dangerpuss Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 How is it possible to lose 3-0 when you've had 65% of the possession and have a better team in every area? This keeps on happening to me, I dominate the game but still lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably having possesion in poor areas of the pitch and, like West Brom, have nothing in the final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerpuss Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 I have very good strikers though and a solid defence and midfield. I can't see how mediocre teams can play so well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 You clearly don't have a solid defence if you are losing 3-0. That should be your main focus when developing a team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I have very good strikers though and a solid defence and midfield. I can't see how mediocre teams can play so well. But are you creating chances? You could have the best strikers in the world, but without chances they aren't going to score. Your defence can't be that solid if you are losing 3-0, what mentality settings are you using? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerpuss Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 I play with a defensive mentality and counter attack. Perhaps I need a play a more creative CM? My defence should be good because all of the players have good stats and usually perform well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, if your defenders are defending well, how on earth are you constantly conceding. You may need to look at your tactics and have a look at places you might be falling down in.

SFraser Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 You may have better players but clearly your attack is not breaching their defence, and their attack is slicing through yours, while you are able to keep the ball for extended periods of time.
