One midfielder comes deep but then the two centre halves spread and push out allowing the full backs to go further up. Our defenders aren't comfortable with this and the moment there is any press they retreat and don't have the distribution to match it.Again that's nonsense, if you take the best possession teams the midfielders take the ball fairly deep, players like Pirlo, Xabi Alonso, Busquets or even Schweinsteiger would routinely take the ball inches from the CBs feets. We don't control midfield because first we do not have a midfield general, we have two all action players and a water carrier but after 2 seasons I also suspect that the positional and tactical trainings are shameful.
I have been sitting in my seat for 20 years at the side of the pitch and it is a marked difference how further back our defence is these days and then the midfield come deeper as a result. Simple as that.
