Andy Carroll Style!

[KingKevinNolan]

Basically, I'm a huge fan of the Sam Allardyce/Tony Pulis style of management. Sign big, physical, experienced players & get the right mixture of short/long passing. They also make the most of set-pieces. I've tried & tried & tried but just can't pull off their style of play....any help?

Try Rigid, Direct passing, more aggressive tackling, deep defensive line, counter attack yes.

As for attacking corners I use this and it has worked well:
Tallest DC challenge keeper
2nd tallest DC attack far Post
I assume you have a tall ST like Carrol so: ST Attack near post

Corner aim: near post

Hope this helps !

So far I'm doing ok on the long-ball tactic but will definitely bare this in mind! & I'll get right on the set piece tactic as mine has dried out...thanks!
