Feedback on tactic - QPR
Hi mate, you suggested me your tactic a few days back so have been giving it a go with QPR, very indifferent results to be honest. Things it has achieved - Definitely keeps good possession - 60% even against the top sides so that side of it is definitely working well, and generally I score two goals or more a game with it against weaker sides There are, however a lot of negatives. I get hammered, and I do mean hammered, by the best teams, despite keeping posession well. You'll see in the screenshot, but I have been beaten 5-0 by Man City, 3-0 by Liverpool, 4-0 by Man United, 3-1 by Arsenal and 4-1 by Fulham (who are quality on my save, they signed Cabaye and Papiss Demba Cissé, Isla and Tadic). I think there are definitely some things I can use in your tactic to help out the midfield, such as the hold up ball technique and your settings for the midfield three who do perform well, but I seem to get hit way too much on the counter and leak a lot of goals regardless of controlling play. My defenders aren't exactly weak either - Mazuch and Shawcross.
I haven't been using any opposition instructions so far, could this change anything or is your tactic meant to work without them anyway?
