How to counter a 5-2-3 formation?

[Chris Rath]

@ D.Bradys post:
Play an offensive system with 4-4-2 or 3-4-3 to use your possession advantage. Use short passing and at 4-4-2 normal at 3-4-3 attacking mentality. I expect the opponent to play long balls, so if you choose 3-4-3 you should activate your offside trap and pressure whole pitch.

Edit: Or look at the counter formation thread.
