Parking Bus 5-4-1, counter strategy doesn't work.

I had to win with 3:1 score, but the result remained 1:1. As a result, I'm out off the cup. Can anyone please give an example how to counter this stupid formation?

Well I can say that last night (as some people knows here) I played the match of cup, against a team with a 4-1-4-1. surprise for me.... only "1" ST was attacking me and did 2 goals in the 1st match! in this second match Iplayed with a 3-5-2 and I draw 1-1
the 1st match I loose 3-0 playing with a 4-3-3 so....


..-.-''' I have seen a thing, and is that, "the very attacking" mentality, is worst than the normal "attacking mentality".....

My opinion for you; is that you have to play 3-4-3 the arrows, have to be defensive in the defense line but attacking in all other (so, it seems 80% team attacking) buuttt,,, ...about the mentality; we have to discover a thing, and is this;

to win a defensive team, maybe the tactic is use, what I've said 3-4-3 or, 3-5-2.. but defensive mentality, and the arrows, all, except the defense, attacking...
Maybe thats the tactic to, with "defensive mentality" stop his attack's... and, with more players in midfield and as a ST, going to the counter area, maybe, this will be a good way... ...it seems, opposite, yeah? all players running to the other area, with defending mentality, ¿?¿? but... I am looking that maybe is the way against this ultra defensive teams...
