Seems to be a common theme mate. I wouldn't change the mentality as it doesn't seem to make much of a difference, look at the passing length, try more direct & see if that makes any difference)
I'm playing about with it, I won 38/38 with my Liverpool side.
Only gripe for me is it concedes more...
Never won all 38 games in the league before. Genuinely nervous at bottling it.
Lost 3-2 to City in the LC semi (they had a full strength side out) and I'd rested a few.
