He has a good team so, in that cases the formation I trust more is 4-5-1 V, defense, counters, from flanks, blue arrows in 4 defenders
but you must have 2 good wingers ofc. If you don't, then 4-1-4-1 (same orders) or 4-1-2-1-2 (nd), from middle (little more risky)
or 5d-4-1 (park the bus).
If you accept one goal, don't turn it on attack immediately. Only after a 2-0 take a risk.
Good luck
