What is your team talk when said to the 'littler sides'? Are you pushing to many players forward and they're catching you on the counter-attack? Be a little more specific when they say they're turning you over. How exactly? Set-pieces, counter, open play? etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeney-G Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 from open play and the counter attack however i play a controlled match play, i like to make sure my defenders stay in position but they just seem to switch off against these lesser teams, i dont really use team talks pre match or halftime, just tell them well done after a wining match, i took some advice off someone who had studied team talks n it hasworked ok as of now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemlfc Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Perhaps that's your problem? When you're heavily favored, 'I expect a win' normally rids your players of complacency. Make sure your midfielders are still hassling them before they reach the defense line. That's generally how teams ranked with no chance play, quick football on the counter.

Sweeney-G Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 hhhmmm i will try the i expect a win and have my central midfielders hassling their opponents, just pulled off a typical easy 2-0 win v arsenal..... if only it was so easy v stoke haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldo_rooney Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 yeah be less enthusiastic over 'minor' wins and be more demanding pre match against lessor opponents Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
