what settings have you tried mate?

I think people fall into the trap of using close down much more team instruction, which causes the whole team to press and loose shape instead of setting the front players to close down so that the team maintains it's defensive shape. Usually a 4231 variant aswell.

Is using 4-2-3-1 and playing wide will always left you vulnerable at crosses? I have tried many tweaking, but still conceding A LOT from crosses. I just got thrashed by Chelsea, more like got thrashed by Hazard.
