so much this.
at the moment the full backs are only suceeding in cramping their own space and reducing their decision and execution time
if inverting, it really needs to be only one at a time. if both wingers are staying wide, this introduces the issue of what the non-inverting fullback should do.
it's sort of like we are trying to be 'on-trend' with inovative tactics before we can even bed down a basic 4-4-2 properly. bring the variations in later.
i'm hopeful this will be ironed out before the season starts.

Not 100% sure on the system so far. Not sure what the FBs are trying to do, they're not really inverting and they're not really overlapping - so they're not asking difficult questions of the opposition and very easy for the opposition to control us in wide areas, e.g the FBs sort of go forward but end up close to our wingers (who are trying to stay wide) and too easy for City to hem us in. The double pivots sort of make it hard for our FBs to really invert as there's not enough space - we sort of end up with a fairly static back 6 while attacking. We need to make the opposition make difficult decisions, we need to pull them out of shape - it was far too easy.
So far the system is a net negative resulting in our players having to be playing very well to offset.
