First season of managing Man U and I'm blazing the league clear of Arsenal with seven games to go. Problem is I drew Chelsea in the quarters of the Champions League, and (through save game wisdom) I have found I cannot beat them whatever I do; beaten five times resoundingly with a full strength team out. Is it my team talks, my pre-match press talks? Up until now I was able to beat them 3-1, 3-2, but they seem to be just unstoppable in Europe. Any advice (it is the first leg)?

Team:

GK: Van Der Sar
Back 4: Brown (Or Neville/O'Shea, Vidic, Ferdinand (Or Pique), Evra.
Midfield: Ronaldo, Scholes, Carrick (Or Anderson, Hargreaves, Fletcher), Giggs (Or Nani).
Upfront: Rooney, Tevez (Or Saha).

(P.S. Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic and Anderson are one yellow away from a one game ban, so I'm wondering if I should save some of them for the more crucial semi's and final.)

Newcastle United 1 - 0 Bolton.

even though ur playing it again and again you arent trying out new tactics and such?

if you have a working tactic which is winning you all these matches, just alter that a bit. you dont need to change it completley. Try to just set it up a bit more defensivley maybe and according to how chelsea play, and rather try to stop em.

changing your tactics too much can have a negative affect as well.

I copied their tactic of 4-1-2-1-2, with Hargreaves as DM and Ronaldo playing behind the front two and just won 2 - 1 on agg after 1st and second leg. Got Porto in the semi's now, who I battered in the group stages! Cheers for the advice, btw.
