I also had the same issue with away games.. It is easy to dominate home games so I could not work out what was wrong,
For away matches I simple drop the defensive line one notch and the forward line one notch, use cautious approach for games that are judged to be close and defensive approach for games that I'm expected to lose
I have found by doing this you can match your home game stats and the game has become enjoyable again
What I can not stop is the silly defensive mistakes that the ME loves to throw in every now and then
