I agree they are getting caught up the pitch but the response should not be to have

less possession. The response should be to tell the fullbacks to resist going forward all the time and also we should be playing another midfielder who will drop in and cover them when they do. Hopefully a fit again Mulumbu might do that. Dorrans doesn't and Howson blows hot and cold.
