This basically means the opposition's defensive line got too much time on the ball to dedicate play, create opportunities etc. Try playing 'pressing' with 'offside trap' but for this to be effective your players (especially forward line) need good stamina and team work otherwise you just tire them out quickly and waste your own chances of scoring goals.

Thank you I will try doing this

I feel like that message sometimes pops up even with "pressing" on.  I think it may also have to do with how successful the other team are with passing the ball.  I'll have to remember to pay attention to opponent's pass completion % next time I see that message.

Agree. It most of the time pops up when I'm being outplayed on an off day or when I play a small team and face much stronger opposition. Little one can do in such cases.
