To be honest I think your tactics let you down in this one as your team is strong enough and the formation gives you an advantage. However If he's getting too many chances an option would be to put a DM in instead of a CM.

Regarding tactics,

Mentality: Normal
Passing: through middle
Pressing: own half
Tackling: hard
Passing style: short
Marking: zonal
Force counter
No offside

My worry is that he is strong on flanks (Def & Att) and with your formation with no wide DR/L's you would need your MR/L's to cover and track back. That doesnt mean putting blue arrows on them but you dont want them stuck up the field (red arrows) and not helping defend at all so leave them with no arrows and attack through middle.

A 4-4-2 is best countered through the middle and usually with a diamond 4-1-2N-1-2 but since your extra defender is weak and you'll need a over-weighted attack anyway to push for the win.

Good luck!
