1-1 at home in CL vs weaker opponent playing 4-4-1-1

[Ljepoje]

Had a very frustrating result today. Playing against weaker team using 4-4-1-1 so I played 4-5-1V with attacking mentality, finished 1-1. Was he playing defensive and counter attack?

What should I do in 2nd leg vs this formation? As I will need to score at least 1 goal and either draw or win.

I see that 3-5-2 flat is recommended, but I don't have ML, only AML

You could play 4-4-1-1 as well, or 3-2-3-1-1 (DR-DC-DL-DMC x2-MR-MC-ML-AMC-ST)... Otherwise, stick to 4-4-2 (classic)... Attack,mixed/short, flanks/through the middle, normal etc.

Post a screen of your team

Ps, You should buy a ML (an average, or cheap one).
