reece1973 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I dont usually watch a full game so i can see whats going on, but ive been struggling alot so thought i would set a tactic and see what goes on properly. What i have noticed is alot of my players seems to be dwelling with the ball and either falling over from a tackle or/and then losing possession. Is there anyway i can adjust my tactic to sort this out. Dembele is one of the worst for it. Constantly giving the ball away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Odom Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Counter employs quite some time wasting tactics. This means players retain the ball when the counter is not viable. There could also be the issue of players not having any passing options, so it could be down to player roles/fluidity/... Maybe you could also drop the "higher tempo" instruction because when countering, your players will use a higher rate of exchanging passes anyway, so you could give them a break when counterattacking is not an option. They will pass more smoothly then imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
^Goose^ Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 This can often be caused by a player with the 'Dwells on ball' PPM but more often than not its because they dont have another play to pass to which is mostly a tactic issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auqakuh Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 They're holding the ball while waiting for a pass to be available, as others have said. It could be that your passing needs to be more direct because of too much space between players, that you need to play narrower, or that you don't have the right duties set to ensure movement between the lines with your chosen philosophy.

etcetera Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Or you can make Dembele dribble more. He's got 18 for dribbling right? If your entire team is marked that often means only 1 person on Dembele, if he beats that person he's in the clear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
