the problem wasnt Just dropping deep though, it was starting on the front foot , getting a couple of goals up and then deciding to sit deep and invite pressure on our shit defence, it happened to much to be a coincidence, had we kept at teams instead of trying to see games out I reckon we could have had a good chance at finishing top 4 last season!I genuine believe a large reason for us dropping deep so often for the last 4 years is the team attempting to shore up the defence.
Part of that is because the likes of Dier,Davies, Sanchez et al have all been bad, but also because we haven't had a truly great DM since Demebele and that's 5.5 years ago, isn't it?
As annoyingly bad as our defence is, it's been exposed too often for too long.
