Shitty Defending

[Burgnich]

Someone had to stop the frankfurt player from running freely. Ranocchia decided to do it, also Vidic realized this and both defenders bagan to close in, but Vidic stopped when he saw Ranocchia taking the task.
I think this area is the typical DM area to cover. On the first goal the 3 central mids are all walking, and no-one seems to care about the frankfurt player storming into Inters "DM area". Mvila should have been there. His job is to protect the defence from exactly situations like this.

Exactly The decision was the correct one you have to close down the ball... Mvila was caught out of position because the ball was lost right in front of our defense. I only partially blame mvila due to him being new to the team.

Although I don't like back 3 system, I don't see the poor defending is due to 3-5-2 formation in your article. In your picture, all the midfielder got to wrong position, where it should not the proper position they are supposed to be standing. Those goals conceded are more about the collective individual mistake from the player, rather than the formation problem.

In your pictures back 4 system, the players are standing in the place where they are supposed to be, so the gap look smaller. We can't compare a broken back 3 system to a relatively working back 4 system, and claim that all the fault are becoz of the formation.

I didn't say it was all because of the formation. I was just pointing out the specific problem in the way our formation is set up. I also pointed out the flaws of the back 4 as well.

Each formation has it own flaws, and we need to do a better job of fixing those flaws that come along with the way we set up our 3-5-2.
