So the second half is about to begin and I'm dreading the walk out of the dressing room, the referee's whistle as play is about to be resumed. I'm 3-0 down, no surprise there because of some schoolboy errors in the first half, as well as too much ball-watching and not enough off-the-ball running.

The closest I came to a goal in the previous 45 mins was a shot unexpectedly deflecting off a defender into the net, but before I could celebrate it turns out I was off-side. I hate always being off-side.

The good news is that I still have all my 3 substitutes, so I can adjust my play as needed. I have 2 options. I can choose to sit back, pull my men behind the ball and lock up my goal to prevent a white-wash. I'm reasonably confident I can avoid conceding any more goals, but that will mean I won't score any, either.

Or I can throw everyone forward in a gung-ho attempt to pull that one crucial goal back that will greatly inspire my guys, and maybe, just maybe, enough to do a Liverpool. On the other hand, if I fail, if I end up on the wrong side of a double-digit score, the shame will be that much worse.

At least I've learnt from my mistakes. Being over-awed by my opponents in the first half, I ended up hitting the long ball every time, simply hoping that my strikers would somehow profit from them. No such luck. With my midfielders making too many solo runs, it was no wonder I always lost the ball to the other team. That won't be happening again in the second half.

Despite the depressing scoreline, patience is the name of the game: knowing when to go for the killer blow, just when your opponent's concentration slips for that one vital instant. The most ironic thing I've learnt is that more often than not, it is the mistakes my opponents make, rather than any individual moments of brillance, that make or break the game - IF I can capitalise on those errors.

What do I do?

Advice, please.
