If you play 4-4-2 against a team playing 4-5-1 (which most do now)

Then you are going to get over run in midfield. The position which is most important in terms of modern post charles Hughes football.

So in that case yes it is formation problems, if you play like for like then it is most likely that you were the poorer team or the unluckier one.
