Crushed by an assymetric formation!

[HoofDaddy]

Ultra defensive formations like that you need to high press to keep the ball in their half. Or go hard defensive with low and put counters on to draw their defenders upfield, whichever your team can do best. I would have used a asymmetrical left flank overload to beat this team. That formation is barely asymmentrical, looks like your typical defensive, long passing counter attack middle formation, you screwed yourself with the 3w defenders.
