Williamson got done by the tiniest bit of acceleration for their goal. He's the player equivalent of Pardews tactics.

He'll probably rest Gouffran and play him at the weekend when he should be dropped from both games and sold in January.

Any chance of Happy Face knocking up a comparison of win % with and without Gouffran? As soon as he's named on the team sheet Pardew sets up to be beaten.

Gouffran needs to be as far away from the starting line up as possible. Arsenal can be exploited even without sissoko so I'd bring in Abeid for Sissoko, Dummett to CB with Colo, Haidara at LB and have Cabella and Sammy on the wings. Not too fussed who starts out of Perez and Cisse as I think we should win this if he doesn't revert back to the tactics he played vs Burnley and West Ham.

Yup, they charge an astronomical amount for what you get for the money too.

Still find it baffling that in 2 winnable games he sets out negatively, which is exactly the reason why weve been so poor this year. He just can't adapt his tactics and resorts back to football that brings us no success. Bringing in Gouffran for these past 2 games is stupidly amazing, especially since it changed winning tactics for losing tactics.

Coming from a man who took 0 risks tonight.

Apparently back to 4-2-3-1 too. Knew it wouldnt last long until we got back to the team of the first 10 months of this year.

Fucking Gouffran for fuck sake.

Ive heard some say that it isnt up to much (Though I am getting it for Christmas as I'm a sucker for the series) but I put that down to it maybe not being as fun as Black Flag was.

I used to do that as well but the whole FIFA novelty has worn off on me now, it just seems pointless to me now as theres no point spending money on it as the reward isnt worth it and whenever I play the game i get no enjoyment out of it, which is the impression ive got off reading comments on other forums too. EA's driving their own customers away with each installment instead of other games enticing them in.

I find it amazing how they still charge that much for packs which cost nothing to make. It's the main reason people went out and bought coins, as paying £5 for 100k gets you at least 13 premium gold packs whereas spending i think £8 gets you like 6 (from memory). I think the most it should be is 75p for a premium gold meaning for 7.50 you get 10

Yeah thats the frustrating part of it all, why set up so negatively when West Ham are there for the taking. Terrible management from Pardew this game and can see him creeping in some of his old tactics into the next few games citing the oppostion and suspensions as excuses for his poor tactics.

Pardew back to his old self today, setting up to not get beat and then ending up getting beat. Shambolic to even consider starting Gouffran with the form he's been in the past year.

Im sure you can do it with FIFA btw, my brother was using share play with a mate on pro evo the other day

Theres a google chrome extension called zenmate which is free and that changes your location settings without having to change DNS etc. You just change the location that you want to be in and youre good to go. Prettu sure you just need to sign up to it with just an email address

Just finishing my first season now but it felt like a bug as it seemed to happen more and more often and I would concede mostly down to his mistakes of parrying everything or the ball going through his player icon. Its happened quite often throughout the season that injuries have hampered one position for me all at one, early in the season in was LB then I'd have no RB's, then I'd have no CB's and now I'm having to play Alnwick in goal because injuries have hit both goalkeepers. I can deal with injuries but it seems weird that they always happen all at once and specifically to one position.

Yeah he's starting to mature and looking like a threat, isnt afraid to try a final pass or cross and worries defenders as I think theyre not sure what to expect from him as he's pretty skilful too. Him and Haidara have looked good down the left recently and seem to understand each other well.

I think Sammy has done well whenever he's played for us, he looks laid back on the ball yet he always looks to attack players which I like. I think people underestimate him because his second names Ameobi, which is a shame as he's been a vital figure for us in this recent resurgence.

Who are we to question the king, eh?

Cabella should never be coming off if were after a goal. The Gouffran substitution has handicapped any tactical moves we could make.

Should get Cabella behind the striker and Gouffran out wide. Stupid and pointless substitution from Pardew tbh.

How abysmal is Krul on the game? He parrys everything and shots go through him or in at the near post, honestly shocking how bad he is. I'm not sure if it's a bug with keepers on this game or just him solely as i havent played another save on it, just wondering what others opinions are? I think Ive scored more own goals in my first season than Carragher has in a career.

Cheers gonna try the advice given! I do seem to lose alot of goals from player mistakes, eg giving the ball away randomly and stupidly on an attack, a player dwelling on the ball pointlessly then getting robbed of possession and goalkeepers parrying everything back at the opposition like its a game of FIFA!

Surely its not just me that conceded a bucket loads of goals? GK's seem absolutely pointless on it as they save nothing and clean sheets seem impossible to achieve.
