Football Manager 2016: 10 Essential Fan Demands It Must Include
4. Abrupt Ends To Unbeatable Runs Should Be Less Common
You know the feeling, when your legendary (for example) Arsenal team lays waste to the rest of the league, stomping their way towards the title, showing no mercy, not conceding goals, and punishing defences for even daring to stop them. It's a great feeling. Then after a long unbeaten run, newly-promoted Brentford, on the back of a five game losing streak, roll up to the Emirates and depart with all three points, three goals, and a clean sheet. It's inexplicable. Shock results make football the great game that it is, but there are times when fans have been left scratching their heads as to how their team can demolish a title challenger one week, then crumble to minnows on their own patch. Back in the real world, Arsenal's invincible side were always going to lose at some point, but they weren't hammered by a far-lesser team.
