This was also one of the reasons I turned to a 'plug and play tactic, as a rational tactical approach sometimes was just ending in a trouncing. Fir example, when I first started my current save on this FM I wad Venezia in Italy; set up a tactic, followed assistants advice on what mentality to use, use the visual indicator to try get green on the pitch rather than orange/ red. Try to use sensible mentality pairings and TIs only to lose nearly every game of the first 14 before i wad eventually sacked. When in truth, my choices prob weren't that bad, they just didn't fit the MEs favoured settings fir this year. But logically, As a team tipped for relegation, why would I have chosen to play positive or attacking.
