Tactical Question

Hi,

I am now into my third season with Burnley. I have managed to get us playing some good attacking, possession-based football. However, often we dominate games (60%-65% possession) but still concede about 3 clear cut chances, which often results in a scoring draw.

How do I stop this from happening? I have tried putting all my defenders, aside from my right back, on "close down less often" and "mark tighter" but it's still no use.

Also, I'd prefer if my striker was normally ahead of my AM and AP but that normally isn't the case.

Here are my tactics:

I play 4231 Narrow, Fluid Control. Shorter passing, retain possession, work ball into box, play out of defence, exploit the middle, play wider, push higher up, close down more, use tighter marking, prevent short gk distribution, lower tempo, be more expressive.

left-right: GK(D), FB(D), CD(D), CD(D), CWB(S), DLP(S), BWM(D), AM(A), AP(S), AP(A), CMPF(S).

Thanks guys.
