Talisman,

I know I'm still a n00b, but here is the flaw I'm seeing in your formations...

You've only got 6 offensive players to his 8 defense. He's got 4 midfielders and 4 defensive line. Also, your formation is arranged up the flanks while his hole is in the middle. His formation is set for st/shadow striker right up the middle where your opening is.

I'm gambling he probably played a defensive formation with counter attacks on and long passes.

Anyone else seeing this?
