struggling with possession

[alexjp123]

Hi guys, i really need some help with my tactics. I rarely get a good share of possession in a match, and i swear whenever i play a relegation zone team they just absolutley dominate me and there is nothing i can do to change it during the game.

I'm pretty new to the game so any help would be awesome

I'm playing with everton:

-----------------------Howard-------------------------
Neville--Jagielka----------Heitinga--Baines
-------------Arteta--------------Fellaini-------------
Pienaar-----------Cahill----------Bilyaletdinov
----------------------Suazo---------------------------

Slow down your tempo, set passing to shorter. Adjust your width according to how wide the opposition is playing. It really is as simple as that.

edit: also, during games if you're having trouble maintaining possession, shout to get stuck in and to hassle opponents. I'll assume you already use pass to feet and retain possession.

Retain Possession, pass into feet, work ball into box

lower mentality, high line, short passing, control strategy

Try either close down to 'press more' or tackling 'more agressive'.Also check out the analysis page to find out which opposition player has the highest completed pass, close down him always.
