It's a subject that comes up frequently here, often mocked, ironised or snubbed... But I'd like someone to explain it to me.

I'm well aware that a season is made up of disappointments, surprise defeats and so on. But to what end? What's the project? Who can explain it to me?
Matches where you're superior, creating chances (or not) against opponents who are 100x affordable, absent, don't end in a draw... but in defeat and sometimes or often by scoring 0 goals (& even when you try to play for everything, it's worse you concede more despite staying in place defensively)!
My scenarios are always the same.
I simply play without any tactical flourish against an opponent who's supposed to be weaker, exploiting their weaknesses and my qualities, I'll create a chance, maybe score a goal or not, they'll get a red, equalise, and at the end of the game go back in front without forcing it, a ghost club, a weaker club or an absent opposing coach. A repetitive scenario with a few minor changes to the algorithm... Unfavourable.

It's OK if it happens once a season, but in every competition, this season is already very tiring.

My last defeat was in the cup at home, and tonight's IE defeat just adds insult to injury.
There's no point in following your match for 90 minutes, trying things left and right, the opposition absent, even with 10 men, with players physically cooked, will find the resources to go and put the second goal by the force of the Holy Spirit 🙂

Let's hear it...
