    try to set difensive mood.
    I saw that I score much more in this way than in offensive set (of course same formation)

    Right guys, bit of an update. Won 7-0 in the league just now but played a few reserves as I've got a vital CL game coming up in ten minutes. The team I beat were managed by Bot Robot and were second bottom with only 10 points from 18 games - SO, I should be beating them in fairness.

    That said, most of my goals - 5 out of the 7 - came from long range efforts. What's more worrying is that I had 3 'must score' chances and ALL went wide of the post...... That's worrying because I honestly can't remember the last time i scored a MUST SCORE chance . Could it be a bug? Is anyone else experiencing similar with the 'must score' chances that usually would go in aren't.

    I'm not getting excited that the poor form is over - one swallow doesn't make a summer .

    We'll see though. I'll keep you all posted!

    I think that is the NGE program for this season. I m also seeing alot of commentary texts like these:
    it narrowly goes wide,
    it hits past the post,
    it whistle past the post,
    but he puts it over,
    just skimmed across the bar,

    Perhaps I'm reading too much into it of course but to me MUST SCORE means that it's more or less an open goal and surely he should score ATLEAST 7/10 of those? That's being pessimistic too!
