- @JustinCase0110 I guess you are right about Everton being a Premier League side. I still see them as a struggling Premier League team and not a difficult one but that would be a different point of view for a Championship side.

Being newly promoted to the championship, I didn't take their real life struggles into account. Just saw a club that not long ago were two tiers ahead...
Regardless, I usually hope for non-Premier League opposition in the first few rounds, so I didn't find this one particularly easy, especially with Arsenal waiting in round 3.
What a terrible first impression by Mbe Soh, knowing football fans, it will take some time for him to gain trust back. Next two matches are going to be tough but a good way to see where the team is at this early in the season.

To be fair, he did play 43 games for me last season without getting sent off. It's a 2 year loan, so the two red cards in quick succession luckily isn't the first impression given to the fans. And he's actually been quite good, red cards aside. And I would have loved to be able to include him in the Arsenal game. In the following two matches, the game doesn't prohibit me from using him, but it just doesn't feel right to field him again after only sitting out one game.
The logo is the FA Cup, confused me for a minute! No surprise losing to Arsenal. That's the problem with this cup, the fixtures kill you early on with fatigue.
It seems you are falling back into the issues you normally have in the first season. Great defense but bad attacking sides.
Did you change a formation or anything? Maybe you need to do a few tactical tweaks to match the new league.

Oh yes, wrong cup, my bad. Just fixed it.
Similar issues in deed, but I'm not changing too much at the moment. I try to rotate players and keep most of them happy with their gsme time. And I fear too many formation changes will make it harder for me to play them all.
Besides, I'm actually quite happy with staying another season in the Championship. I really don't feel Premier League ready yet, so I don't mind dropping a few points here and there.
I can see where Mee is coming from with his comments but there is a difference between one game with no goals and being exciting compared to 6-7 in a row. Fans want goals.
I look at Spurs this season. To start the year, fans didn't care about scoring or results they were just enjoying the style of Ange compared to Conte. After a month, that joy went away when we stopped scoring even though we kept playing uptempo.
Goals and high scoring matches will always make fans happier longterm than a great defensive team.
