serma said: So this is what I'm talking about, he is the only player in the entire squad who hasn't learned his position in 43 matches. Maybe PF doesn't get trained if I don't specify his role in training, but rather pure ST roles keep getting trained? Or am I just putting completely wrong player in a wrong position, however he can play both AMC and ST which makes it kinda weird for me Expand
The game might be automatically training him for the AF role, so just put on the training to Pressing Forward (Support) and you should be fine

A combination of gegenpress and wing play

I like to leave it on balanced mentality, but if you want to start the game on cautious mentality and then as the game goes on (around minute 30) change back to balanced mentality
Jos said: Hi, just a few questions I’ve used the tactic and done really well. Personally in my fourth season with Coventry using it. Firstly what I’ve noticed is that some games if I score first my team just sits off when I don’t change anything they basically invite the opposition to score. Secondly some games it’s really flimsy defensively in some games especially towards the end of games is there anyway to hold on to a lead better? Expand
For the "sits off when I don’t change anything they basically invite the opposition to score." I don't know as this is a very high pressing tactic, so I would look at the work rates of the players, in top leagues I recommend to have first team players with at least 12 work rate and for those below the threshold have it as an additional focus

As for keeping a lead for the end game follow these instructions from this post and you should be fine
I set the additional focus to a weakness the player has
