Full-backs and wing-backs in attack
My complaint is that our wide defenders are rarely where the attack needs them, whether that is wing-backs sitting too static and too deep in build up or Dalot making central runs he never converts.

- Match analysis Dalot goes forward again One sequence in the Manchester derby shows how United's best run behind a set City block came from a full-back, while the centre-forward drifted away from the box.
- Tactical analysis Amorim's build up: the fatal flaw The inverted centre-back is only part of it: why Amorim's goal-kick structure fails in a league where 47% of games come against elite pressing sides.
