Turns out the guy who usually plays in midfield had the better game in defence than the defence.
That is how bad we are at the back.
I don’t think it does make sense tactically. If you’re short on centre halves you shouldn’t just throw more men in their for the sake of it. We’re so top heavy in terms of talent we should’ve started with a 4231 and tried to push them back and make their only chance the counter
I’d have had more faith of outgunning them than expecting us to put a decent defensive performance. Players in unrecognised positions is always a huge problem, especially at the back
