Well, I am not the best with formations but I will do my best.
You see, players without an ST can do equally as well as players with them, the ST is not the most important role in my opinion, ST’s are more of a supportive role to your wingers but AMC’s do a similar job as well.
So by the looks of it, this is the formation you play right?
Ok, if so, I will show you the weakness, sorry if this looks confusing to you but I will explain it to you, the arrows are showing that your flanks are weak, the space can be exploited by the opponent’s AML/AMR. The Circle’s there show that you have no DL/DR, these could help you fend off the opponent’s wingers. So the AML/AMR could have exploited your flanks.
One good thing is you have a dmc and your opponent does not.
Your opponent has three players, in midfield, the 2 mc’s and the ml, whereas you have two midfield players so you are out numbered.
That is it really. I think it should help. That is where I think you went wrong.
