Lost 1-0. Perhaps this is the ultimate tactic this season. Haven't lost 2 matches in a row in cup to a player one star lower in all 13 seasons!
Started with 3N-4-1-2. He scored a goal while I was on hard attacking (home). Changed to 3N-2N-3W-2 during half time and then to 3N-4-3, but couldn't conceive any goals. I had 18 shots, 7 on target, 10 Corners, 4 Free Kicks, nothing worked against his 4 star defense (without SA).

At least now we know what formation/tactics not to use.
