The back four wasn't good enough but if you play a back five and throw in two DMs suddenly you've got something.Which is what I'm getting at with the Spain 2010 comparison - same engine room as Barca, but without Messi there was no swashbuckling. They just kept opponents from doing anything constructive and bided their time to find a chink in the armor.
Remember how defense was the big question mark for Chelsea going into the season after Abramovich bought all those attackers, and how everyone said the back four just wasn't good enough?
