I find it much easier to just quickly fling my mouse over to where the other player is rather than fiddling with hitting buttons. It'd be different if the play area was way bigger or something.
I use the full width of my screen. Just stick:

Hey hrm, this may be useful to me. But what is the point of unselecting the player you are using? Then does that mean no one moves until you put that mouse over a player again? I always thought I was very good with a mouse (or maybe I just suck that much more with a keyboard).
I also don't bother with space bar any more. I just use Shift a lot (whenever I lose possession or I think one of my players might be getting in the way) and my normal run-of-the-mill £10 wired optical mouse.

Why don't the rest of my players move around while I am controlling someone else? Makes it very hard to pass the ball around.
You don't really need to pass the ball around. Once you take possession just head up for a shot.

Feel free to laugh at my most kittens question thus far. How come I can't GET the ball and how come all it does is get stolen from me? Embarassed
If I "bump into" the ball on accident sometimes I get it, usually not. And if I do accidentally get it, I lose it so fast of course I can do nothing with it.
You take possession by approaching the opponent player that has the ball from the front, or as close as possible. Some teams are better at tackling, and have a larger 'working tackle angle' if you like, so they are more likely to be able to tackle from the side. If you're finding it hard to tackle try another team. According to my notes so far Altador is pretty good at tackling, but is a little fast, which won't help... so try Kreludor, which also has good tackling (at least in my tests so far, which has included v Jelly).
