The 'problem' is that both full backs push on leaving the CBs exposed

This is part of the aggressive counterpressing but it leaves us vulnerable to quick transitions as has been demonstrated.

Listening to Phil last night I think he is willing to take this risk and thinks we should be able to cope, but we haven't been able to so far. We have been one of the best attacking teams and one of the worst defending, so like you say, they've not quite managed to get it right. But the forwards are now also working harder in terms of their defensive duties so maybe it is finally coming together.
