Against 5-3-2 I always go 3N-1-3W-1-2. I am sure 3W-1-3W-1-2 would also have worked
The key is to draw the defense out into midfield and drop long balls in or speed past them, both of which you team should have been able to do easily. When a team like that is playing defensive, you have to watch out for the counter attacks, which seemed to have done the damage.
Sorry to see that. Chalk that up to a lesson learned for the rest of us. ****ty result from the NGE.
