First leg away.
3-1-4-2 vs his narrow diamond.
Starting 11 quality: 46.2 vs 43 for me.
Both manager were present, +5% ball possession for him.
I easily won 2-0.

Second leg at home.
3-1-4-2 vs his narrow diamond.
Starting 11 quality: 46.4 vs 43 for me.
SAME ORDERS. EVERYTHING WAS THE SAME.
He was not present, +13% ball possession for me.
I lost 0-3!!!!!!!!

Why??
Why in 90 minutes I've read just 1 (a single one) commentary for my team.
What the hell would be a "safe" result in first leg?

I was totally powerless. It seemed that nothing could change the final result.
that is happening to me too
now i understand, orders and formations should change if home or away .. as home teams tend to push up regardless of your orders in 50% of time, while tend to counter away regardless of your order .. so if i play 4 t mid with 3 central CB away. my players tend to be in front of opposite players and deny them space, so it works, but at home i noticed the inverse and my players tend to going up more thus get more exposed with same formation and orders
