@ funker
there are two roads
One is to say goodbye
The other is to continue playing and try to find how things are working and you can do about it.

Now, I forgot my bad performance in the Cup final and tried for the CL .
In the first semi final, I was playing vs a weaker team with no present manager and got only a draw. A fixed/bad day game.

then the next day I played an easy League game (without watching) and won with the 2nd best score of my season.
My 3 attackers got a 10 and my "luck" exhausted there - lol
because I had a very bad performance in Cup final.
Today I had another easy game at League and after yesterday's bad performance maybe I could have a (useless) super performance in my easy League game.
And then maybe again a bad performance in 2nd leg of the CL semi-final.
So I changed the time of my League match after the CL .
I played the CL game in auto (I was out with friends), opponent was present this time but I won rather easily 3-1 even if oppo GK had 4 saves.

If you see that the presence of a manager is not an advantage always, then adopt and try to find how to use it.
Another trick I use (as many other old players) is to use a second account to watch the game and intervene if needs to.
Some times helps, others not.
