great review mate 
  I have made all the changes you have suggested to the tactic, dropped  the defensive line, ticked counter, set the CB to NO tight marking so  they don't push up too far forward and get caught out.. also dropped  their tackling so they jockey more than commit
the WB's were one of the best parts of the tactic for me 
  for quite a lot of people actually, so I find that maybe you struggled  with it and the players for only a few games and the tactic did not gel  completely (as all tactics need to) so have not changed that much there 
I did encourage them to cross now more than play through passes so lets see if that works 
I also find the striker role to be perfect (if the right player is used)  Rob Lewo/Jovetic etc, a proper DLF, Ade is not the ebst DLF as his  passing and creativity etc is not the greatest, I changed the role to AF  for him and he scored over 20 goals in a season for 2 years in as many  games 
 he was simply fantastic
I will check into the set pieces as well, I did notice a few goals being conceded from there...
thanks again for the great review
This is my reply to the review, a few changes were made and its working even better, will test it out for a few more games though and will update the OP and download
just need to check on set pieces now
