How did this happen?

[Razz]

This is NOT a vent thread so spare me those tedious comments. I just want to know if anyone has any explanations as to HOW this is possible? For example, tactical explanations.

My opponent was up 2-0 after 60 minutes and the possession was close to 50-50.
He had 9 shots and I had only 5. He had 4 shots on target and I had 0.

(I managed to score 3 goals after I changed my formation to a 4-5-1 V but that was AFTER 2-0)

My questions is: How can such an inferior team shoot so much more than me, have so much possession AND lead 2-0 while continuously attacking?
Shouldn't my superior players have managed to not get outplayed so easily?

Only thing I can tell you from that picture is the team on right should have a possession advantage because of 3 vs 2 in the middle.

As for the rest, based on your description, your opponent was probably using hard attacking, thus generating more shots with less accuracy. I'm further guessing the team on the right is yours, because only a substantial quality difference (you neglected to tell us how 'inferior' his team is.) should score 3 goals with that formation against 3 central defenders.

The team on the left effectively matched up 1 on 1 (attackers vs defenders) while the team on the right was effectively 1 vs 3 (attackers vs defenders). If the team on the left had moved a striker back to DMC or MC they'd have probably won easily.
