PLeaseDontSackME Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 managed a strong 3-1 win win away from home against napoli. Lost the second leg 4-0 :o Safe to say "NEVER SIT ON A LEAD" When your up against quality, they always find a way lol Anyone else had a similar experience?

dave7867 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 yes in first couple of saves when i got the game,group stage dominate the group then when you resume in feb and a team you should beat easily gives you the biggest hiding you ever seen after that you see a similar pattern.(every year) after that i dont presume to beat even an average team,if the other team are dominating position you have to change, i change to a possession tactic or even a defensive tactic even at home to get play back and it works most of the time.

Azuru Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I know. I always get my ass licked soon as I face a moderately decent team. And I am only talking about the Europa League btw. Winnable with the likes of chelsea but impossible with with an average team. I find it impossible anyway. Seriously, I'm always pegged back from start to finish in those away matches. I often go through the entire match without having even 1 moderately decent attempt at goal. I don't care how bad my tactics or whatever may be, how can I not create at least 1 decent attempt at goal? I'm not exactly doing a complete overhaul of my tactics here, so one would think they should have the expressive freedom to create 1 decent chance on their own. I don't exactly want to wait intil 2025 before having a realistic chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coentrao Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I remember once beating Man City on the Europa League by 4-0 at home(and they had a player sent off) but i couldn't afford to lose any points on the league so i thought, "it's ok anyone can park a bus so i'll just line-up a secondary team with reserves and a couple of youngsters". Yup.. lost 4-0 during the 90 minutes than conceded one more at extra time to get knocked out, completly my fault! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo_99 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Last season with Rangers (season 2013-2014) I was beaten by Real Madrid 8-0 in the final game of the Champions League group stage. Finished 3rd and qualified for the Europa league. Beat Panithanaikos 4-0 home 1st leg. Lost second leg 5-0. This season (2014-2015) I was beaten 8-1 by Spurs in the group stage away from home!!

iamboughey Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Was expecting team to be spurs for a moment but I've had this happen to me before thinking a 3-0 away win would result in an easier home victory or at least draw and end up going out, just one of things that makes football manager great though.

ac13 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I generally lose at home first then beat them away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
