They over-cover, they're too narrow.
They don't need to be that narrow with five at the back.
But you just watch Rojo here now...
he goes into a space but i think he might be unsighted you know sometimes a tick of deflection maybe i've been at the back post as a right back when the ball comes in low through a number of bodies and you don't quite know where the ball is if you just look at rojo he runs past maguire and it makes it look like ashley young's then out of position but for me that's the left-sided centre-back um has got to get in there but i think for me the for me no run across the near post once that ball goes past for me you know it goes past lindelof at that near post you've got big problems the people at the back you're in trouble you're
