We were going into most big games as underdogs since mourinho days. This is what modern chessy is built on
This is a side effect of us not challenging for anything for years. We are always mental underdogs in these games cos those clubs have their eyes set on a prize while the best motivation we can muster up is “it’s a big game”. Losing these games have no real consequence for us

The idea that like FM15 was some absolute masterpiece and modern versions have been bad is so funny it's literally the same game with a slightly different match engine and 1 additional slide every year
All the reviews of Football Manager 27 so far...
@claytsfm - “The game’s in a really good place. There’s a freshness about it and a polish that was lacking in 26.”
@DoctorBenjy - “Do you know how happy it makes me to be so positive about a Football Manager game?
@WorkTheSpace - “Better than both FM26 and FM24... but not perfect.”
@ZimsMula - “If you didn’t like FM26… I am sure you’re gonna like FM27.”
@ArtdeRoche (The Athletic) - “restored that FM feeling for me.”
Barry Collins (Forbes) - “Football Manager 27 has its mojo back.”
Nathan Bliss (Mirror) - “FM27 feels like Football Manager again.”
WE HAVE OUR GAME BACK!

IF I really wanted to I could give him the benefit of the doubt on the injury but Its clearly not the case
🚨🔵 Xabi Alonso on Estevao's physical level:
"We know that the Premier League and games in England are very intense. You need to be up for it. Este is in his second season, he had that injury. It's not going to be long."

Put your gimmick where you mouth is chabbs.
🚨 Xabi Alonso really trusts Pedro Neto on the right, and moving him centrally means giving someone else that role. It is still early days but he does not appear to have too much faith in other wingers at his disposal in Estevao Willian, Geovany Quenda and Jamie Gittens (who is nursing an ankle injury).
Marco Palestra, who has just returned from a quad injury, is arguably a stronger contender.

🚨 Chelsea signed Emmanuel Emegha because they felt he has the potential to be a better striker than Nicolas Jackson.
However, two hamstring injuries and muscular problems restricted him to just four Ligue 1 starts in his final season with Strasbourg.

Ruining the sport with these fake upset gimmicks. Not watching.

🚨 Alonso on low possession stats :
"What I want is to win the game. I want that we are better with the ball. I think that we can do better and we were not at our best. It's not that significant. The possession can be 60, it can be 40, 30 as long as you create chances and you have chances to score goals and win games. That's the most important" (@BobbyVincentFL)

No doubt. Player quality globally is so low that the other 4-5 guys below him are better than the average by enough that you can't really question it if they win.
None of these awards hold any legacy anymore but in 20-30 years it won't be worth questioning them
