Help with defending

[mutu1258]

Hi,

I have made my self a tactic which has got some success in all leagues i've played in, mainly the english championship. The problem I have with it is my defence let to many in.

In regards to the actual tactic I used the tactic creator, played a 4-4-2, shorter passing, more pressing, more disciplined creative freedom and drilled crosses. The marking and tackling were left to default. The philosophy was rigid and playing style was controlled. I don't use any shouts or OI's but I do make slight tactical changes during games if I'm losing such as going from controlled to attacking and substituting any players playing poorly or in low condition. What in in need of is some advice on how to tighten up my leaking defence. You can download the tactic and try it and see if you can do anything with it.

Cheers
