The game engine is that random and similarly trying to troll me as well. My attack scored 54 goals in 10 ties in cup, yet I could only score from an early corner in the final, then missing everything for 115 minutes. The only saving grace was my attackers scoring the penalties and got away with it.
Horrible final to lose there. We all feel for you.
Difficult for you to take in anything now for sure, though as said before it may be better with a few good subs on the bench to hopefully shake things up when needed. No pun intended there.
