Edit: Ha ha, has someone put a filter on El**ch

I don't think you should ignore midfield problems. Daniel, El**ch, Johnson and Aloisi were all a bit slow while Felipe wasn't exactly a great ball winner either. Just man on man we didn't win many 50/50's in the middle. I thought this was better under the 3-5-2 obviously with the extra man but also because Lia and Ferrante were often on the field at the same time. Under the 4-4-2 the wide mids still have to track back and play more centrally on defence which didn't happen quickly enough.
