FM22- How to beat the ever-OP Liverpool? (or at least challenge them)

[flipfold27]

Hi, need your input on how to beat Liverpool. I feel that since fm21, Liverpool is way too OP. I have tried lots of tactics, be it positive, cautious, defensive and very defensive with different formations like 433,4231,532 and the extreme 5131, but no to avail. Keita as Mezzala roaming freely and scoring for fun altho had instructed Dec Rice to mark him. The FB duo, are unstoppable. Milner scoring screamers altho his long shot is less than 10. Freekicks - from center of the field they play long ground pass to find V Dijk to run after the ball and score. It's quite funny because I don't face this kind of "crazy unrealistic" performance from other big 4 like man c, man u, chelsea & arsenal. Again, I'm having issue to beat Liverpool since fm21 (spurs and winning the league) and fm22 as newcastle. thanks in advance.
