Bloody Hell! 12 attempots to beat Arsenal now and nothing!

[Ubik Valis]

I played a simple 442 against Arse, and still hammered them

 

[Dreath]

Bah i AM the arse and I reached a personal target of scoring 107 goals in one season

 

[champdave]

I havn't lost to Arsenal yet, (4 meetings) just get Gerrard and Alonso down centre midfield.

4-4-2

 

[PSVFOREVER]

I won 5-3 from them at home, and then lost 3-0 away

 

[celtic_bhoy]

lol Carlos*ie who were you managing, the bhoys?
anyway my greatest moment in FM to date is knocking the gooners out in the CL quaters, ill put my pick in the showoff thread

 

[ngyc]

i also play 442 against them. seems no problems. thanks reyes finishing was crap

 

[sky.]

The key to defeating Arsenal (IMO) is to put down their wingers. What I did was I set my two fullbacks to defensive mentality (originally they were attacking and provided crosses). Also I set Rio Ferdinand to man mark Henry and that kept him quiet. Reyes finishing is quite bad This is how I beat them 3-0 twice in both CL legs. My Man Utd formation:

----------Rooney-------Mansiz----------------
--^------------------------------------------^---
--^------------------------------------------^---
Giggs------D'Alessandro------------Ronaldo
--------------Mascherano(zonal marking)---
----------------------------------------------------
Mendy-----Brown-----Ferdinand-----G.Neville

So this guy cheated to win Arsenal. I did the same thing once in the CL final, but the thing is I didnt want to win, so, i won the first time ( ) and I had to restart the game to play again so i can loose the game sheer magic

Arsenal are damn hard to beat - I've played them six times now (in different matches) and only won once (drew 3, lost 2). I usually go all out attacking, trying for an early goal, then immediately revert to defensive and try to weather the storm, but they nearly always sneak one back before the end. Strangely, I find I beat Man Utd a lot easier but they tend to do alot better in the league.

And Carlos*ie, the game's gonna get real boring if you replay every match til you win. You'll find it far more rewarding to do it legit.

Only you would do that....

i hadnt won the league and i somehow didnt want the board/fans to have high expectations for next season (was playing with small club not much money etc) Only reason why i wanted that.

 

[marsxxxx]

My team is Chelsea. Using Terry to fix Henry, that's done.

I think a large number of world class teams can beat them.

 

[rony31]

I used to do the save game trick sometimes in CM 01/02 only when I lost big to rivals, like by 3+ goals

past meetings vs. Arsenal for me:

 

[yoyo913]

LOL I did this in my old CM0102 game and I won the world cup with Romania


oh and I also managed other teams and put their goalie on the field... won by a margin of 20 goals

 

[syaz_wan03]

seriously... i really hate when we can conquer the whole game all da time... sometimes i can av abt 35 shots a match...it's damn unrealistic...

i play with real madrid & won easily vs depor 5-0

vs Basel for CL qualifiers... 8-0 & 4-2 & the agregate is 12-2

............but now i play with norwich to get some new challenge

 

[mattywood]

check this out, my first game against the gooners!!!

They made topteams far better compared to lower teams than they did in previous Cm. Playing with a big team is easier, but starting with a little team is more challenging.

does arsenal that hard to beat?

 

[AberdeenFC]

i havent played those bastards yet, but i'll get my ass raped when i eventually do cause i use sheffield wednesday!
