Hm, the tactics look good.
I'd use Xabi Alonso as the defensive playmaker, and always use him as the deepest midfielder. I see you're using Sissoko as the deepest in some of your formations, and I'd switch them so that Sissoko is the one running forward. That way, you can use Alonso as a sort of Pirlo playmaker. He always get's the ball deep, then creates scoring chances from the deep midfield role. Set his forward runs to "rarely", run with ball "mixed" and his long shots and through balls to often. Set his passing to the middle left (between short and mixed), and his closing down to the middle right (between normal and often).
This way, you'll have a complete midfield player who's always playable, who can create scoring chances for you, and a very good first defender. You'll also give Steven Gerrard more attacking freedom, and won't have to depend on him to defend. You can even put him higher up in the field, as a "clean" attacking midfielder, so that he can get more shots off towards the goal. I'd set Sissoko to close down maximum, tackle hard and mix his forward runs. This way, he'll be the sort of battling midfielder, saving Steven Gerrard and Alonso a lot of energy to use their technical skills.
I'd also set the focus passing thing to down both flanks, and have Cisse and Vicente crossing the ball towards the target man (Crouch).
As I said, set Crouch as the target man, and set your wingers cross aim to "target man". Crouch's jumping stat is 20, so you'll no doubt want to exploit that. Also, get him to hold the ball up for maybe Gerrard or the wingers. Morientes will probably also work well as a target man, being strong in the air.
You could also experiment with two strikers if you're having trouble scoring.
Hope this will help you
