This is what happened.

Weirdly, I went 0-1 up and then conceded 3 just like last season in the first leg of Qualifiers.

I tried 4-1-4-1 and it was 1-1 so I changed to 4-5-1V and immediately conceded 2 goals.

All his goals were assisted from his CB's and scored by his strikers.

No doubt he counter attacked at home and long balled it. His defence got 8's and the rest his squad got 7's.

I'm thinking of just going for it at home. 3-5-2 flat, attack, whole pitch press, mixed passing, offside, if I get desperate, 3-4-3. What you guys think?

Please help me shake this curse haha.
As @Dv8r already said. Also, if you have more then 1 good striker, why use only 1? I don't get it sometimes, and in this kind of tournaments when it is "win or get eliminated" situation you need goals! Play offensive and attack, attack and attack. Let your opponent defend or play "counter-attacks", let him think that you have the advantage.
