I've noticed that Mark 'son of Pele' Noble is pretty handy for Real in my ML. Paww - you forgot to mention how useless the goalkeeper is on that shot as well! It's one of those where I think the power of the shot is supposed to have beat him, but it still looks terrible. Overall, speaking as someone who frequently plays with 10 men or less (!), PES is definitely scripted to make it possible for you to play well and win with a couple of players sent off. Back in the days of ISS on the PS1 I used to be expert at getting results - coming from 3-0 down - when down to 10 or less players. It's got a lot harder to do in PES but it's still a lot more doable that perhaps it should be.

Still it was a very nice goal though :) I don’t understand the goal by the way, you had two players closing in on you and the first backed off completely and the second gave you loads of space to get a shot in.

I beat Chelsea with Plymouth Argle a while back, it wasn't a thrashing (0-2) I belive but if you had any idea of how bad a team they are in PES it would be unbelievable. They're the worst of the championship teams in my game by a long way too. Worse team in the entire game too.
