I'm here basically to look for some help with the touchline instructions. I use these quite alot however doesent seem to come to effect. I need some help knowing which instructions to use and when. Any feedback would be grateful, thanks.
 
Just leave them alone

Although if you are desperate I set my Tottenham team to work ball into box and exploit the wings
 
I summed them up from the Tactical Theorems thing on this site...

Retain - holds on to possession; to keep the ball from the opposition to hold on to a lead

Get Ball Forward - When not penetrating the opposition; when needing a goal later in the game; when playing on a large pitch

Pass Into Space - Like 'Get Ball Forward' and when playing against a side slow team

Pass to Feet - When passing is poor; when many passes are being intercepted

Pump Ball Into Box - When needing a goal late on in the game; when possessing taller, stronger forwards than the opposition defenders

Clear Ball to Flanks - When trying to hold on to a lead late on in the game; when possessing quick wingers who are good on the counter attack.

Shoot on Sight - When playing against a side who are defending in numbers; when struggling to get any shots; when needing a goal at all costs

Work Ball Into Box - When having too many long shots; when midfielders are poor at long shots

Exploit the Flanks - When the opposition are narrow; when playing with good wide players; when playing with a team who are good at crossing; when playing on a wide pitch

Exploit the Middle - When not playing with any wider players; when the opposition are leaving gaps in the middle; when playing on a narrow pitch

Look For Overlap - When using excellent attacking full backs; when needing more passing options in the final third; when playing against a weak side

Take a Breather - To slow the pace of the game; to keep players fit when in the lead; to calm the game down

Play Wider - When the opposition is attacking down the wings; when needing more space to break down the opposition; when playing on a wider pitch

Play Narrower - When the opposition is attacking through the centre; when needing to keep the game tight and reducing space for the opposition; when playing on a narrow pitch

Push Up - When playing against slow strikers; when playing against a team sitting deep; when needing to reduce the space of the opposition

Drop Deeper - When playing against quicker strikers; when playing against a team pushing up

Hassle Opponents - When needing to regain possession quickly; when playing against a slow, inferior team; when needing to reduce space for the opposition

Stand Off - When playing against a quick, superior team; when needing to hold team defensive shape

Get Stuck In - When needing to regain possession quickly; when playing against a team with little bravery; when not getting a high enough tackles completed percentage

Stay on Feet - When conceding too many free kicks; when looking to hold defensive shape; when playing against very quick players good at riding a tackle

Play Even Safer - Late on in a game when facing an onslaught

Take More Risks - Late on in a game when absolutely desperate for a goal
