yeah, against a team like Man City it could work
but it was more of a defensive 8 or 9 then! We were happy for them to have possession and just get everyone behind the ball. While offering almost no attacking threat.
Against most teams in the league though, I'm not sure its the best way to set up. Something obviously has to change, but I think it might be the way we play the system and the way our midfield supports the defence, rather than the fact it is a back four.
