Yes - you can train him to try & remove that PPM. From the player's profile, go to Development, Training, select New Preferred Move, select the coach you want to use to train him & then select Movement Training. From the list that is provided, select the one that says something like this: "Train him to not to try & beat the offside trap so often". Don't know the exact wording because I'm at work right now.
Be warned though - sometimes the player won't be able to 'unlearn' the ppm. So, basically, you have to try & hope for the best!
