4-1-2-1-2 diamond style

[John Pia]

As you can see it didn't end very well considering i didn't play that bad.1 more question,would this tactic work against a 5-1-2-1-1 Narrow Diamond?

I tried it and it works in principle, but I would give you a suggestion: be careful not to lose the attacker (yellow card or injury), otherwise there'll be trouble! Keep ready an alternative (I substituted a wing by moving the passage on the opposite wing .... but too late).
That's all.

Bro John Pia...next time..pls use the formation as belows..it wont let you down....Special to beat narrow Diamond...I had 100% record win against them by this:

3DCs-2W(DML/DMR)-2MCs-AMC-2STs

Brian, I think u mean 3"DC"-2W-2N-1-2.

I beg to differ, using 4-1-2-1-2ND as primary I have beaten the 3N-2W-2-1-2 everytime
2 wide defending midfielders (as u suggested) is the exact formation to counter with an attacking midfielder (AMC) 4-1-2-1-2 ND
So far I find that I'm only having issues with those attacking from flanks (3N-1-4-2).
