Tactics help!!!!!

[stu230777]

I am managing Crawley and my assistant manager states the following three things repeatedly : -
1 - "............is concerned that we struggle against teams who play with a high defensive line"
2 - "............is concerned that we struggle against teams who play with a slow tempo"
3 - "............is concerned that we struggle against teams who play with narrow width".

Now I believe I can combat the first by geting a faster forward, but how can I combat the others??? All help appreciated - Thanks!!!

In my opinion with no2.. You need someone that fits the Palacios / Cattermole / Parker role someone that will work hard to get the ball back and pass to a more creative player in the team to make a chance..

No3 not sure would be interested in an answer for that for my own curiosity.

#2 I'd change to my tactics to 'press more' which should give the opposition less time on the ball and perhaps increase my own team's tempo...

#3 I'd probably tell my team to clear to/exploit the wings and increase width

either or neither suggestion might work, normally I prefer to let the opponents worry about my team
