Still, 3-2-3w-1-1, is something I would have tried, to go up the middle myself and counter his middle formation. with 2 DMC to help out the 3 DC, you should have at least tied the game or won with a low score.
Regardless, I had the same problem: I won the first leg away 2-1 and lost the home game 2-4 with the same formation, 3-1-4-2 vs his 4-3-1-2. I was surprised to say the least. 4 goals in a game against me has not happened all season with this account. I kicked myself for not playing a bit more defensive going home with the lead...
Oh well, there is always next season. Good luck mate!
