Man Utd 11.2 defense

[Chokopop]

Well, i play with a Man Utd i never really got to play, so i'm playing with it now. Halfway through first season, was in 1st place all season, until now where i am 2nd. I score a goal, and they score 2 goals right away. Playing a 4-2-4 i'll post my team at the end of the thread. Anyways, i am wondering if i am doing something wrong? I started the season of with alot of 2-0 and 3-0 victories, but can't seem to get a clean sheet anymore. Heres my team :

GK: V.D.Saar/Lössl
RB: Rafael
CB: Ferdinand/Evans
CB: Vidic
LB: Evra/Fabio

CM: Jesus Navas
CM: Ryan Giggs

AMR: Antonio Valencia
AML: Nani

ST: Berbatov
ST: Hernandez

SUB: Lössl/Amos
SUB: Evans
SUB: Brown
SUB: Dzagoev
SUB: Fletcher
SUB: Owen
SUB: Wiltord

Note: Only bought Wiltord on a free, as i needed a striker fast, 'cos Rooney was out for 5 months. Have Carroll and Suarez coming in January.

Normally, this is because your players are complacent and stop putting in the effort when taking the lead and against teams that are trying to keep possession, moving up field as a unit( i.e playing cautious with men behind the ball, flooding the mifield), its doomed to fail. In this case, its down to man management and ingame coaching. Expect a performance, hassle the opponent and use more space than the opponent

Giggs in CM? need a ball winner or a box to box.

Where's Rooney? Why play two wingers in CM?

Rooney is out for another 1-2 months.
Well, Giggs did a good job for me in CM the first few months, so did Navas.. But suddenly everyone has just fallen into a slump.

Ya, i tried the teamtalk thing, but when i say that i'm dissapointed, they all wanna talk to me about my Team Talks.. I can't really say that i'm happy with their performance if i am playing 2-2 against Fulham. I tell them to pass the ball more direct, and they still pass it right into the feet of the opponent. Also i score in the first 2-3 minutes usually, and after that things just fail for me.

Try sympathising with it if they are unlucky to be with the score they have? and dont be harsh on away team talks if team perform badly in first half maybe might be bit obvious just thought i'd say

Well, i'm not to harsh on the on away games. It's the home games that **** me off.. Just lost 3-1 to Blackburn, and i am out of the Champions League. So i've gotta do something wrong, or it's just the team that is getting to complacent.
