Neto’s dribble was brilliant, then the finish was not

proper fm winger behaviour that isnt it he beats the man then forgets the rest of the pitch exists and takes the worst option possible every single time like the game has been coded to make you scream at your screen
 
The key thing is that the dribble creates a temporary overload, which should usually lead to a simple square pass or cutback. By choosing to shoot from that angle, he turns a high-value situation into a low-value one.
 
You can almost hear the collective groan when he gets past the first man because everyone knows what comes next, and that is the maddening thing with players like this, they give you the hope first, they make the move look like it is building to something huge, and then the final action is just completely off, and it leaves you sitting there wondering whether the right instinct is to praise the skill or criticise the choice, because both are true, and that is why fans are so split on him, some will see a brilliant dribbler, some will see wasted chances, and I get both sides but at the end of the day if you are in that position in the 94th minute you have to be colder than that and not just lash at it like a man possessed
 
How that foul at 16 seconds doesnt get given is beyond me honestly the officials just let stuff go until it becomes a complete mess and then everyone acts surprised, the defender is clearly tripped up and the ref is right there and still nothing, then later on you get the usual vague hand gestures and no consistency at all, its just garbage officiating week after week and you wonder what the point of having them there is if they miss the obvious stuff and then turn around and punish the softest contact imaginable
 
he does the bit that makes everyone stand up then just forgets the simple pass and its maddening because you can see the better option right there and he still goes for the hollywood finish
