After every game, win or lose, it's a good idea to realistically evaluate how your team played. Questions you might ask yourself include:
The answers to these questions should give you insight as to your teams strengths and weaknesses. If, for example, you aren't getting enough shots on goal, you may want to try different players at Forward, a different formation, or a different style of play. If you lost because the other team had a great striker who scored a lot of goals, you should be alert in the future and assign a fast, tough defender to "shadow mark" this type of player. If you FB's are slow and you give up a lot of goals on breakaways, consider a 3-2-2-3 formation and "Defending Deep". (See "Attacking", "Coaching Rules", "Defense", "Formations", "First Attacker", "Styles of Play", "Attacking Plan", & "Tips" for more ideas).
