Internomad Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 When my team goes more than 2-0 up in a game, half my teams Morale is Looking Complacent, or Looking Uninterested. What can I do to rectify this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderZtormDK Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I would guess a "PAY ATTENTION FOOLS" shout from the touchline should help. "Don't get complacent", I believe they call it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internomad Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Well, first of all there is no shout to tell the players not to get complacent, also all my players ARE professionals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Well, first of all there is no shout to tell the players not to get complacent There is at half-time. That will help prevent it in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityAndColour Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 There is at half-time. That will help prevent it in the first place. Apologies for bumping an older thread, but this confuses me a little bit. There has been quite a bit of discussion on the meaning of complacency in the past - at half time I always assumed it was most appropriate when my team is well on top, as a means of telling my players that they needed to stay focused and not drop off. However, the general consensus was that it is actually most appropriate when you are winning a game you are favourites in, but not playing well. I also struggle with the "looking complacent/uninterested" reaction and have never really found an effective way to combat it. If I am 2-0 up at half time and outplaying the opposition, yet this is what my players are like at half time, is it recommended to use the "don't get complacent" talk?

If the players are already "looking confident" etc at half time, then praising them is a very bad idea. They need to keep focus. If they can use the praise, there's nothing wrong with giving them praise. If you don't want them to become over-confident/complacent, use the talk.

uğurcan Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 could you mention how to do that? I've been enjoying a fine run in my second season and media has been praising me alot. In my last game, I scraped a draw with a team from the bottom of the table and a few of my players looked complacent during the game. Think I never had a chance to say something in the media to prevent this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't over-praise. Warn against complacency. Become more demanding, expecting wins etc. Obviously, it's going to be difficult if you're on a great run and 4-0 up at half time though, but you're 4-0 up in the game so don't worry about it.
