3-4-1-2 wtf

I played a cup match against somebody with 3-4-1-2 and I went with 4-2-2-1-1 but it didn't really work... The match ended 2-2 but I was home with me and another guy watching the match.. (15%+ possession for me) I checked the counter formations (first thread in <<formations and tactics>>) but it didn't have any suggestion as a counter, so I want to ask for help from here! We had the same quality BUT I HAD 15% MORE POSSESSION FFS!!! and he also had more shots ....
