I'm currently using Googen's RoO tactics. Downloaded EA_Mon_Hello2's versions and saved them into my archived tactics, and well impressed so far.
How and ever, i've been caught out twice now when playing away from home - i was leading 2-1 at Arsenal, they came back and won 3-2, then at Middlesborough i was 1-0 up at half time, only for them to come back and win 2-1. After the 'Boro game the fans were still happy because we bossed the game and should have won - but the Arsenal game - well, they just took over.
Against Arsenal, i started with the 10-16 Away tactic - then went down to the 9-15 Away after going 2-1 up... tried in vain to go more attacking after they hit the front but no go.
Any advice as to how i should approach playing the bigger teams at their place??

If you already know its futile to go down, why do you still do?
Well, really i want to know how to set the team up from the outset - before kick off.
Was i throwing too much caution to the wind by using the 10-16 away tactic against Arsenal?
Well, if you are leading .. away from home, against a top team .. And you've seen going a bit defensive is futile... Why do you still insist on going defensive after leading.. Just keep sticking to the tactic would be much preferable IMO. I used Arsenal, but my 2nd team met 1st team West Ham in League cup, after leading them away, instead of going defensive, I kick a notch up.. They cant recover from it. I used the same principle as Googen's RoO. I started with 17-9 and ends the game with 18-10 set(the same as my home tactic).
