Hi all,
Just completed my first season with Liverpool. Won the Premier League and got to the Champions League Semi-final (beat Juve 3-1 in first leg then lost 4-1 in second ).
My tactic is a beast in attack. Honestly. Whilst also retaining possession of the ball, my team counter attack to devastating effect with Markovic and Sterling on the wings.
However, in defence, I often concede too many clear cut chances. Whilst I normally create more than I've conceded, it still annoys me and makes unexpected upsets all the more likely.
How can I tighten this tactic up yet retain the pace-exploiting, dangerous aspect?
I play a 4231: GK(d), FB(s), CD(d), CD(d), CWB(a), DLP(d), B2B(s), WNG(a), AM(s), IF(a), CMP(a)
Mignolet, Flanagan, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Gerrard, Henderson, Markovic, Coutinho, Sterling, Sturridge
Fluid, Attacking, retain possession, pass into space, play wider, roam from positions, allow wide players to swap, hassle opponents, use tighter marking, be more expressive, play out of defence.
I tell Gerrard to play more direct passes and my centre backs to pass shorter.
If your recommendation is to buy a new player, then so be it: I have £60-80m to spend, have signed Ginter and Lamela this year and bought Dier, Balanta, Lucas Romero, Montoya and Pugliese last year. I have sold Lovren (unreliable, inconsistent) and Lallana (lethargic, poor stats in the league), and might sell Balotelli.
Cheers,
Aidan
