I'll take up here a subject that got a bit out of hand on the "Penalty" topic, but which I think is worth developing.... You'd think the algorithm was developed back in the catenaccio days and nothing's changed since then! It's not the carrots that are killing the game, it's the algorythm's lack of responsiveness to tactical changes and even more or less daring choices (for good or ill). Here's an example:

At the moment the match isn't even over, so it doesn't matter whether I lose or not. What seems ridiculous is that in this situation of imbalance on both sides, neither team has created a chance since the 40th minute, i.e. for more than 30 minutes. I've been in red, in PC and in attacking mode since the 40th minute and neither I nor my opponent, who could also be entitled to one or more chances, has had any! It's almost as if the imbalances are cancelling each other out when they should be doing just the opposite...
Time to reflect and write this article. The match is in its 80th minute and there still haven't been any chances. What a bore!

If you look closely you’ll realize your opponent is playing extremely defensive game which make it difficult for your players to score……… seems reasonable to me.
I understand it dan be frustrating at times but it’s football heritage. Enjoy the game 😉

Chances and dominance but no goals

#match?mid=6703295&summary

I talked about that in another thread and two days later here's my game, 5 chances, 5 goals in 30 minutes against an opponent I certainly dominated but who wasn't horrible either.
So...

Hamdoulah we haven't lost 🤣🤣🤣

OncleOink: Je reprends ici , un sujet qui a un peu dérapé du topic "Penalty" mais qui me semble intéressant à développer.... A croire que l'algorythme a été développé à l'époque du catenaccio et que depuis, rien à changer ! Ce ne sont pas les carottes qui tuent le jeu, c'est le manque de réactivité de l'algorythme aux modifications tactiques voire aux choix plus ou moins audacieux (en bien ou en mal). Voici un exemple :

A l'heure qu'il est le match n'est même pa...

523 in midfield and 176 up front, frankly that's not conducive to creating chances. I've always been bored by teams that play with a big midfield, and nothing much ever happens.

Pierabou was unfortunately unable to follow the match properly and was absent for almost 40 minutes with this breakdown of stats.

There's absolutely nothing happening, what do you need to have even one event? 800 in midfield and 500 in attack? 🤣

Personally, I'm just going to take the positive out of all this: it's that MdM is increasingly disliked, with everyone having their own analysis.
But in any case, what is emerging is a crucial lack of dynamism.
Aymeric is going to give us a boost so that we can get back into the swing of things for an hour and a half!

On the plus side, it's a good point for ELU against a LDC champion 😄

k3vin59218: Le positif , c est surtout un bon point de pris pour l ELU face a un champion de LDC 😄

Honestly, I'd rather have taken one (or a few) than nothing at all like this, it's horrible.

I don't really understand the aim, that everyone should get bored and stop playing? ^^

I couldn't have put it any further apart. then if you want me to mark it what do you want me to say 🙃

more seriously, it's clear that it's quite surprising that nothing happened at all during the 40 minutes. the xg was still generated, but seeing a bit more event appear would have made sense.
