I think it’s that plus giving it away in positions where our CM aren’t there to block

Which is particularly the case when we’re chasing a game.

West Ham did this time and time again, dispossessed our midfield and were running straight at the defence. Villa too.

It’s a combination - better protection for the defence, and stop giving it away in places where the defence is left completely exposed. They’re related points, admittedly
