Hi,
I need some help, i'm on my first season with Liverpool and this is my first time playing football manager since the 08/09 season.
The formation I have choosen is 4-5-1, with 3 midfielders centrally and the wingers pushed up supporting the striker. Now i'm 3rd in the league and until the last run of 10 games in cup/uefa/premiership we were scoring a lot of goals. I'm coming to the end of March so the formation has been tested over a fair period of time and seemed to be working.
My midfield three are split into two supporting and one attacking, i've changed the wingers at times to be either supporting or attacking and they are set to inside forward. I've choosen this formation as i'd seen some good posts on it and I looking at Liverpools squad I thought it would be easier to improve from the midfield going forward and buying quality strikers seems to be very expensive.
The team mentality is fluid and balanced, due to injuries i've played most of the season with Babel up front and in fairness he has scored 23 goals and weighed in with a fair few assists. I haven't downloaded the patch to update the squads so feeling like a bit of a fraud I do still have Torres up front now so apologies. He again has scored 13 goals but been injured for most of the season.
I've improved the training so my finishing has four stars by bringing in better coaches. I've signed Rakitic, Christian Rodriguez(been very disappointing) and Affelay for total expenditure of £20 Million.
I beat Sampdoria 4-1 on aggregate and then drew 1-1 with United at old trafford and since then i've drawn with Newcastle, lost to Juventus over two legs scoring only 1 goal after making about 40 chances in the two legs and gone out of the cup to Blackburn after a replay where I was at home in the first leg.
I'm kind of stumped as my team are confident with the tactics and I don't really want to change the formation as i've planned my next batch of transfers to improve the squad. Any help would be greatly appreciated??
thanks
