fofos Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I was wondering if telling your players you can win this ever worked for you guys. For me in the games I tell them that I end up losing or drawing at most with also conceeding goals really early in the match. I use that saometimes under the guidelines to use it when I am playing a more or less equal team based on odds. But it never seems to work good. In fact for the fans seems to always be the better pre-match talk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It worked on 09, but I only used it for a mid table team against another mid table team. It never worked in 08! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupal Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It seems to work OK for me. My latest save with a Serie C Italian side who aren't at all good has seen me unbeaten through the pre-season and the cup and the first 2 games of the league season. I've used it if the match is likely to be fairly close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebu Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Cannot speak for 08, which I skipped, but in all the other versions that had that team talk feature it worked yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pires29 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Worked for me many times in the game, 1 or 2 nil down at half-time and i've came back to win or draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
forzautd Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I use it every single game. apart from rival games where I use for the fans. Or if the oppo are heavily favoured Ill use no pressure. so yes it work sthe majority of the time for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchie Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 never works for me i stay well clear of that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neevesc Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It has worked for me on a few occasions. I look at the HT score, check the match stats and if my team are creating lots of chances, and the score is close (draw or losing by 1 goal), then I'll use it.

Ashley_Tofte Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 same for me as neevetc, if the score is a draw, and my side has created a lot of chances i use that, and "have faith" in my striker. Edit: & It seems to work well for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OG.L Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It always works for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsoluteGenius Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It worked like a charm for me in 08, but I no longer use it in 09. I have much more success with 'Expect to win the match' at the start, and if I'm losing at half-time, 'Perform much better'/'We need a result here, no excuses!'.

damienroden Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It was the only one I used in 08, was the only one you could use as all the others damaged your team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silten Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 It has worked for me on a few occasions. I look at the HT score, check the match stats and if my team are creating lots of chances, and the score is close (draw or losing by 1 goal), then I'll use it. Same here. I steer clear of it apart from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleyRovers Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I never use it, but im paranoid so i may be wrong =] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpsch89 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 in my game as farsley celtic i use it at the start of every game unless im playing one of the best teams in the league or one of the worst. if the game is a draw at half time i usually use it again. it works for me all the time and the others seem to have mixed results.

ScobieB Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Seems to work well for me if I come in at half time drawing. Of what I remember it was quite an important part of Wolfsongs team talks guide wasnt it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I tend to avoid this until I'm a mid-table side playing a bigger team. Gives the lads a bit of extra belief. Either that or they pee their pants at my audacity of trying to make them think they know how to play football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambi Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Never works before a match but a 0-0 or a 1-0 down at half time it works wonders trust me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
