Hello little Mourinhos,

I´ve made the experience that the opposition reports you get from your scouts and your coach differ in most of the cases. E.g. scout advices high defense line whereas your coaches tell the opposite based on their knowledge of past matches. My experience is so far: whenever I follow the report instructions I lost the matches.
(And I am playing recently a strong Palermo squad with Mr. Hough`s tactic - I won Seria A and I am in the EURO Cup and Italian Cup final |) )

How do you decide ? Do you ignore opposition reports ? Have you been successful by accepting and handling them ?

Check your scout's and coach's tactical knowledge and determination - if they are decent(especially tactical knowledge) they could be trusted.
However you also have to pay attention to your team's and enemy team's quickness. If you have slow defenders playing with higher defensive line versus fast forwards is a suicide.
