The Pochettino Story | Season 2
Forum Discussion
I second @Danimal5981 's question. Looks like Poch were a bit too afraid of the big game. Approaching the game with more confidence could perhaps have helped..?
I did the same a few days ago. Tried a few games with Bayern, just for fun. Won 4-0 in the first game, easily, with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Then tried a 3-4-3 next and was lucky to get 3-3 in the next game. Applying one more central defender was supposed to improve the defence. And the exact opposite happened. Sounds like you had similar defensive issues in your Chelsea-game.

It all depends how you set up those wide players in FIFA / FC games: as wing backs they stay wide and return to defend. However, as RM and LM they always creep to the inside (even though you give instructions to stay wide) and they neither support defence or attack that much, which leaves the back three very vulnerable as centre backs are usually not very fast or agile.
- @LABoog4 I find the foirmation changes to result in dramatically different results - often ridiculously so.
I have struggled in some matches only to find a tweak suddenly makes the opposition really bad and I rattle in goals. Even just sometimes getting my front two to change places can make a big difference.
It's never quite so dramatic in real life, but there you go.
