I think If you're in trouble, the most important thing is to try and get out effectively, not by playing open and nice football. Even if you keep picking up 1 point every game, you'll eventually get out of it.
Try going 4-5-1 with a defensive midfielder infront of the defence. Play defensive minded and keep the passing short so that when you get the ball, you're keeping it.
Have you're defensive midfielder's mentality set to as high defensively as it will go. Move his closing down bar quite a few to the left so he will sit in the hole and close that space. The rest of the midfielders you want their closing down to be high and you're striker to hold up the ball.
Sorry but I've not got much more time to help you, if you're still struggling later I can elaborate a bit more.
