I find it hard to understand how you can go from smashing 10 past him and keeping a clean sheet to struggling to score and letting in 5 in the process. Did you keep the same tactics? Bizarre!
I'm no genius on the subject on tactics but I think you should only defend with defensive formations. Like for 5-3-2 or something like that.
For your formation, I would go with normal against similar levels or attack against really weak sides, never go hard defending or hard attacking unless you're watching the match and need to hold on or chase the match late in the game.
I cant understand too...

Here might be your problem. Your instructions are random. You are attacking to out shoot your opponent, I get that but you are closing down the whole pitch, that's what he wants. So he can long ball it to his 3 strikers when you're most vulnerable. Short passing would of been ideal, and then maybe changing to mixed if you find he's getting more chances. Your formation is suited to short, changing to long ball to hoof it up to 1 striker on his own is a waste unless you're countering, but you're not.
Here's the kicker... against 3 wide defenders, formations based around attacking the middle of the pitch are quite effective. For example, 4-1-2-1-2 narrow or 4-4-1-1 etc etc. These are just from what I've learned.
Also, against tough opposition, hard tackling is a must. You don't want them to have the ball. You just have to take the risk.

I think he wants to long pass his ball to the winger, it always been used in EPL
Long ball to Gareth Bale lol. Spurs tactics. The long balls will be directed to his striker who has nobody to knock it down to. Half the long balls wont even reach the striker.
my team @ http://forum.topeleven.com/team-show...ears-fc-2.html
League : winner (S1, S2, S3, S6, S7) , runner up (S4*, S5*) * was in holiday away
CL: Winner (S4, S7), runner up (S2, S3, S5, S6)
Cup: Winner (S3)
sorry, but I don't really see what your gripe is here... Yes, you were unlucky in the cup but the team you were playing were no pushovers. yes, on paper your team edged it but his team were still packed with scout players probably bought previous seasons....
as for the league game. you were unlucky with a red card and that changed the game. and not having tackling set to hard wont change that. Red cards happen. we are angry when they happen to us and we smile when they happen to the opponents!
