we do not hold the ball up
This is the fundamental problem. We play wingers on the wrong wings meaning our attacking play is constantly narrowed. We dont stretch full backs by getting to the byline and forcing the centre halfs to turn and drop meaning we lose the ball in midfield positions with men committed ib front of it. We invite attacks by sitting deep abd seemingly find it impossible to defend simple corners into the box specifically on corners taken from the oppositions left side. We have bought box strikers and we dont play to their strengths meaning our ability to take pressure off the back four is greatly reduced. We have a million midfielders and very little strength in depth across the back four.
Apart from that we are fine.
