4-3W-1-2 Vs 4-1-4-1

Just a suggestion: normal, down both flanks, own half, long, zonal, counterattack, no offside trap..

You too late, but thanks.
I got 0-0 draws. Nothing helped. I even changed tactic to 3N-1-4-2, used attacking, whole pitch, short passing, down both flanks, everything else by default. All his defenders has 1 star. Other players was equal to mine 3-4 stars.

What was my mistake? short passing and down both flanks? They can`t go together?
