Here is a link to the game.
It's TvZ, not the best build order, but I managed to out-spend and out-mine my opponent. Result was from minute 10 to minute 15, I had a massive army advantage (in terms of resources AND supply, maybe my composition was wrong?). In the game I didn't realize that, though.
However, despite having twice (or at times even three times) the army of my opponent, I couldn't get anything done with it, and still lost. I think it must come down to my engagements, that's my guess. Is there a way I can improve my engagements so I can win at the moments I am so far ahead?

Hey there watched the replay, and, as you are a gold league player I understand that you're far from perfect so I'm not going to overly critical of your play however, as with most lower league players, the biggest thing killing your game plan is your economy. Forget the drop harass, and any micro, it's superfluous when your economy is weak.
For a full minute, in between about 7:40 and 8:40 not a single SCV was being produced. There were some occasional supply blocks but with a CC first build, usually you can get maxed out with 2-2 upgrades around 14mins. With imperfect execution you should get there by at least 16:00 mins if you're dealing with pressure or attacking, or you make a bunch of macro mistakes which is fine because your not a Masters player.
At 16:00mins you are at 145/146 supply with +2 attack about to finish and +1 armor. You are on 3 bases, but are heavily under-saturated on your 3rd with only 9 SCV's. Your main has only 12 SCV's. You need 16 SCV's on minerals per base (not including gas).
Do not build a planetary at your 3rd. You can easily defend that with your army, and you need a 3rd orbital for scans and MULE's. You make a Planetary at your 4th because it's harder to defend. Not your 3rd.
Seriously that is all I have to say about the game, nothing else really matters that much. I suggest refining your build order in a custom match against easy AI, and focus on fixing your economy and having a better TvZ game-plan. Notice how I gave 0 f#cks about your opponent. He played horribly so It doesn't matter what he did in that game. That being said, scouting roach timings, baneling all ins, speedling all ins, roach bane busts are super important, but if you can't get your economy sorted, it doesn't matter if you scout it, you won't have the units to defend it.
Add me in game - Hyuken.329. I will give you FREE coaching. I love to coach because it kinda of coaches me as well in that I also refine my fundamentals in the process so I have no problem doing this. I can use Skype and we can go through a build order together and focus on your economy.
I am a Diamond level Terran player and can nail a 2-2 timing against Zerg for one reason, and one reason only. I practiced a pro build order against easy AI probably at least 50 times. Not all at once, but I would constantly go back to make sure my execution was sound. That and of course getting roach/bane busted or speedling all inned in actual ladder games helped me to stay safe getting there, by scouting what time Zerg get's their 3rd etc etc.
So yea let me help you man I'd be happy too!.
