I have been saying this for a few months and the "wise" old heads ,not all just some ,laughed at me and said I didnt know what I was talking about. Never watched a game in the last 2 seasons of my 2 teams , lower tier team has 2 Leagues a Cup , a CL and CL runner up and a Super Cup , higher tier team has 1 League and a third(on gd) , a Cup and a CL runner up in that time.

Its stupid but the worst thing you can do is watch your team but if you must watch then if your winning put your hands in your pockets and do nothing but watch.

i watch every game when i can and see no difference , what i do see is AI engine favouring the absent manager it was noticeable in a cup game last season when away team with absent manager clearly had different tactics from defensive in 1st half to attacking in second,that could only be a built in AI decision

And to those who don't believe you can tell: when the animation shows your GK punting to put the ball back in play, if all of your players are at midfield or more advanced, your team is set to "attacking". If your players are closer to your GK, your team is set to "defending". Same for opponent, and you can see when it changes.
