I drew Man Utd in the FA Cup, expecting to be brutally murdered.

Was 1-0 up at half time (Blue Square Premier, get in) and then lost 6-1 :D.

Hmm you are conceding quite a bit. Tried making your defenders defend lower down the pitch?

So you are losing the lead. After half time? It could be that you aren't giving the players the right messages and encouragement so they just mess around in the second half and let goals in.

Yes normally in the second half.
 
So are the players knackered by half time or are they just acting as if they've won the match? Perhaps you need to start telling them they need to finish the job and not to relax.
 
The half time messages could be slightly wrong, that will account for the goals conceeded in the second half of games.

As Marc said, whats the condition of the players usually at half time?

Tried any other formations?

That'll probably help. :)

What workload is your fitness coach(s) on? And what rating? You could be giving your coach(s) too much too do hence poor fitness.

Found a team talks thread on SI Games' forum. Hope it helps. :)

Oh, you dont know how much Im looking forward to it. Ferrari 1-2 at Albert Park. Always been a Ferrari / Bridgestone track.

Cant wait to see Kimi and his new Ferrari in race trim :D

The start is going to be intresting though, no lauch control, no traction control, can see a few people stalling :p

Thinking the exact same. Kimi got pole, fastest race lap and win! He even went off and still won. Not a bad start as a Ferrari driver. :) Might add you to MSN so we can talk Kimi and F1 sometime? :)
