4-1-3N-2 against itself, what makes you win?

[Roberto Troiolo]

Hi i've played with the above formation against an identical formation and lost 1-4.
My players were, a part one role, all better or equal of the otherparty

What did I do wrong?
What's the best choice of arrows and tactics for this formation?
Thanks
