This usually happens when

o the back four don't come out quick enough
o There is a lack of pace in the back four
o the team is getting tired
o the forwards don't drop back to defend against the opposition back four coming forward

o this usually makes life in midfioeld difficult as lots of space to cover

He probably just realised it having played in midfield!!!
