Back to basics?

[FVS0777]

...I'm thinking of dropping the main Casuals team as of the end of this season, as it appears that either there is something inherently wrong with it or Nordeus somehow has got it in for them.

League match this morning, at home against team higher in table but about 2Q lower, with full stadium and my presence (only), 13% possession advantage. At the first rating reporting, instead of showing ratings in the range of 6.5-6.8 as usual, all of them were 6.5 and were then immediately marked down to 6.1-6.2, and the opposition immediately scored, and again about 5 minutes later. Long story short, nothing I tried made any difference, 0-3 down in the second half and at 70 minutes the 'assistant manager' reported 'Well that's it, why don't we rest our best players for the next match?'. Final score 1-4.

That is the latest in a long line of results of that sort (albeit without the immediate markdown) in the past three seasons where a 6* squad with a few 5* reserves has had superiority in quality over the opposition, formation set to counter opponent, manager presence possession advantage, 99% fitness and all morale superb, do absolutely nothing, and frankly, I'm getting right fed up with it.

I'm having the same thing talisman on my last CHL match that I lost 1-0 was felling hopeless as the team didn't respond and the assistant is not helping I am thinking to switch off.
