at home anfield is a fortress again, not many come away with a point

but away its really hard

at home 4-4-2....reasonbly attacking

then away i will drop the defensive line slightly, maybe man mark the main creater

but still losses by 2 goals often

tips please.

normal mentality,direct passing,counter attacks,sarrow the strikers

or change the formation, play 4-5-1, with a DMC, always helped me when i managed chelsea, winning almost every away game and playing good to :thup:

Might wanna try put the "Width" slider to 6... (Narrow)

Using Defensive Line on "Deep" or near it only works in my opinion when the opposition has fast strikers..

retired_bobfitness

I often here people say you should have width set to narrow for away games, but then people also say concentrate on passing it down the flanks, isn't this contradictive?

brian_121

Sounds like it, doesn't it, but, If you arn't in possesion of the ball you'll notice your team narrow, once you gain the ball your team fans out a little even on narrow. It's a question of how much. If you pass down the flanks this I suppose in theory will pull their defence/midfield out a bit and make space for you.

After saaying that...I have a very good home record but my away record is as patchy as hell, with a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, 3-0 defeat to both Chelsea and Everton being the most recent..back to the drawing boards

SIDE ARROW YOUR STRIKERS TOO. AND TICK COUNTER ATTACK. BELLAMYS PACE IS AN ASSET AND HAS BAGGED LOADS ON THE BREAK AWAY FROM HOME FOR ME, AND EVEN CREATED ALOT OF GOALS FOR CROUCH. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU PLAY DIRECT AND TEMPO ABOVE 10.
