HNow do I stop this?

My players keep 'knocking the ball into space' in front of them, but always right into the feet of the opposition.

They're even doing it in my own penalty box leading to goals. This is clearly not realistic, but what slider can I nudge a millimeter to one side to stop it?

Anyone?

Get some valium Jimmy man, or some sleep.

Most of this is covered in various theory threads, but you could try:

1) Moving "try through balls" to "never". It sounds like the defence are constantly trying through balls and just not doing it.

2) Increasing the passing length to encourage a further boot upfield or...

3) Decreasing the passing length encouraging a clearance rather than a pass

4) Decreasing mentality to make the defenders more aware of their defensive duties. If in doubt, hoof it

5) Increasing tempo to encourage a quicker decision, or...

6) Decreasing tempo to make the defender not rush and choose a poor pass

Hope that helps, but if not I'd strongly suggest the Valium.
