Need a thoughtful advice on beating 4 4 2 classic?

[Gintaras Račas]

3N-4-1-2 works well for me (like suggested here: http://forum.topeleven.com/formation...ation-use.html so please don't forget to check that thread before posting yours). Also, if you ask RJSlow, he'll suggest 4-5-1V which I guess will work just fine.

Can you advice me on orders and arrows on 3n 4 1 2 and 4 5 1 v???

For advice on 4-5-1V ask RJSlow. As for 3N-4-1-2 must have attacking/hard attacking mentality and whole ptich pressing. Also can use hard tackling if your defenders are at least as good (or better) as his attackers. Other orders are preferable: I use mixed passing style and focus, zonal marking, no offside trap and forced counterattacks.
