4-2N-3W-1 then Hexagon

So what was the problem? the formation? the 442? or just troll result? I see you only had 2 shots on target, this happened to me and Rolly Polly the other day?

I watched the match, basically the goals that Barcelona were scored came from a counter attack and a double corner so it was very unfortunate. At the start, July Fourth had a bunch of opportunities to score but they kept missing from 1 vs 1 chances. All of Petersen's corners were headed out...it was more of a troll result really. Formation shouldn't really matter considering the quality gap.

Troll result from a troll team, they have given me trouble in all 4 games I played them this season.

4-2N-3W-1 then Hexagon

This was my Cl leg against a 4-4-2 user with slightly lower Quality (59 vs 54 with several 1* benchers), and the butterfly worked good. Same for ND so far in the season. But still, did he score on counters?

Could you see this working against higher Q?

My issue with the butterfly is that a lot of the players are just dotted around the pitch, leaving free space to exploit. I'd be happy to test your orders with this formation and see if it does well for me. But 4-1-4-1 is what I use now after having 3 seasons of disappointment with the butterfly.

Actually... tell you i am playing against the butterfly tonight in a dead rubber CL match. I will use the 4-4-2 classic and see if he gets anything on me.

Champions League, Top 16, 2nd Leg

United Til I Die (5)2-1(2) FCB

United Til I Die 98.6 4-1-4-1 then 4-3N-2W-1 - FCB 98.2 4-3N-3

We had possession and more shots on target but we were under the cosh and we fell behind in the 14th minute but we did not panic and on the half hour Sanchez shot from distance and got us level, it was pretty even stuff in the second half and we were not prepared to wait for them to score again so we pushed the wingers forward and replaced our DMC with Suljevic which had us carving out more chances and we got our reward 6 minutes from time when Bosch passed to Sanchez who scored again.

Goals: Hosainzadeh (14), Sanchez (34,84) MOTM: Costa

Team Talk: Tough match but maybe we just deserved it.
