in far more space, offers a safer pass when there's nothing on going forward and helps us keep our shape and break up the opposition play.

The only thing I'd say is that sometime I was given the ball in the middle of the pitch and no-one showed for a pass. That said I thought having Eggy further up gave us a bit more height for long balls and crosses.

Jonno I think it's a bit of both b) and c), you were good at ANY and nicely composed on the ball. Having you or Phat controlling the defence makes such a big difference.

I always find it funny when there's like 6 of us in the box. Sometimes it's like we play 4-0-6

I started a new club the other night, I'll set up a game with you's when I get in enough bodies if you're on for it. Might do some kind of Ashes event between the 2 sides.

**Jonno394** · 07-12-2011, 10:22

So wait, Mick Bastards FC has collapsed?

**Dundon's** · 07-12-2011, 10:29

Aye, the Bastards are gone the wing. Gonna try my arm now at setting up another side.

I always play defensive, unless of course the move requires that you move forward at which times the other dm should hold as egg and I agreed when we played together there.

In regards to the passing options, at one point I thought it was personal, I was in space next you 80% of the time, granted it was a lateral pass, it doesn't always have to go forward right? that said I though you had your best games at DM played solid there.

**Dundon's** · 07-12-2011, 11:35

Red, you're wasted at this club.

Call me -_-

Don't take it personally red, he likes to think he's Lionel Messi at times, attempting to dribble through the whole team.

It's great when he pulls it off but when he doesn't it's incredibly frustrating. Original? did play well in the DM position though from what I remember.

To be fair, you don't play that often and my comment regarding DMs piling forward was more a general one than just last night. When I play CAM I often find myself playing deeper than some of the people who are playing DM. I find it difficult to play CAM when the DMs push up too much because it crowds out any space within which to operate. I agree it's fine to join the attack when it's called for but this doesn't necessarily mean storming into the box, maybe once in a while but I think when we join the attack we still need to consider the teams shape.

No, there was nothing personal I didn't feel you were there 80% of the time and when you were available you were in space but again you wouldn't have a pass on and I'd be putting you under unfair pressure. I feel I played better deeper but the space I was afforded was the main driver, I didn't really have anyone playing on top of me.

Sometimes it just seems to open up... if it's any consolation, if you think you're frustrated, it's nothing compared to how annoyed I get when I lose the ball. One thing I'd note on this is when I'm dribbling slowly, it's not that I'm trying to beat everyone it's usually trying to wait for people to straighten their runs to play the ball.

As for us:-

As in real life it is harsh to criticise when somebody is trying to do the right things, I find our team very tolerant, we all have good and bad days and it is a pleasure to be apart of it, my only general displeasure for the want of a better word is that we (collective) feel that every ball has to be a killer. when we get past that we will be a formidable side, we have some very good players amongst us

Good to hear.

This is what swung my decision. A post like this is a seductive calling card. Should be here for Friday but be warned: I won't be getting many accomplishments offline as I've already bloody done most of them on PC.

Unfortunately they will never get over that, too many heroes and egos in the same side to ever play the beautiful game correctly.

That will probably leave you on an even keel with most of us.

You would think that you could associate your VP to both PC and PS3 and use them on either platform, the data is already stored in the cloud.

Doubt it - this is EA. Not sure if that is the case for PC anyway as I have a file on my hard drive which I could easily hack if I wanted to or replace with one downloaded from elsewhere.
