Down 0:1 in first leg, advice to play against 4-5-1 V

[Autumnbackstreet]

Hi guys, any advice to play against 4-5-1V while I'm down by 1 in the first leg of Championship and the second is coming tonight?

Our rating are almost the same,
in the first game I played with 3-2-2-2-1, got counter by his ST (4-5-1V) at the last moment, as checked, his best player is the ST, not sure about whether i should be attacking or defensive for the coming game,

Thanks.

I'd say theres a few ways of going out this.

4-5-1 Flat could be a possibily as with 3-5-2 flat or 3-5-2 V. Or you could go 'Mirror match' and go 4-5-1 V as well.

But my personal recommendation is 5-4-1...

-----ST-----
AML-----AMR
---MC-MC---
-------------
DL-DC-DC-DC-DR

His striker will struggle to get past a 5 man defensive and you wont exactly be short in attacking options with a formation set-up like that, You need Normal Mentality + Defensive with long balls and Counter-Attack, This should ensure you have sufficient attacks in the game whilst fending off his attacks.
