I'm currently using this tactic in my 2nd saison with Liverpool. I have a more then decent team and sure have enough qualities to win the league ore other cups. After playing the first half saison I'm in 3th place with 37 points. Not bad but last year I had 40 points and ended 4th.. Hopefully the second round is going better because the tactic was not fully fluided in the beginning. The last 10 premier league games i'm undefeated. With amazing wins at Old Trafford 1-4, Anfield vs Arsenal 5-1, Home vs SLB 6-1 there was the other side of the medal 1-1 vs Southampton they had 1 silly long shot, Norwich was one just before the streak but lost 2-1 coudn't understand i didn't see them having any really scoring chance..
Hopefully i can push for winning the premier league I'm only 5 points behind on Chelsea but they where really dominating the premier leage and championsleague last year.. with almost 100 points in the league and not losing a game in their road to final chamionsleague
