Help with vila

[sucrilhos]

Basically. the tactics i used, all of them, on fm2008 are completely rubbish on 09. Ive got villa, second season after a 4th place. I know it sounds decent, but away from home the team is disgusting and the defence is ****.

I play with, Friedel
rafinha,coloccini,barzagli,kolarov
,reo-coker
van der vaart, abou diaby
young, agbonlahor
adebayor.

Its unnaceptable to be completely smashed everytime i go away, its a completely different team.

IF you guys can help me out, suggest some tactics or alterations to improve defensively that would be great!

im using a 4-1-2-3-1..unfortunately not getting a lot out of adebayor..im thinking a conventional 4-4-2 would b better

try the 4-1-4-1 PERFECT TREBLE formation.. for me it seams to work every team i go to....
Arsenal
burnley
parma
braintree town

actually..that was the tactic i was using until now..and that seems really bad away from home...

A 4-1-2-3-1? That seems unfair...
Away from home I find a defensive 4-3-3 works best. It gives you a dedicated defensive midfielder and can still work offensively.

haha..yeah..i was counting the ref and the officials haha..i was using the perect treble with 2 wingers, 1 striker.

The thing is..finding ways to tweak the current tactic cant be hard and its very frustrating to just lose every away game while lesser teams actually manage to dominate the game
