Here's what irks me...

Possession -> 67%
Shots -> 28-13
Passes complete -> 87% - 79%
Corners 12-5

All stats were won by me except the one that matters, the score. Two questions...First, HOW???!! Second Question; Is the 4-5-1 V no longer effective against the 4-4-2? I had a match at the end of the last season that I had to fight to get a 2:1 win, again with a much higher quality team. Also, how should I use my motivation arrows in the future?

Thoughts?
In fact, 4-3n-2w-1 do it better. 4-5-1v have AML - AMR - (1) ST against 4 defenders, 4-4-2 have ML - MR - (2) ST against 4 defenders and 1 DMC . You see, 4-5-1v are not much stronger. And the second, what's about your orders and arrows?
