ChrisCarr1987 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 hey, I'm nearing the end of my 1st season with aston villa, 17th in the league but in semi finals of both uefa and fa cup. i play 4-4-2 , strikers carew and gabby score a lot of goals and i always have just under 60% possesion. most games i lose and i cant seem to do anything to stop conceading. i have a solid defence cueller (accomplished rb) bouma lb davies and caceres cb's, so i dont think its a weak defence but their has to be something i'm missing. any ideas? p.s its a flat 442 not diamond although barry is playing as the anchor leaving 2nd cm to push forward. wingers are quite attacking but track back.

peter-evo Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I suggest, in your next game, look at the goals carefully and see where they came from and what caused them. If you are consistantly conceding goals there is probably a pattern to how they come about. It is hard to reccomend anything when we do not know enough about the goals conceded.

Les Girondins Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Morale? Form? Fitness? Pace? Concentration? Positioning? Defensive Line? Marking? Are you constantly rotating your back two? Are your full backs doing their job defensively and not giving the ball away needlessly and inviting pressure? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oTRUTHo Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 probably the most importint thing in this game is speed? if you feild a full team of players with 20 speed you will probably win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisCarr1987 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 ... my fullbacks are not msrking very well, wingers constantly get behind them and often a striker has too much space between my 2 cb's. man marking is on for both cb's , shud i put fullbacks on man marking too?

TomHAVFC Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 i have a solid defence Obviously you don't if you concede 2 or 3 goals a game. Oh and by the way, in my first season, I finished 17th with Villa so you're not alone, Although I did win the League Cup which saved my job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
