I see more clearly how ignorant, glib and irrational you are now. You think formations matter much more than the vast difference in quality between teams, and that a formation with 4 players either seething on the edge of the box making runs and taking on players , or looking to run beyond CBs to latch onto through passes inside the box--, a tactical team of 3 attacking midfielders, left, central and right and 2 CMs equally proficient at attacking as much as they are at defending with an average quality score of over 90%, is a defensive formation, and can justifiably lose against a team 40% inferior, which has a goalkeeper with an average grade of 20%. Even worse, you fail to understand that formations mean nothing, are not rigid and that the play, and results obtained on the pitch depend far more on manager instructions and the quality of the players: yours and the opposition.
