Manager mode is terrible

What is wrong with manager mode, my team just won’t play, they can’t put 3 passes together, they do everything not to score, seriously it would be easier to score but my team go out of their way not too, they dominate in possession nearly every game, but the players just dance around the box passing it over and back and never shoot, now the defenders or just standing there like they are waiting for instruction, they never tackle, they run away from the ball, if the ball is in contest between my player and the opponents player my player just stops running for the ball, even if he is closer to the ball he makes the effort to run for it but then just stops before he gets there, like WTF
