Like many of things Nordeus do to this game, this is purely designed to make you spend and therefore have to buy more tokens. Players comments have no relevance to results. I've just won a cup match 5-1 against a team of similar rating and most of the players are saying they are disappointed with team performance. So instead of about half of the team losing some morale, the whole team has. The game bleeds you dry for tokens, you can't even tank for a season any more without being stripped of your Associations tokens. For these reasons I will be quitting the game at the end of the season.
