Its probably either the team morale or tactics and the quality of your players compared to the other team. I find that keeping players with very high morale is very rewarding. Also you might want to note the overall personality of your squad, I try to keep mine as 'Determined'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my personal expirience a llot of luck plays into it. I have some awesome seasons and seasons where i play just as well but win nothing yet be in the final for everything. Having said that you seem to be getting lots of bad luck. I think it must just be bad luck, your doing something right if you can get into all these finals. The amount youve lost on penos as well, just slaps of bad luck, im sure it'll come good soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navie Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Not the time Paul...It's nearly 2am and i have work at 9...:confused: Your best bet for a quick solution is to make sure that all your players are kept with Superb and Very Good morale for peak performance, if your team has Superb/Very good morale NEVER respond to media comments for next opponents because their is no need to as you will risk their morale as some players react differently to other players to media comments.

Snoweel Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Your best bet for a quick solution is to make sure that all your players are kept with Superb and Very Good morale for peak performance, if your team has Superb/Very good morale NEVER respond to media comments for next opponents because their is no need to as you will risk their morale as some players react differently to other players to media comments. Definitely. Media comments add a randomness factor - that means they benefit the underdog. If you're favourites and your morale's good you have virtually nothing to gain by adding this random element to your preparation. Another thing that's very important, especially in the big matches is team talks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

george94 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 tbh, it is your tactics. I know you don't want to hear it but the teams you're losing to our better than you so you need to alter your tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Aja Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 What is your squad personality? Perhaps you need to get in a few more experienced "Determined" players? Players like this can make all the difference. If your team is "Ambitious/Very Ambitious" you will struggle towards the end of the season, I've found this to be the case anyway. I think it's because ambitious players want to win, but are not determined enough to work their ass off for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilb242 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've had a similar experience. If you are going well in all cups, like FA cup, League Cup and a European competition, when you get to the later stages look at your fixture list. It'll be crammed, and you'll be playing three, even four games a week sometimes. No matter how good your players are, you'll find it hard to send out your best eleven in all these games. You probably have to rotate, rest players, even prioritise which trophy is more important to you, and make the relevant changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcormack Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 i would say its most likely your team talks on the day. go in to the match with a bit more confidence, say i expect a win that should motivate them more to win and if you lose then you have all summer to bring their morale back up. also you are playing against superior teams in these matches as someone already said. i think it could be your approach to games aswell, if you watched Rangers' UEFA cup run last season you could see that they could beat teams over two legs through things like playing defensive and relying on away goals and counter attacks from teams needing to open up more. in the one leg final they had no way of beating zenit as zenit didnt need to open up or chase the game so their defensive tactics coudnt work. this might be happening to you aswell. if so you need to adjust your tactics for the final. without seeing all the information we cant really find the answer to your problem without guessing or saying things like bad luck.
