Well, he can go have a love-in with Vincent Tan in the Championship next season and League One the season after.

I wish someone would take some of those pesky balloons on the pitch and burst them in their faces. That's your Premier League club ownership and management dreams all going up in tatters. *Bang*

I think it would be easy to lay in to Cafu for the goals, but i think he was isolated for most of the game, and they exploited that....

But still you can't excuse the poor passing under no pressure. His mistakes with the ball put us under pressure quite a few times.

I agree but I think the poor passing was a function of his being isolated. Let's lay off the poor lad and ask the more senior players why he was so badly exposed instead.

To be honest, does it really matter? We put 3 past his old PL team and 6 past his new PL team. 6 points in total. We couldn't care less when they're playing in the championship next season.
 
Well losing by 1 - 0 & 2 - 1 I was thinking gonna be one of those days again.

But once we equalise before half time. Steadied the nerves for me and so glad we won.

We were quite sloppy but a win is a win.

Unrealistic Game; Sort It Out Dear Editor, That’s it. I’m done with your game.

For a supposed accurate reflection of reality, FA Premier League Simulator 2014 is a shoddy piece of work. It’s become unplayable for me.

Let me explain why.

In my most recent career, which I have been playing for the last few months, Liverpool have made their way to second position in England’s top flight. Yes, Liverpool. A club not backed by an all-conquering oligarch, lighting the way to overnight success, instead by two unassuming Americans, whose finances are frankly dwarfed in comparison. And this is mid-March, may I add. They are second in the Premier League with less than two months of the season remaining. Ridiculous.

Some of their recent results? A 5-0 victory at Tottenham first caught my eye. A spurs side teaming with talent, having re-invested the £80 million received for Gareth Bale last summer, on some of the brightest prospects in football. 5-0. How?! Then a 4-0 win in the Merseyside derby; a game which is notoriously tight. After that, 5-1 against Arsenal at Anfield. An Arsenal squad boasting boundless ability wherever you look. They own Mesut Ozil for god’s sake. Oh, and it was 4-0 to Liverpool within 20 minutes. Hahaha. Honestly.

The Reds also possess the Premier League’s two top goal scorers on my current game, Luis Suarez (25) and Daniel Sturridge (18), having found the net a combined 43 times. These numbers are almost unprecedented. What a joke.

Anyway, after a quick tinker with one or two settings, and installing a game update, I decided to persevere.

That didn’t last long. What a horrible waste of time.

Liverpool travelled to Old Trafford, home of the champions, Manchester United. They may be in a slight state of transition after the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson and a switch of the baton to the dependable, solid David Moyes, but surely the seventh place position they occupied in the league prior to this game is entirely unrealistic. Look at their front four; Mata, Rooney, Januzaj and Van Persie!

The match finished 3-0 to the visitors, helped by two Steven Gerrard penalties. In fact, referee Mark Clattenburg deemed it plausible to award Liverpool three spot-kicks in the 90 minutes. Three penalties given to the away side at Old Trafford?! This just would not happen in real life. I can safely say that, without a shadow of doubt. Embarrassing.

Oh, and Jon Flanagan, a relative rookie at this level; he got man of the match. Yes, 21-year-old Jon Flanagan, playing left-back, was the best player on the pitch in a Manchester United vs Liverpool north-west derby. This was the last straw for me. His incessant hounding of United’s right-sided players was brilliant. It was a ferocious, yet intelligent pressing of the ball which surely belied a player of his ability. Yet his sophisticated defensive work was not even the most unrealistic aspect of his performance. Flanagan’s poise and composure with the ball was, well, ludicrous really. Particularly as he was playing on the side of his weaker foot. The Englishman had 70 touches of the ball throughout the 90 minutes, the third most of any Liverpool player. Would his teammates really trust him that many times?!

It wasn’t just this match in which Flanagan stood out though. For the last few months of my save, he has been part of the Liverpool team, progressing at an unequivocally unrealistic rate. A progression surely outstripping the limited potential he showed when introduced to the Reds’ first-team as a tough-tackling, keen but slightly feral, 18-year-old by Kenny Dalglish in April 2011.

So that’s it for me. Until you enhance your game’s realism, I won’t be playing it. And I’m sure I won’t be the only one. The irony of its title including the word ‘simulator’ is not lost on me, and I hope it’s not on you.

I want my money back.

Please if we don't win it let city win the league. I can't take moureen and Terry's face if they win
 
i make that 10 games from 30 where we've scored 4 or more goals in a game . fap , goal , fap , goal, .....fap , fap , fap.
 
It's all very well praising this team and the way they press and pass. The sublime skills of our very own SAS. However I put it all down to my lad Kaito and his kissing of the LFC pig prior to kick off. So far he is 7 for 7 (I stupidly forgot the Arsenal cup game and was driving back from the Cotswolds during the Baggies game) As long as he keeps kissing that pig I feel we'll keep winning. I think I'm becoming a little obsessed - I fear I am meddling with forces beyond my understanding....
