Couldnt Buy a Clean Sheet!!!

I am currently conceding too many goals. I have tried numerous tactics but I'm not happy trying too outscore the opponent 4-3, 3-1 etc I'd much rather have a good old 1-0 or 2-0.
Does anybody have any ideas on formation positioning and Team/Player instructions which will help me plugs the gaps?

i have the same problem with everton but it may be due to allowing your players to have too much freedom which i think is my problem... you should probably play narrower, get your players to stay on their feet, maybe stand off opponents if you're using a weaker team, drop deeper, and tell your players to play more disciplined

Reallly depends on what team you are playing. If nothing else works, try switching about your back four, giving some fringe players a chance.
