ACJMY2K Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Ok, so I'm on a run of 31 straight wins in the prem in my first season at Man Utd, previous season they finished 12th. I signed a fair few players in the summer including 6 from my previous team, Fiorentina. All through the season I have blooded the youngsters, mainly in europe to a point where I have 11 players under 21 with at least 5 first team appearances, so after winning the league with 7 games to go, I come up against rock bottom Sheffield Wednesday. so I figure its a good chance to try my young uns for a full game...... http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c359/ACJMY2K/Youngsters.jpg And so ends my incredible run of straight wins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that happens really. It happen to me to, with wining the game 3 matches before it ended. I putted my youngsters (lets say 5 or 6) on the team and i lost the 3 games. This may occur because you already won the league so they don't give a damn if you loose that or they are scared, nervous to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somerandomguy Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I've made the same mistake once. Played a load of youngsters against Schalke in the CL as I'd already qualified. Lost 12-0. Never did that again.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 To me, it seems that youngsters don't really start to become truly reliable until about 23 or 24. Prior to that, they look out of their depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaroq Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 You've got to remember to adjust your media approach and your team-talk for the youngsters ... they're not going to respond with the kind of determination and professionalism that your first-teamers do. "No pressure" is a key component of the team-talk! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evon Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 You guys are rubbish. Even my youngsters put up a fight. They generally win but when they do lose they go down 3-2 or something similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACJMY2K Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 What he said. Well its clearly not the tactics as they have worked for me, and the youngsters themselves are all promising, I think just playing them all together was a mistake.......

Gypsum Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 things like that annoy me as its unrealistic. completely unrealistic. The result? Or the fact that a manager would win the league with 7 games to go, then field a team of youngsters at the top level and expect them to do well. And then make three substitutions when 2-0 down at half-time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Perhaps it IS your tactics. You've got a tactic works for 11 players, and you can afford to change 2 or 3 of that 11. However, you've changed the entire 11, meaning that the tactic doesn't work any more. Things like the jumping of the strikers, the creativity of the playmaker and the PPMs of the whole team have probably done this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
