Playing against 4-2-3-1 in Champs League

Hey guys,

So I'm playing the Champs league round of 16 tonight, I won the first leg (Home) 2-1 (After pulling off a very late comeback) The formation he used & will be using again is 4-2(MC)-3(AML, AMC, AMR)-1

Now the counter formation thread shows classic 4-4-2 as the formation to go with, I used that with very little success, Going down 0-1 early and struggling all game (Possibly against his tactics?) I believe I changed to a 4411 or a 41212 which gave me better luck late on.

My team is 5.6 points ahead in quality.

Any idea's guys?

I also will not be watching as the time of the game is at a very bad hour for me.

Thank you :)
