problem with special formation

[harry2101]

hi..
i have a big problem with a special type of opponent's formation.
looks like this:

DMC
MC MC
AMR AML
ST

or

DM DM
AMR AMC AML
ST

my man city squad is very strong and im doing pretty good on all other opponents, but if i meet this formation (for example aston villa and liverpool) im performing soo bad. my formation is a 4-3-3 with the tactics from this huge download-pack on this site. i tried att, deff and standard, but it doesn't seem to work. (i once won in liverpool 5-1, but dont ask me how^^)

so is there something special to look for? of course i already tried all kinds of opponent instructions, so it has to be something about the tactics..

If you are playing the 433 with just one central midfielder, then he is going to get swamped by the number of opposition central midfielders. When you play the games, check the territory screen and see how much possession they are having in the middle of the park - I'm betting its a dominant figure. You may want to consider when playing these teams to bring an extra midfielder into the middle to cope with the numbers
