I'm playing intramural soccer and my teams first game was last week. We won 1-0, but had about 70% possession and probably 2-3 scoring chances. We're pretty good, but couldn't get anything going and couldn't create any space. I'm not a fan of the field dimensions, 80 yards long by 40 yards wide(the width of the 18 box). We tried 2(defenders)-2(midfielders)-1(AM)-2;2-2-3, and tried everything that we could think of to create space but just couldn't because the other team just bunkered 6 guys behind the ball and the field is too narrow to cross or make any real diagonal runs. Is anyone playing and does anyone have any suggestions?

Don't get caught pushing too many men forward... That's really the biggest way to get scored on. Most good teams will sit back and defend and then counter when the other team has their whole team pushed up.
If you want an extra player (if you're at lsu) Im interested. I've been looking around for an intramural team

If you have someone dangerous enough, take some longer shots. Force them to challenge the ball 20-30 yards in front of the net.
It might take a half for them to figure it out, but once they start challenging further up the field, the space behind them should open.

I fricking hate it so much. It looks and feels so stupid. There's no offsides did you consider cherry picking?
