Why is my team conceding in nearly every game.

[ant j green]

I'm currently managing Liverpool in me second season and in nearly every game we concede 1 or 2 goals, i still win games but just sick of conceding in every game, i have Reina in goal and i have G.Johnson, D.Agger, R.Shawcross and cissokho in def, anyone help?

Post screenshot of what tactic you're using.

I think people will be asking you for more info.

Is anyone in your defense playing poorly? What about the goalie?

How is midfield possession?

When are goals usually conceded? Beginning of the game, middle, or end?

How do you instruct your defense to play? High up, far back, long passes, tackle hard, closing down, etc.

Is morale an issue? Do any players dislike the other? Are training levels appropriate? Is stamina and fitness ok?

Check match motivation to see if anyone is nervous or complacent?

Does anybody react poorly to your team talk or answers to the media?


If you're winning I wouldn't make any drastic changes, but perhaps play some of your prospects or your reserves. Sometimes if you give them a chance they impress more than your first team, as your first team players can sometimes get complacent when there's no competition for their position.

You can also try dropping back a DMF or instructing your team to play more cautiously once they have the lead, soaking up as much possession as possible.

If you concede when 3-0 up, or 4-1 up, then its basically because your team stops playing ( read close down the opponent, look for à Hood defensive position) at the same time as the opponent play cautious, moving upfield as an unit. Here, its important to play cautious to, but using lots if width and push up the team and hassle them.
