Okay thanks for the advice, my defence is pretty strong I've only conceded about 10 goals all season (most against attacking formations similar to this).
My strikers seem to be on and off, they score a hat trick in both games one day and then nothing the day after (full stamina bar on both).
I've never really tried the force counter attack option because I was unsure whether it limits my shots or not?

I'm away from home the first leg so I want to build up a bit of a lead or just grab some away goals to lower the pressure at home, without conceding too many.
