Finished my first season with Liverpool, and won the treble!:D But the best part was beating Manchester United 4 out of 4 times along the way :D :D :D

How about this for a North-West derby?

hey TBH, the image for the last part of the top team 4-2-3-1 seems to be missing / isn't loading?

Make sure that you're setting a date for the reminder in the bottom-right corner when you make the note? If you don't set a date it doesn't ever show up in your inbox as a reminder.

If you've ticked the slider and manually adjusted settings, then shouts won't change it. For details on what all the shouts do: Touchline Instructions - Guide to Football Manager 2012

Carroll Complete Forward? Has anyone tried using Carroll as a complete forward on support? Obviously having a Target Man in a short-passing system doesn't work out well, so I was wondering whether anyone had tried this with any success?

that already does kind of happen; but rather than being through the scouts, it can happen when managers talk to the press about certain players. E.g. if you admire another team's player or declare interest in buying him, he might be determined to put in a good performance to impress you - or he...

This should help, or at least provide a starting point for discussion: Touchline Instructions - Guide to Football Manager 2012 DISCLAIMER: Not mine. Obviously.

generally speaking, short vs direct passing is a compromise between possession and shots on goal. short passing is better to retain possession, while direct passing focuses on getting into goal-scoring positions as quickly as possible, which means passes are more likely to go a bit astray...

awesome, will definitely give this tactic a go - reading 'inverting the pyramid' now! i'll keep you updated on how the W-M goes for me. re: some of the feedback, it's unfair to expect this tactic to keep possession - if you read the OP he talks about fast, counter-attacking, direct football...

no; they take up the role of the new position they have swapped into. e.g. if you have rooney as a deep lying fwd and hernandez as a poacher and you tick "swap position" and set them to swap with each other, then at times hernandez will swap and play as a deep lying fwd and rooney will play as...

Why it happens = realism. :P Young players aren't going to become sages of the game, but they haven't finished growing yet either; hence, mental attributes increase slowly, and physical attributes increase quickly. That's why you should have higher levels of tactical training on youngsters...

right-click on the player, and under interaction it should say "start preferred move training". pick the coach who will be conducting the training (at the moment i don't know if it makes a difference which coach you pick) and then you will be in conversation with the coach and can select the...

Signing a new DM was the first thing I did as well - and those were the two players I looked at! :) M'Vila, sadly, is definitely out of your budget - but if you ask the board to sign Sissoko, they tend to go for it, and haul him in for 10.5 mil :D he's been great for me, both as a destroyer and...

doesn't look like it; perhaps the folks at FM felt that the improved "next opponent" scouting reports would make up for that. (in case you don't know what i'm referring to, set one of your scouts - the one with the highest tactical knowledge - to scout next opposition, and he'll compile a report...
