[FM 19 Striker not performing/scoring (03/04DB)]

On my 4th season using mad scientists DB, won league in first season as that arsenal team was unbelievable, Since then Henry has struggled for goals, sometimes going 3/4 games without scoring, I have not won the league since first season, we are 2nd now in the table after 9 games, defense is performing but Henry isn't banging them in, Robben was top scorer last season, Henry was a couple of goals behind, Kaka is performing amazingly at SS, so what in your opinion should i change, does an SS need a Support striker in front of him?

Just "mark tighter" on the mezzalas and dlp.   

I have since changed the right winger to inside forward as I was drawing too many games away, been successful so far.

Finished season by losing title on last day by a point,. Utd scored in 94minute in their game. Got revenge against them in champions league final coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2

You need to post a screenshot of your tactic, so that I could see the whole setup, not just the formation and pressing. Context is important (including the quality of your players).

Here you go, in previous FMs I had a very successful 523 tactic, I liked the mezzala role so decided to try it this year.

I didn't want to jump on the gegenpressing bandwagon as lesser teams just sit back and its nearly impossible to draw them out and break them down. I wanted a fast counter tactic once we won the ball back. 

I'm in the 4th season with arsenal so have quite a strong side, won 2fa cups, europa league and one PL, Man U have been formidable!!

Excellent read, really helped me setting up my defensive instructions, I always create my own tactics and love the learning curve involved in that.

This year when looking at other tactics I see quite alot have counter press and extremely urgent pressing something which you discourage to have these too selected. In my own tactic I have conterpress and urgent pressing, should I drop the TI to less urgent pressing, my 433 tactic is working quite well, 1 defeat and 2 draws in 18 games.
