Sacked Second Season

Does anyone else have their teams performance slump second season? My latest save was with Everton and my first season was deemed a success. Although my players didn't perform to the level i think they are capable of, my tactic was solid and we gridded out the results to finish 3rd and runner up in the Fa Cup.



So i started the second season highly optimistic about my teams chances. I let most of the aging players go and went about building my team up to face European opponents. I was dissapointed to have to let Baines go for ?15m but i felt i got a very competent replacement in Danny Rose. I also thought Mitrovic would be the final piece to my team in the absent of Lukaku. However the season started poorly and never picked itself up. Serious injury to Osman and Mitrovic early on weakened me and it seemed like we couldn't beat anyone.

I struggle to understand how a tactic capable of giving me a 3rd place finish has instantly become unplayable. First season my team rarely conceded or lost and now suddenly we cant beat anyone and cant keep a clean sheet. I have made slight changes to my tactic to work it around my new players and yet its all gone horribly wrong.

This has happened now on a few saves and each time i get sacked in the second season i lose my motivation to bother starting a new save. Sacked twice at liverpool, once a west ham, at arsenal and now everton.
