RobBrad Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 FEEDBACK TIME! Loving the tactic. My centre midfielder is scoring for fun, whether thats down to the tactic im not sure. I haven't lost a game yet and have only conceded...wait for it...1!!!!!! In around 12 games, and that was in a European cup match.
