Hi guys, have a bit of a unique and incredibly annoying problem here. Every time I play City I get absolutely destroyed, as in I get one shot on target and they get literally 20 attempts on goal per game. First game I lost 3-1 away to them in the league but I'm too stubborn to want to lose again in FA Cup to them away. I reload but I just get destroyed again and again so I have nfi what to do. Here's their line up for the match (except Jagielka, Onuoha and Richards in for the cup tied defenders)



And here's how I line up (either Defour or Alonso, doesn't make a difference, still same outcome)



Tactically I've tried everything, tried being aggressive and attacking, tried just normal tactics, tried being ultra defensive and hitting on the counter, nothing works. Any ideas would be a godsend. If it's any help, I can beat any other team in the game except City, I don't get dominated this hard by any other team.
 
Because this doesn't happen against any other team I face. Not even on my other file with Deportivo when I played Inter with significantly worse players did I get owned this hard.
 
If any one needs a good tactic there is 2 ppl to go to

JP Woody & TBH


both have made fantastic tactics
 
Well what i would do is..
Stop Agger going forward and stop carragher going deep.
Bring on Alonso for Masch and have him as a playmaker alongside Defour
Stop your Wing backs pushing up so theres no speace left for City to break into.
 
yea , have back four playing virtually in a lin, then there is no room for their winggers to move into, give gerrard a free role, i would keep masherano in their to fight for the ball and break up their play, get wingers to stay wide and get alot of crosses in as if they get headed out then defour of gerrard will be there to strike them.

hope it helps ;)
 
Cheers for the replies, nothing's working though, still same outcome. Oh well I guess I'll just have to accept the 5-0 and move on lol.
