Every time there is a tactic trying to emulate Barcelona tiki taka, I wonder what is the point on doing so and they often fail in delivering goals despite the possession stats.
What is the point of dominating the opposition if:
- your team doesnt score
- is afraid to shoot
- pass the ball around the park without any serious threat
- the opposion scores before you do
I do give you credit for creating the tactic in the classic mode, however, I do not have a world class team like Barcelona or Man Utd and, from what my team has shown, the tactic falls apart in the 2nd half of the matches many times.
The team seams unable to link up when the opposition is on fire, they just watch the ball being passed and when they have the ball,they always loose it and so you spend 45m watching the oppostion team play and sometimes score even more.
As a example, my team Benfica played a Champions league game vs FC Bayern , in the 1st game, 30m passed by and already I was eating up 3 goals with a final result of 1-4 . There was no Benfica team, nada, rien, zipp, they were there to watch the game.
Sure you can say that it was a overconfidence issue but I disagree, you see the team is not dominating the championship, in fact they are struggling in every game to score. They have an average of 150PR so they are not that bad imo.
The 2nd game at Bayern´s house, again I demanded a win like in the 1st game, won 0-2 but again, the team in the 2nd half disappeared, went to Macdonalds my AM told me. " here´s the ball, you play it"
Like I said with my tactic, there are a lot of factors that can make a team win or loose but frack me, in every single game? Bottom line, Barcelona style is boring to watch, quality of possession above quantity all the way in any given day.
Thank you for taking your time creating the tactic. Cheers
