Just wondering what are peoples' thoughts on on how they change tactics when there is a sending off either for your side or the opposition?
I've had reasonable success limiting damage when I get a red card for my team, compressing the playing space by pushing my defence much higher up and closing down much more (plus an offside trap).
Where I've had more trouble is taking full advantage when the opposition lose a player (seem to suffer at the cliche that 'it's harder to play against 10 men'). There's a few instructions I've tried - pass into space, play wider (exploit a flank if their formation becomes unbalanced) - but none have had the kind of results you would hope for. Are there any tactics you've had that work well when up against 10?
