"Second of all he has a very strong AMC who will crush my offside tra" this could work to your advantage as he has so many offensive players in your half that there will be alot more chance to cath one ofside!. you need to play four across the back though!!!.
2nd you can use mixed pasiing if you like or switch between the two my friend, playing force counter attacks will leave you more exposed to conceading aswell and he has a very good team so it would be a gamble to start with that, I wouldnt but its your team at the end of the day!.
Arrows...playing all reds is giving you an attacking threat, if you dont want to be that offensive then take a couple off! but I never use blues in any formation!!!.
