The funny thing is, in the first leg of CL, i got only 60-40. This was when i was watching the match, he wasn't AND it was a home game with almost a full capacity crowd. I used a simple 4-4-2 against it, seeing that he has only 2 defenders, with the usual slightly motivated orders, and i lost 3-4!
In the second leg, i changed my formation to 4-1-4-1 and barely scraped by with a 2-1 win.
I don't understand what happened. Why would a team with only 2 defenders be able to keep me from scoring so much and get so much possession out of an illegal formation? My team was 3 points better and at level 3, it seems like a decent difference. The goals weren't scored from set pieces either and most of my set pieces that are usually successful were blocked!
Any ideas?
