I'm having an awesome game with Brighton (beat Barca in champions league in 2015. That's Barca with Neymar, Messi, Iniesta) but this season it has been a total DISASTER. First game, both my DMs get injured for a month, 2-3rd game, all my frist/2nd team right backs are gone. Specific injuries. Everywhere.
No worries, I have some decent 2 star youngsters who could use some match exeprience.
What really gets me is losing 2-0 when I have 2 clear cut chances and they have none. I've lost FIVE GAMES in a row now where I've finished the match with more clear cut chances than the other side. Is it bad luck? It looks like it. Some ******* with 8 "long shots" scored a screamer from 35 yards. 90th minute dramatic winner. My left back scores a 4.5 and doesn't like being fined, so he isn't talking to me anymore. He throws this hissy fit 1 week after the transfer window has closed.
On top of this I have two mediocre championship-quality players on 75,000 a week because they demanded highest earner clauses, and I've since signed significantly better players. I can't sell them FOR FREE.
Disaster. Absolute disaster. Nobody is performing well. And to top it off, my board has finally cottoned on to the fact that I'm good. I was previously getting "mid-table finish" as expectation. Now they want continental qualification as a minimum, and it's not like I can spend the £30m they offer, because the club only has 20m, and we're currently upgrading training facilities, youth facilities AND stadium, so if I spend anything on anyone good enough to make a difference, I risk these being cancelled. My chairman is still threatening to sell my star striker, and my star striker is still wanting to move to a bigger club. Champions league for trwo seasons running isn't big enough? ****.
