This is what happens nearly every match, majority of the shots. still lose.

the strikers arent doing too bad on goals, as you can see they are both in the top goal scorers.

and the tactic is great, obviously because the chances are being created. my team is not bad and i have 3 VERY good centre backs. plus the wing backs get good ratings most of the time

any help would be great
 
why do people not understand the difference between chances and shots? basically what im saying how many ccc & hc you creating compared to your opponents?
 
By the look of it, you are playing more narrow on a high tempo using shorter passing. Along with very few players moving between the lines, you will fail to stretch their defence. You will create lots of shots but few chances where you outnumber the opponents and I suspect that most of your shots are taken when most of your advanced players are standing still infront of the ball, that they shot as they don't see the opening pass. Why not try to use Standard instead and try to use the normal tempo, also using one MC dropping/staying deep and one pushing forward
 
I don't see what you're complaining about: you're in a decent position in the league and your strikers have bag more than a few. You're Southampton, not City, so don't expect too much from your side - a 2-1 loss against Arsenal is realistic and respectable. People moan about the realism of the game, but you're moaning because it's too realistic (Southampton are on-form in real life, it's not an accurate reflection on their quality). Hmm...

Having a winning attitude like yours is good, but you've got to be realistic. When you're a weaker team, then sometimes you'll play well but the quality of the opposition may mean that they win, even if they didn't really deserve to. Looking at your tactic, it seems too disjointed - you've got three centre midfielders and two strikers but no-one in-between, so it's quite hard to make short passing work with a formation like that. You should probably bring on a winger/attacking midfielder or change your passing style to longer-range passing.

maybe this tactic is too inconsistant, for example i have just beat city 2-0... im going to stick like this for a few more games and if its still messed up i will use everyones advice. the only problem if i move someone into attacking midfield, i will probably concede more

stick with your approach but upload my suggestions into a 2nd tactic. When you spot these patterns where you dominate but fail to stretch their defence, then switch to this more probing approach and follow the game closely.

When you say " one pushing forward" do you mean put one in the AMC spot or keep him in CM but Advanced Playmaker
