From what i see you used 4-2-2-2 with flank attacks and he used 3-4-1-2.
If he used center focus attack his amc wich is rated decent 8 and 2 strikers done the job. i personally prefer midlle focus hard attack rather than down both flanks cuz i trust better a striker than a aml or amr.
Anyhow im with you on this, keep calm and BBTOTM#
