Honestly there's more to football than "8 defenders" to tighten the defense up - of course we'll be better defensively if we have 2 full backs not overlapping and 2 wingers playing essentially as wing backs and both CM's being 5 feet ahead of the CB's wherever they are. That's a great tactic... to sure up when we're 1:0 up and under pressure or something like that. We start games like this though, consistently.Look, I think he's done a great job for us in as far as tightening us up, getting us more disciplined and setting a solid base, but it's hard to disagree with anything you've written.
