What he is talking about is that you are claiming here FM is crap and you lost 3 games in row that you dominated with 20+ shots on goal vs a couple of shots, but you don't provide us with screenshots!
When you making claims like this better show some proof or better post it IN the bugs forum and upload your save game to the SI server!!!

18, 15 and 23 shots, I will post it when it happens again, which it will.

Of course it will happen again. Most teams experience defeat of this nature at some point. In fact, it tends to be the better sides that suffer this kind of defeat. They may not lose often, but when they do, this is generally how they lose. And, as you stated, your team is second in the league.

My ignore list.

ps why on Earth not ?

i fully agree on the poster...i have tons of chances and rarely score while the opponent has perhaps 20 % shots and shots on goal and still beats me...its ridiculous

What are your strikers' stats for finishing and composure?

It is NOT NOT NOT your tactics even though many will try a tell you it is. Which really infuriates me :-(

I believe it is a problem with this game, as I have had the same thing,

I was top of the league by xmas smashing everyone in sight, then bang, all of a sudden (I was still smashing everyone in sight - shots on/off, possesion etc.) but my whole team could not score :-( and I kept losing matches I was dominating.

Dont tell me, that by xmas the AI has figured out my tactics so now I need to 'tweak' them. If this was the case, I wouldnt be creating the 'good' chances in the first place and still dominating games.

AND, when was the last time Man Utd changed the way they play after the oppostion had so called 'sussed' their tactic? Answer is NEVER because they let the oppostion worry about them and let their world class players do what they do best, play fast attacking football.

I will try to help and make some sense why this can happen.
Ever considered after your last years 2nd place that maybe your strikers and better players hoped for a wage raise?
Maybe they react now to this by not scoring anymore!
This game is very logical but you can often miss small things that can lead to bad results and imo FM08 is very punishing when you do forget things.
To you these stats seem not fair, but looking through the eyes of your players not getting a wage raise after an incredible season also isn't fair to them.
On the other hand in many occasions i noticed that morale and pressure have much effect on games, maybe that could also be the case.
But yes something is wrong when you do have such results in row, but i can assure you this itself isn't a bug, otherwise every game would end with the dominating team losing.
This is more due to something you don't do or maybe did wrong in their eyes before those games.

If this happened to me in last case i would change my tactics because they create chances obviously.
But at least tweaking them and having good team talks and opposite instructions could help a lot.
Also i would check my strikers wage demands, by offering them a new contract.
If they ask for much more then their current wages, then you can be sure that's the problem.

I hope this helps you out somewhat.
