Default Can you play defensively??

I wonder if the game let you play defensively..
I have tried many defensive tactics with top teams and small ones but even if I have the best defensive midfielders in the world still can't keep a clean sheet..
Is any of you play defensively or have you make a solid defensive line?
I started thinking that in this game you cannot apply a defensive tactic...

2nd Leg with a 2-0 lead I used my defensive tactic - All outfield players set to CB instructions -
Result 2-1 win with 25 shots on goal
Tempo ultra slow passing ultra short
Not sure if you can create a more defensive tactic?

I left mentality at normal last game so set it to defensive with deep DL - played MU away and a 0-0

5 SOTs each

I'm currently using a 3-3-2-1-1 tactic with my ManU game and nearly halfway through my first season. Thus far I've kept a complete clean sheet, only goals scored against we're either in the friendlies or the community shield and only then they were from either penalties or corners.

Last night I had a CL game against Valencia and despite them having the lion's share of possession (I had about 40%) I whipped them 3-0. I think they had about 3 shots at goal, all off target.

Only problem I am having though is against lesser teams in Premiership games as I tend to draw more.
