Defensive Set Up VS Manchester United

[SongFabPersie]

So I'm in the Quarter-Finals of the CL and I'm drawn against Man United with the first leg at the Emirates. My key players - Song, Robin Van Persie, Nasri and Walcott are missing with long term injuries. I managed to win 2-0 and scored both goals from set-pieces after being totally dominated. I played a 4-2-3-1 with Clichy Hummels Vermaelen Sagna in defence and Djourou and Andrea Poli protecting the back four. With the second leg I aim to get a goaless draw. Any suggestions on how I can park the bus effectively and come out with a 0-0?

Just setting your team to rigid/counter or possibly even more defensive if you think its needed.

Also try playing with 2 DMCs, one as an anchor-man and one as a DLP defend or a defensive midfielder defend/support, set your FBs to defend. Play with a MR and ML set to wide-midfielder support with a AMC and SC as your only real attackers (advenced playmaker/poacher or attacking midfielder/target-man depending on your players) so you can try and maybe get one on the counter.

Hmmm..I think that can work but I'm sceptical that my defence will hold 100% concentration and stay focused.
