when you dominate the midfield, don't care about 2 amc, May be 1 amc 2st or 2 amc 1 st make you some problem but 2amc 2st is absolutely nothing to a flat formation, just play attacking and hard talking their amc has no ball .
You need to take into account if he has a decent free kick taker too, then hard tackling is a bad choice, I don't agree with your tactics there, but that's just my experience over 4 and a half seasons, if its worked with you then fair enough.
I don't claim to be a Top Eleven expert but, if anyone would like advice, please don't hesitate to contact me through 'private messaging', I try to reply as soon as possible.
