but there are two solutions to the problem

one is for Neil to decide that clean sheets are a priority now and to tell the full backs to stop attacking.

The second option - changing to a back three - requires a whole load of new training and working on the system. It then created other imbalances in the team. When we play against a team with just one up front, we've got three players marking him, so we are going to be heavily outnumbered somewhere else. That place will probably be in midfield, so then the wing backs would have to tuck inside, completely undermining their attacking potential.
