tottivillarossi Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 It's absolutely f#cking ridiculous. I'm Villa, second season, I've played 15 games, conceded 22. About half those have been long shots! It's just so unrealistic. Is there something wrong with my tactics? I play: Balanced, Standard - I switch between control and counter depending on who I'm playing 'Press More' closing down everything else is pretty much default. My line up looks like ----------------------Victor --Azpillicueta---Davies-----Jagielka-----Warnock -----------Reo Coker--------Petrov --Milner--------------Jadson------------Young -----------------Agbonlahor Reo Coker is a ball winner set to defend, and Petrov is a central midfielder set to support. The rest are pretty much obvious. The only goals I concede are long shots and from corners. What's going wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenBlake Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I've also noticed the amount of long shots scored by the opposition is unreal. One particular highlight was when I was playing Chelsea (I am Man Utd), within the first 30 mins, they were 3-0 up, and yep you guessed it, all long shots. My midfield consists of a ball winner and a support midfielder (similiar to first poster), any help would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tottivillarossi Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Newcastle just beat me at home because Matt Derbyshire scored a 30 yarder, now I haven't been watching him that much recently, but I'm pretty sure he's not the next Bobby Charlton.

drwinston Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 have you been using the opposition instructions? Showing players onto their weaker foot, hard tackling early on, close marking etc? You're always gonna get some long shots scored but it does seem like you're getting too many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson123 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 babel, 5 goals, 5 from 30 yards put me out the cup. C'mon!! That was with closing down and show onto weaker foot!! Since last post... Osman with a 30 yard freekick. Leighton Baines from 25 yards and two, yes two 40 yard monsters from BURNLEY? I'm sorry, when did they become Barcelona in disguise? I can accept conceding many goals as tactical, but watching my game plans become undone by 30+ yarders is killing me!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
