The entire second half of last season, rivals fans all became united against Liverpool because our fans would be “unbearable” if we won it. We ended up winning the CL instead (same rival fans united together to support Spurs for the same reasons) and I honestly think United fans were more giddy/unbearable about winning the “treble” under Mourinho.

Re: high speed ping-pong is back?
Wow read some genuinely good points just scrolling through this.
First of all, the manual defending vs assisted attacking has totally been brought to the extreme, creating these high scoring games that don't simulate real football. I find many goals are not because the attacker thought faster than the defending player, but the defensive mechanics are so much slower that it is impossible to react to the high-speed attacking play that requires little anticipation or thought.
The fact is that the game would be so much more realistic if the gameplay was shifted to be more manual. There would be real skill gaps and the best players would be those who can think in depth at a high speed while maintaining accuracy.
For those that believe a "slower game" would be more boring, how can you confidently stand by your claim as a football fan. Fifa 19 was no accurate representation of real football.

Let's hope that they maintain that slower and more realistic gameplay.

Reality is that it wouldn't change anything apart from ruining the game from a fun perspective. It would take the fun out of the game, but the good players who continued playing would still end up winning as they do each and every year.
@Orison
Let me get this straight. You actually like the fast ping pong passing and blind first time shots?
In other words, you think the fun is taken out of the game, if it becomes harder to pass/shoot, as hitting the target with the right speed and angle is done completely by your own inputs?
I don’t think full manual controls will change everything... I know it would.
That’s why I’ve suggested multiple times, that EA should adjust it to semi-assisted, for people to get used to handle things on their own on the virtual football pitch in FIFA.
That's not what I said.
But yes I much prefer a free flowing and fast paced game over one in which you turn 10x just to find a good passing angle for your manual pass. Manual passing would make the game so incredibly slow while people were trying to find good passing angles, it would be laughable.
And then manual shooting goes with it. It could work in a very slow paced game in which you have time to aim and what not, it would never work in a fast paced game.
I don't want a slower game (which would happen with manual or semi manual controls), I want a faster one. The skill gap shouldn't be in holding the ball forever trying to pick the safest option. It should be in making the right decisions quickly. It's a video game, not a boredom simulator.
This is ok darling, but how you can say that the most simple thing to increase skillgap (manual controls) actually decrease the skillgap is beyond me.
I mean what you basically say is that the person driving a racing simulation will be the worse driver than someone playing NFS
Sry bruh in this regard you are just wrong.
@Antiversum you need to learn how to read bruv. Not once did I say that manual controls decrease the skill gap. I said it makes the game boring and also puts the skill gap in the wrong places.
But reading is clearly a struggle for a few people in this thread.
You could argue that a pro player isn't really a pro player if he doesn't control manually and well all aspects of a gameplay. Games where you get a lot of automatic guidance for the character you are controlling can hardly be considered seriously competitive. That's why in fighting game tournaments you find automatic stuff turned off. It's common sense.
Re: Manchester United Football Club
We've got 3 new players in the starting 11, the youngest side in the league, and an inexperienced manager.
Of course there will be growing pains. Still supremely confident we'll finish top 4 and get better as the season moves along.

Came along way from his performance at the Emirates last season where he looked a rabbit in the headlights. Turns out new signings from other leagues do sometimes need an acclimatising period, although you wouldn't know it on judging by this forum
Mans searching all corners of the forums for some assurances Pepe will turn out good 😂
In fairness, it must suck to sign Gervinho and then sign the new Gervinho too
Could be worse, could've spent 130m on our back 5 and lost 2-1 at home to Palace
