4-5-1 v style is good against 4-3n-3. he probably covered his flanks

Not always, it depends on the orders.

True but with the right orders it works well, which is what i am saying

[Chair City FC]

I posted the orders. Only thing I would have done different is set to up both flanks.

Attack
Mixed
Own
Normal
Mixed
Zonal
Force C/A

What confuses me is. I played against a higher quality side. who was using a 4-4-2. and won the match 3-1 the night before ..

Uhmm...so you put Attack mentality with Conter Attack on? Usually this combination doesn't work well, it could be the key of your defeat.

Agree, counter attack is for defensive game play, not logical if u set attacking mentality, its about defending let the oponent attack, intercept the ball....

I know, im saying that i would not of used 4-5-1 v style against 3w, I would use it for 3N. So he probably used his ML and MR with blue arrows and covered his flanks

For my experience, against 3W midfielders is always Best to use also 3W or 5 flat.
