your formation and orders were good.
one thing you could do is to set long pass.
I always use that if oppo doesn't have DMs but also checking assistant's comments (if long pass isn't working so I go to mix).

If you have the control (good b.p., more shoots) and a MC playing good, you could switch the second MC with an AMC.
Set blue arrows to your 5 defenders.
Set max victory bonus

PLAN B
Try the "magical mystery" of 4-4-f2, everything normal/default and watch the game from your wife's account.
Maybe till 35-40' min.
Then decide what to do
